AceShowbiz - A massive statue of a reclining Jeff Goldblum has been erected in a London park to mark the 25th anniversary of "Jurassic Park".
The 25-foot-tall (7.6 meter) statue of the actor, which recreates a scene in the dinosaur epic during which his character, Dr. Ian Malcolm, lies breathless, his shirt unbuttoned, after being attacked by a Tyrannosaurus rex, overlooks the Rover Thames in Potters Field.

To celebrate, we’ve created a Jurassic-sized homage to heartthrob Jeff Goldblum ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
He’s waiting for you at Potter’s Field until dinner time tomorrow 🗓#JurassicJeff#JP25pic.twitter.com/Oimt6WAc8A
Fans have been flocking to see the odd landmark, commissioned by streaming service NowTV, although many have pointed out on Twitter the statue is an odd addition to the London tourist scene, as Jurassic Park wasn't filmed in the U.K. and Goldblum has no ties to the city.
25 years ago, Jurassic Park (and one of the best moments in movie history) was born 🦕🦖
