Any time a celebrity trends randomly on social media these days, people tend to think the worst. So whenJeff Goldblum, the star ofJurassic ParkandThor: Ragnarok, was trending on Twitter, it was easy to jump to a worrying conclusion. Instead, as we came to find out, the actor was trending because someone who looks quite a bit like him got into a street fight.
Leo Senpai recently took to Twitter to share a video of hisneighbors fighting. One of the men looks a great deal like Jeff Goldblum, with his black clothes, peppery hair, lanky physique and glasses. The other, as one Twitter user described him, looks like a “grown up Bobby Hill” fromKing of the Hill. The two dance around a bit before trading blows. The video clocks in at 40 seconds in total. Ultimately, the Goldblum-esque man gets the better end of the deal, landing a couple of impressive roundhouse kicks.
People, naturally, had questions about what happened. As Leo Senpai explained in a series of follow-up tweets, the shirtless man in the videostarted the fight. He is said to have been yelling at the man who looked like Jeff Goldblum and threw the first punch. Senpai also said the man has been disrespectful towards women in previous interactions that they have had. Here is what Senpai had to say about it.
“Yes the guy who was shirtless deserved it. He started it. Before this he was yelling at glasses guy calling him every racial slur too, shirtless man threw the first swing as well. And literally anytime I’ve ever talked to him he always says disgusting things towards women. The reason thisass whoopingwas dished was because he joked about ‘oh I could just hog tie her up’.”
The responses on Twitter were largely in favor of the Jeff Goldblum look-alike. Many expressed how impressed they were with his martial arts skills, while others madeMortal Kombatjokes about the man landing a fatality on his opponent. Twitter user Connor Morris, meanwhile, suggested the actor may fit in well with thePower Rangers, saying the following.
“Who knew Jeff Goldblum was a Power Ranger”
