Why Jeff Goldblum Will Never Come To New Zealand

Jeff Goldblum says he may never come to New Zealand after an internet hoax once claimed he had died here.

The hoax, which made global headlines in 2009, claimed that Goldblum had died after falling off a cliff in New Zealand.

"Could you imagine if that's the way I go? Wow. Could you imagine? 'They foretold the future, he actually did fall off a cliff in New Zealand.' It's got to happen some way, some time.”
