YouTubeReally we were just counting the days till it wouldn't seem too random to highlight some of Jeff Goldblum's most memorable moments on the big and small screens.
Happily, today the Hollywood-and-cult-fave actor turns 63 and what a year it's been, as always.
First of all, this is his first time celebrating his birthday as a father, having welcomed son Charlie Ocean with wife Emilie in July. And in addition to getting married again and becoming a dad since his last birthday, he's continued to build on the prolific resume that has won him legions of fans for widely differing reasons. Whatever your fancy, he's it: Dashing nerd, quirky jazz man, ragingly hot thesp, he of the emphatic gesticulations and enunciation, etc.
And the moment has arrived to enjoy some of his Goldblumiest moments to date. Enjoy:

Brad Bellflower has us wanting to pack our bags every time this commercial is on—and it's on a lot:
It's a good thing we like Jeff Goldblum so much.
Happy birthday, favorite!
