I always felt no actor could portray Willy Wonka nearly as good as Gene Wilder. As I watched this video the idea came to me Jeff Goldblum could be the one to pull it off.
I think I know what you mean but I do think its very hard not to start playing an exaggerated version of yourself when you're so good being yourself. Think Jack Nicolson, Christopher Walken, and Arnold Swartzenneger.
With all of the Brits playing American Pop Culture icons, it's a shame that Goldblum hasn't been picked for Dr. Who. He might be as good as Tom Baker in the role. ( "as good"...no one will ever be greater than Mr. Baker, and I say this as someone who's not really a Dr. Who fan)
If he was doing a mouth-to-mouth transfer of wine to Geena Davis by the time the annoyed woman was leaving, it gives you some idea of what was transpiring beforehand so I can see why she might be a bit irritated😂😂😂
His look is that time travel that takes me immediately to 90s and even 80s. And if a person who saw him later in his life like nowadays and then sees these interviews it would be so weird for them , cz his personality and everything is exactly the same but with that hair and outfit, it would be like watching a video of your uncle
