Up way too close with the giant sexy Jeff Goldblum statue

"Andy, as a CNET journalist, what makes you excited to start your day?"

It's nice to have an easy answer: a giant sexy Jeff Goldblum.

Enjoy these gratuitous photos of this bare-chested statue, which was on show this week outside London's Tower Bridge.

Made by Now TV to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Jurassic Park, giant Jeff is not only a great way to commemorate the film, but also a wonderful homage to what it is to be sexy and open-shirted.

He's 20 feet long and took 250 hours to make.

At first I thought he must be inflatable, but that's not the case. I can assure you that statue Jeff's abs are rock solid. Just like the real Jeff, I'm sure.

I was joined by Jeff Goldblum impersonator Andy.

He's appeared on the UK's Graham Norton Show alongside Jeff Goldblum himself.

The chest hair is painted on, but the nipple proportions are surely accurate. 

Gratuitous? You bet.

I'm told Jeff didn't know about the statue before it was made. I'd love to imagine him strolling down the Thames and happening upon his giant sexy lookalike. 

It's glorious from all angles.

Oh Jeff, tell us your hopes and dreams.

Yes.
