Watch Jeff Goldblum gush over Jonathan Bailey's muscular legs & ask him to 'release the Kraken'
That's all we want too, Jeff!
We know it’s technically gray sweatpants season, but we’re still all about men in short shorts, and apparently, Jeff Goldblum and Jonathan Bailey are too!
While promoting their starring roles in Wicked, the co-stars got cheeky in a recent interview with Canadian celebrity news show etalk, where Goldblum talked about his love of Bailey’s penchant for wearing “shorty shorts.” We couldn’t agree more.
The topic came up after the interviewer pointed out that Bailey had started a “free the man thigh” movement in Canada after he was photographed alongside Goldblum at the Australian premiere of the Broadway play adaptation wearing a pair of tiny shorts that showed off his impressively defined thighs.
“All I’d say is, let your sons dance, and they’ll have legs like that. Also, let them play tennis,” Bailey quipped before pointing out that “Jeff’s thighs are seven times the size of mine, and his ankles are 2.3 millimeters.”
@etalkctv Jeff Goldblum is all for Jonathan Bailey’s “shorty short shorts.” 😭 The duo can’t keep a straight face while talking about ‘Wicked’ 🧙 Watch the full interview on our YT. #JonathanBailey #JeffGoldblum #Wicked #ArianaGrande #CynthiaErivo #interview #movie
In an adorable display of friendship, Goldblum responded by teasing Bailey right back. “I said, when he gets those shorty shorts on, all we can say is release the Kraken,” he said.
“And I always say I’m cracking a nut back there when I tense them,” Bailey joked about muscular thighs that we now can’t stop fantasizing about them.
“It’s not only his thighs, it’s his well-formed calves and thighs. That’s a fantastic development,” Goldblum agreed.
The interviewer then suggested that for Wicked 2, Bailey should cut off his character Fiyero’s pants to show off the gift god — and the gym — gave him. Someone contact the costume designer stat!
