Discussing fatherhood, Jeff told Today, "It's amazing, it's revivifying, and makes my relationship with Emilie, frankly, enhanced. Seeing [my wife] in this new role is unbelievable. She's heroic beyond imagination."

Speaking of the more difficult side of parenthood, the actor said, "And it's challenging and it's sometimes maddening and very volatile. As you know, at 3 and 5, 5 and 7, they can be like feral creatures unleashed. Oh yeah, and sweet and amazing. It's great."

Last year in August, the actor spoke to Radio Times and revealed that he hadn't envisioned becoming a dad until he met Emilie. "I never thought that I was going to do it. I had never been particularly passionate (about fatherhood) or envisioned it for myself," he shared.

Coming to the movie front,Goldblum will be next seen in 'Asteroid City', whichis an upcoming American romantic comedy-drama film written, directed, and produced by Wes Anderson. More details about the film are yet to be revealed.
