Jeff Goldblum unveiled a wild surprise for “Jurassic World” newcomer Scarlett Johansson.
On Monday, the “Jurassic Park” alum, 71, delivered a special video message to Johansson during her appearance on Today to congratulate her for being cast in the upcoming fourth installment of the “Jurassic World” reboot series.
“Dr. Johansson, this is Jeff Goldblum. Here’s what I want to say to you. This I know: Scarlett will find a way,” he said, nodding to his famous line from the first film, “Life will find a way.”
“Don’t get eaten, unless you want to,” he added, in a neon T. rex sweater.
Goldblum played Dr. Ian Malcolm in 1993’s “Jurassic Park” and returned for three more movies in the franchise.
Wrapping up his message, the longtime actor blew Johansson a kiss before adding, “I love you.”
Johansson gushed to Today’s Savannah Guthrie over the unexpected message.
“Oh my gosh, I can’t believe Jeff actually said that to me,” she said. “I mean, I think my life is complete now. I can retire now.”
Goldblum’s welcoming words bring things full-circle for Johansson, who has long been vocal about her desire to join the massively successful sci-fi franchise.
Last month, Johansson, 39, revealed to Comicbook that she spent a decade trying to earn a role in the dinosaur flicks before finally being cast.
“I’ve been trying to get into this franchise in any possible way for over 10 years,” Johansson explained. “I’m like, ‘I’ll die in the first five minutes! I can get eaten by whatever! I’ll do the craft service!’ I’ll do anything for it.”
“The fact that it’s happened in this way, at this time, just is actually unbelievable,” she added. “I can’t believe it.”
