Enormous Jeff Goldblum statue appears in London
Twenty-five foot statue appears near Tower Bridge, to mark the 25th anniversary of the film Jurassic Park
An enormous statue of Jewish actor Jeff Goldblum has been placed on the bank of the River Thames near Tower Bridge.
The statue, which is 25 feet long and portrays Goldblum lounging with his shirt open, was erected by a streaming service as a temporary exhibition in honour of the 25th anniversary of “Jurassic Park.”
In the megahit science fiction film Goldblum played Dr. Ian Malcolm, a sarcastic and cynical mathematician.
The pose and outfit come from a scene.
The Goldblum statue is not the only oversized representation of an American celebrity to be shown off in London in recent days.
Last week, protesters flew a giant inflated balloon shaped like a baby Donald Trump during the U.S. president’s visit.
According to CNN, the Trump Baby, diaper and all, will soon be coming to the United States. Activists plan to fly it near one of the president’s golf clubs in New Jersey.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
