Life finds a way...

A 25ft statue of Jeff Goldblum has appeared in front of Tower Bridge, to mark the 25th anniversary of Jurassic Park.

The huge artwork was commissioned by NowTV, depicting Goldblum’s appearance in the film as chaos theory expert Dr Ian Malcolm.

The statue is situated in Potters Fields, and sees the actor lying on his side with his shirt open – reflecting one of the film’s most famous scenes.

“Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should.”

NowTV also confirmed that the statue weighs a staggering 150kg – equivalent to 48,000 teabags.

Earlier this year, Goldblum reprised the role for a brief cameo in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

It was announced in May that he will also release his debut album later this year.

The actor is said to have impressed label executives after playing piano for Gregory Porter on Graham Norton last year.

He will release the record on classical label Decca Records.

Decca director of A&R Tom Lewis said in a statement, “As far as I can tell, everyone loves Jeff Goldblum. He’s a fantastic jazz pianist, a great band leader and just about the loveliest man in the world. His love of jazz is infectious and whenever he plays he makes you feel very happy. If we can take Jeff’s music into people’s homes then we will be helping, in our own small way, to make the world a happier place.”
