A massive, shirtless Jeff Goldblum statue appears in London for 25th anniversary of 'Jurassic Park'

Variety with 9Honey Celebrity

A massive statue has popped up on the banks of the River Thames by London's Tower Bridge to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jurassic Park -- and, no, it's not a dinosaur.

Now TV's publicity team commissioned a larger-than-life rendering of Jurassic Park star Jeff Goldblum, clad in Dr. Ian Malcolm's iconic all-black outfit with the shirt entirely unbuttoned, in an effort to recreate his famous pose from the film.

The statute is reportedly 8 metres in length, around 3 metres in height, and weighs about 150 kilos.

Many have stopped for photos with the statue since it appeared Wednesday to reminisce about the film and Goldblum's scene-stealing role, known for memorable one-liners like, "Life finds a way."

And, of course, there was some ~perfect~ commentary about the statue on social media.

Goldblum recently reprised his character for the latest installment in the Jurassic franchise, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, starring Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard. BD Wong also returned for both Jurassic World films as Dr. Henry Wu.

He and Goldblum are the only primary cast members from the first Jurassic film to join the new iterations. The original Jurassic Park launched on June 11, 1993 in the United States and on July 15, 1993 in the United Kingdom.
