Jeff Goldblum lives the life we all want to live when we're 65 and impossibly handsome. And a clotheshorse. And a massive flirt. Meet your delightfully weird (and weirdly delightful) new hero.

Five decades of Hollywood glory have given us a pretty good idea of who Jeff Goldblum is on-screen. The actor is charismatic (Jurassic Park), surreal (The Fly), legendary (Annie Hall), eccentric (The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou), brilliant enough to save Earth from aliens (Independence Day), and core-meltingly handsome ( imdb.com/jeffgoldblum). But the thing about Goldblum that puts him next to Bill Murray in the pantheon of cult figures is that he's just as charismatic, surreal, legendary, eccentric, brilliant, and handsome in person-at least according to 34 of his famous friends, who, along with the man himself, spoke to GQ about the greatness of Goldblum. He's an icon to icons, inspiring everyone from Woody Allen and Christopher Walken to Sarah Silverman and Paul Rudd to live their most fun, most delightful, most Goldblum-iest lives. We think there might be a few lessons in there for you, too.

Show Interest in Other People

Parker Posey ('Fay Grim,' 2007): I met Jeff Goldblum at one of Carrie Fisher's parties in the '90s. My friend said he was talking to me like he wanted to open me up for Christmas. Later, I ran into him while working on Josie and the Pussycats-he had a suite with a piano in it, and Rosario Dawson had never seen Waiting for Guffman, so Jeff had us over. We lounged on his bed and watched it, and he played piano for us afterward. He was never untoward or lascivious-he's one of those men who delight in women.

Jeff Goldblum: Look how nice and natural your fingernails are. That's a very nice fingernail treatment and simple clipping.

Odenkirk: It's that thing you hear about Bill Clinton. Everybody feels...listened to. I'm curious what Sarah Silverman would say.

Odenkirk: I wonder what Glenn Close would say.

Odenkirk: He was with Laura Dern for a long time, wasn't he?

Odenkirk: I wonder what his wife would say about him. Please tell me he's still married.

Give Them More Than They Ask For

Allen: I hired him to do one line.

Jeff Goldblum: The cinematographer said, "Do the line: 'I forgot my mantra.' Then you can improvise more if you want." And I went on a little bit in the few takes we did, where I got into some kind of tiff with [the guy on the phone]. I said, "Really? Well, you are a jackanapes!" because I'd read something from Shakespeare recently, and I liked the sound of that word. Woody was sweet, but he didn't say anything to me on the day.

Allen: Never spoke to him.

Jeff Goldblum: He turned to somebody and said, "I think that's the first time I've ever heard 'jackanapes' in a movie."

Allen: He did the line very well.

Keep It Tight

Hemsworth: He has the energy of a 10-year-old-he's in fantastic shape.

Silverman: He eats very clean.

Jeff Goldblum: I've always experimented with life enhancement through nutrition. My first wife and I would bring our juicer on planes, and we'd do a carrot cleanse for a week, until I'd turn orange and all my poop would be orange-things that I wouldn't adhere to now. Now I just get a good night's sleep. I wash my face with soap. I like to work out a little bit. I try to eat right. I've stayed clean. I don't really drink or smoke. I try to keep my perspective wholesome.

Be Open to Unexpected Opportunities

Jeff Goldblum: Aerosmith was the band the first time that I hosted Saturday Night Live, in 1993, around Jurassic Park. I showed off my piano to the band, and Steven Tyler took me to Peter Luger for a big greasy steak. I like to stick to the lean cuts these days, but I don't think they had that there. And about a year later, we were doing Nine Months, and Tom Arnold said, "I'm going on this helicopter to see Aerosmith."

Jeff Goldblum: Steven said, "So, Jeff, are you going to come play with us or what?" "Really?" "Really." And the piano player whispered, "Here, the chords go like this: C, A, go back to B, and then go back to..."

Arnold: Jeff was onstage. I go, "Is that him? What is he doing?" But he was jamming with Aerosmith. And he didn't tell us! I would have made an announcement. Like, I'd laid three years of groundwork with Steve Tyler and Joe Perry, sucking up to them, and in two minutes, he's onstage.
[When asked if Aerosmith would be open to Goldblum joining the band onstage in the future, Tyler declined to comment.]
Make Your Own Fun

Lake Bell ('War Stories,' 2003): Someone would walk by who would have the breath of a resemblance to some celebrity-some guy who's washing a car across the street who vaguely looks like Matt Dillon, but on a really tired day. Jeff would be like, [whispers discreetly] "Matt Dillon looks terrible." I'd go, "Where? Where's Matt Dillon?" And he'd be like, "I mean, the years have gotten to him...."

Jeff Goldblum: The other side of this game is that people come up to me all the time and say, "My whole life I've been told I look like you." And my wife, Emilie, can tell you it's a wide range of physical types. But I always say the same thing: "That's flattering to me. I only wish! Let's take a picture together."

Nick Kroll ('The League'): It's a game called "Jeff Goldblum." He'd say, "Jurassic Park," then "Laura Dern," and then someone else would say, "Blue Velvet," and eventually you'd get to "Will Smith," and then you'd say, "Independence Day," and it would be back to "Jeff Goldblum."

Jeff Goldblum: It's just for social lubrication and fun.

Jeff Goldblum: I wonder if it nourished our material at that time.

Dafoe: It didn't help me!

Norton: Jeff said, "I don't know if this would interest you-and if not, of course no problem-but I'm very good at reading books aloud, and if you'd like I'd be happy to read it to you." She said, "Sure." She had about 90 pages left, and Jeff read her the rest of it out loud. She said his reading was excellent.

Jeff Goldblum: We got out of the plane, and her boyfriend, Evan Goldberg, who writes with Judd Apatow, contacted me and said, "Look, I'm going to propose to that girl that you sat next to. I've written her a poem that's kind of the proposal. And I want to drive her over to your house and have you read it to her. Can we come over at 7:30 in the morning tomorrow?" "Sure!"

Evan Goldberg: We drove up to the Hollywood Hills in a limo for the proposal haiku.

Accept Your Weaknesses

So Watson said, "Yeah, I never wanted you to play me in the movie." I said, "Really?" He said, "No, I wanted John McEnroe." And I went and told Tom Stoppard, who said, "I think he might have meant John Malkovich." So I went back to Watson. I was being nice. I said, "Maybe you meant John Malkovich?" He said, "No, no, no. Remember there was a scene in the movie where you're playing tennis? He would have done much better." And I said, "Oh, yeah. That's true."

Be a Good Member of Your Tribe

Every morning he would wake up two hours before the call, do vocal exercises. He read through the script every morning. It was inspiring.

Jeff Goldblum: Kevin would kind of roll out of bed for the morning's shoot, have a little cold cereal, and he was ready to shoot. I'd do my exercises, and I'd have to put on my vanishing creams or whatever before I felt prepared to present myself. I've started to actually put into practice some of his Zen modeling of self-trustfulness.

Kline: There was a great room in the middle that became the hub where we would have parties for the cast.

Close: It was better known as The G-Spot.

Kline: They'd recently discovered the G-spot. But maybe "G" had something to do with "Goldblum"?

Close: We played charades with a vengeance.

Jeff Goldblum: In those days, I thought it was cute to kind of cheat, and I was looking in the bowl of charades titles. JoBeth Williams saw me do it, but I didn't mind getting caught.

Jeff Goldblum: She flushed red and went on a tirade. It humiliated me in such a way that it was a turning point: Cheating is not okay or fun.

Speeeeeak with, Uh, Inteeeent, Yes, Intent

Norton: Jeff's voice is the way I've always imagined a shrink who uses hypnotism would sound.

Dafoe: One long ribbon of transmutating verbiage with hiccups in it.

Kroll: There's...very little...uhhhhh...actual silence. It's like, um...how would I descriiibe it? It's like riding a bike...through like a...a hilly suburb.

Munn: Jeff Goldblum does a great Jeff Goldblum.

Place: Like Chris Walken. It's not how normal people speak. And I don't mean that they're not normal, but the rhythms don't fall like normal American speech does.

Jeff Goldblum: So many people do Chris. People I know. When you're in his orbit, you can't help it-you want to be him.

Remember Where You Came From

Be a Tiny Bit Self-Aware

Jeff Goldblum: I like to look at #jeffgoldblum on Instagram, which my wife makes fun of. And then I take pictures of the things that interest me. [Pulls out his phone] There are many paintings and pictures of me, some nice and some very primitive and bad. People get tattoos of my face. This is me in a banana split, where I'm the center of a dessert. People made a balloon out of me...very nipply. Quite nipply. This is me in Earth Girls Are Easy. This is a stupid shot of me on a pool table. Here's the painting Wes Anderson gave me after Life Aquatic that he commissioned [pictured above]. You see why my wife says, "Cut it out."

Waititi: Jeff's like a delicate flower. And we, his fans, are the sunlight that keeps him alive. He doesn't go out in the sun. The reason he's so tanned is from all the adoration.

Munn: Jeff plays in a band every week out in L.A.-anybody in the world can go see him. He's lived his life in a way where he hasn't sheltered himself, and I think a big reason why he's so charismatic is because he's so in touch and in tune with himself and the world and people.

Allen: He was a very good piano player.

Rudd: There's an authenticity to Jeff, because you can't be as idiosyncratic as he is, in the way that he is, without it being genuine. And one of the best parts of that genuine appeal is a real interest in others.

Jeff Goldblum: I just like people. They always seem to be nice.
