He’s a wizard after all!
On Wednesday, Jeff Goldblum’s Madame Tussauds wax statue was unveiled alongside the actor, 73, at the famed New York City museum — and it looked just like him.
Goldblum’s wax figure wore a black shirt, pants and matching jacket and rocked his signature black framed glasses.
The real “Jurassic Park” star, meanwhile, donned an all-white outfit and the same glasses as he cheekily posed for pictures next to his look alike.
Unlike Goldblum’s statue, there have been plenty of other celeb wax figures that have failed in the past.
The Berlin branch of Madame Tussauds was mocked in 2021 for a figure clad in a sexy Christmas outfit that was supposed to be Rihanna. And last year, Madame Tussauds Blackpool in Blackpool, England, revealed their statue meant to resemble Beyoncé.
Social media users couldn’t help but notice that the figure instead looked like, well, actress Leah Remini.
Goldblum’s wax figure — which is deserving of a double take — comes amid his press tour for “Wicked: For Good.”
The actor plays the Wizard in the two-part film adaptation of the hit Broadway musical “Wicked.”
Last month, director Jon M. Chu, 45, opened up about directing the iconic movies.
“It was like a kindergarten set all the time,” he told The Post.
“Everyone was playing. I mean, Johnny [Bailey] and Ari [Grande] together is insane. Then you throw Bowen [Yang] in there and Cynthia [Erivo]!”
Although Chu was popular amongst his cast, he sometimes felt like he “had to be a teacher.”
“The spirit of the movie had to be like that,” he explained. “And so we had to always play, and they had to trust that I would protect them in the edits. And I think that comes out of it. So that was really fun.”
Along with Goldblum, “Wicked” stars Grande, 32, as Glinda the Good Witch, Erivo, 38, as Elphaba, and Bailey, 37, as Prince Fiyero.
And behind the scenes, everyone on set was dancing through life.
“I loved their rehearsals because the pressure’s on,” Chu detailed. “Everyone’s expecting a lot from Glinda and Elphaba. They’re so confident in what they do, but we are all scared because we’re taking on such beloved properties.”
“But we would sit on the on the floor of my office to rehearse,” he added. “We wouldn’t be standing up. They loved the floor, they had to feel the ground. So, we’d be there and we talk about every line — everything. We’d try different versions. And working it out like that was really beautiful for us to find our way in to this Oz.“
After part one of “Wicked” hit theaters in Nov. 2024, the pop culture phenomenon took off.
Moviegoers turned screenings into massive singalongs, and Grande and Erivo went viral for communicating through touch during their press tour.
Chu didn’t see the impact coming.
“I know people love ‘Wicked,’ but to see them fall in love with Elphaba and Glinda in this form, with Ariana and Cynthia, to understand the power that they have — that’s been the best,” he gushed to The Post.
“To see my little girls and my little sons as well, fall in love with the world of Oz … ‘Wizard of Oz’ is so old and ‘Wicked’ has been around for 20 years. That has been the best part of my whole life. They love what I do for a living now, it’s great.”
On Wednesday, Goldblum took a moment to gush over his bond with Bailey.
“We have each other,” he said while on “Today,” before simply adding, “I love this movie.”
