Jeff Goldblum's children are already looking through his closet for future family heirlooms.
In an interview with Fashionable about his role in WickedThe 72-year-old actor reflected on his bond with his two children, Charlie, 9, and River, 7, whom he shares with his wife, Emilie Livingston.
“They go through my closet and say, 'Dad! When you die, can I have this? Can I have that?' So we have that conversation,” Goldblum said, jokingly adding, “At least it doesn't seem like a big deal to them.”
“I like the idea of possibly having them [be] the recipients of a Cartier see a piece,” he continued. “And here is the other inheritable Rolex watch. “It’s a real Rolex watch, but it’s personalized.”
This isn't the first time Goldblum has thought about his legacy. In 2018, he said iNews: “I keep doing calculations and I keep extrapolating where they will be and where I will be. And when I buy a watch, I wonder who will get it.”
Reflecting on his future fatherhood, he admitted: “I'm glad I waited. It feels great to do it now because all the things I'm considering fit perfectly with the big questions and challenges of having children and what you want to expose them to: what you want to leave them, what life is, and what kind of life you bring to them.”
Goldblum also emphasized the importance of teaching your children to be self-sufficient. Talking about the iHeartPodcast Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi In April of this year, she explained her philosophy on parenting.
“'Hey, you know, you have to row your own boat,'” he said, recalling conversations with his children. “It is important to teach children. I'm not going to do it for you. And you don’t want me to do it for you.”
The actor highlighted the value of hard work and finding purpose. “You have to figure out how to figure out what you want and what you need and where that intersects with your love and passion and what you can do,” he said. “And even if it's not, you might have to do it anyway.”
In February, Livingston shared a video on Instagram of the couple's eldest son, Charlie, expertly playing the piano.
“He loves his speed, quickness and holy means!” she wrote: “Don't comment on the fact that her feet are almost as big as mine.”
In an August interview with the independentGoldblum opened up about the joys and challenges of welcoming her first child, Charlie, at age 62.
“It's amazing,” he shared. “All the emotions come up and you are forced to examine everything you model and what you could be better at. “It is a great task and opportunity.”
