!!Tropes commonly associated with Jeff Goldblum in RealLife:

* CloudCuckoolander: Get him, ChristopherWalken, JohnMalkovich, and Crispin Glover together, you got a party!

* TallDarkAndHandsome At 6'4½", he's one of the tallest A-List actors in Hollywood, second only to Tim Robbins' and Vince Vaughn's 6'5".

* {{Adokrable}}: Most of his roles tend to be this.

Though typecast as white and nerdy eccentric intellectual types, Goldblum has been quite TheCasanova in real life. His second wife was none other than GeenaDavis, and he had a long time relationship with actress LauraDern, whom he met while working on ''Jurassic Park''.

* GibberingGenius: The trope's patron saint. In the interests of space, the trope lists ''exceptions'' for Jeff Goldblum rather than examples.

* NerdsAreSexy: You want him. Don't deny it.
* OlderThanTheyLook: His hair may be going grey but he still looks pretty damn good for someone born in 1952.
* RunningGag: "Must go faster." He finds a way to shoehorn that line into most of his roles

* VerbalTic: He tends to stutter and "um" and "uh" while speaking. A lot.
** Lends to a bit of irony to casting him as Aaron, the brother of Moses, in ''The Prince of Egypt'', as in [[Literature/TheBible the original book]] Moses begs for Aaron to speak for him because he lacks his stutter.

Checkmate.
