“I’ve had many positive answers like this,” he said Goldblum In the new episode of the podcast Rolling Stone Music Now. “I think we did well!” The actor’s lineup seemed almost inevitable: he played a not too different role, the Grain-masterin Thor: Ragnarok (2017) and loves the Magic For years.

“I always had a very strong feeling about the movie [de 1939] with Frank Morganand when I saw him on stage, I loved it, “he says Goldblummaking a special mention of Joel Graywhich originated the role in Wiced on Broadway, and your successor Ben Platt. “I think I’m a little right, in a way, when making a version.

Goldblum has a new album, Still Bloomingreleased with your band, MILDRED SNITZER ORCHESTRA. The bassist and leader of the group, Alex Frankwas responsible for the vocal training of the actor to Wiced. “He worked with me in this very seriously. He came to London and was there every day.”
