Jeff Goldblum: Sadness Makes Us More Beautiful

Jeff Goldblum is my idol!! I’ve spent my whole life watching him on screen so, despite being HEAVILY pregnant, there was no way I was missing out on the opportunity to have him on the podcast. As well as being a mega-successful actor (and Hollywood legend), he’s also an insanely talented jazz musician.There’s a reason he’s so many people’s dream dinner guest… The first rule of Jeff Goldblum-ism is to be yourself and he is perfectly unfiltered. We spoke about everything from working with Wes Anderson to dealing with loss… and how his therapist ended up officiating his wedding! He also revealed what he is BAD at (surely Jeff Goldblum isn’t bad at anything?!) and even serenaded us with some of his beautiful jazz tones. Jeff's love for life is absolutely infectious and he was such a dream to have on the podcast. His new album, with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, ‘Night Blooms’ is out on 5th June 2026. You can pre-order the album and find tickets for his 2026 world tour at: https://jeffgoldblum.decca.com/ #JEFFGOLDBLUM #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD 0:00 Welcome Jeff! 3:34 MAD getting on the wrong side of Wes Anderson 4:49 Jeff and Paloma’s wild romantic gestures 9:50 Playing mad characters 12:15 SAD the last time Jeff cried 15:25 Does sadness make people more beautiful? 17:56 BAD what is Jeff Goldblum bad at?! 24:00 Does couples therapy work? 27:54 GLAD “all we have is now” 30:12 Jeff serenades us!! — Find us on: Instagram /   / madsadbadpodcast   TikTok /   / madsadbadpodcast   — Credits: Producer: Emilia Gill Edit Producer: Kat Milsom Assistant Producer: Alex Reed Video: Josh Bennett, Jake Ji and Harry Sawkins Sound: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Ewan Newbigging-Lister Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Shot on Sony Cinema Line cameras FX6 , FX2 with Sony G-Master lenses 16-35GM, 24-70GM
