Jeff Goldblum’s kids already have their eye on some family heirlooms.
The Wicked actor, 72, recently spoke with InStyle about his role in the movie musical and opened up about his relationship with his two sons, Charlie, 9, and River, 7, whom he shares with wife Emilie Livingston. Goldblum noted that his sons are already interested in fashion and have even been picking through their dad’s closet.
“We’ve got two little boys, Charlie and River. Now 7 and 9. And in fact, they go through my closet and go, ‘Dada! When you die, can I have this? Can I have that?’ So we have that conversation,” Goldblum shares with the outlet.
“It doesn’t seem to be any big deal to them, at least,” he jokes. “So I like the idea of possibly having them [be] the recipients of a Cartier watch a piece. And here’s the other inheritable Rolex watch. It’s a real Rolex watch, but it’s customized.”

In an August interview with The Independent, the actor spoke about becoming a dad to his sons later in life. Goldblum welcomed his first child, Charlie, when he was 62.
“It’s amazing,” Goldblum said of fatherhood. “Every emotion comes up, and you are forced to examine everything that you model and could be better at. It’s a great task and opportunity.”
In April, Goldblum appeared on the iHeartPodcast Table for Two with Bruce Bozzi and chatted with host Bruce Bozzi about how he’s choosing to raise his two sons.
On the podcast, Goldblum shared that he’s adamant with his kids that they’ll need to work to support themselves when they’re older, telling them, ” ‘Hey, you know, you’ve got to row your own boat.’ ”

“It’s an important thing to teach kids. I’m not going to do it for you. And you’re not going to want me to do it for you,” he continued.
“You’ve got to figure out how to find out what’s wanted and needed and where that intersects with your love and passion and what you can do,” the star said. “And even it if doesn’t, you might have to do that anyway.”
