"I'd probably be doing the same"— Netizens react to Jeff Goldblum looking at his own red carpet photos at the Oscars

Jeff Goldblum was spotted checking out his photos from the 2025 Oscars red carpet while waiting for the ceremony to start. The Wicked actor walked the red carpet for the 97th Academy Awards on Sunday night, March 2, 2025, with his wife Emilie Livingston.

Livingston wore a bejeweled metallic gown and Goldblum sported a cream-colored jacket over a patterned floral shirt with an orchid on his lapel and a lilac scarf, paired with black pants.

However, while the couple was seated and waiting for the event to start at the Dolby Theatre, Goldblum whipped out his phone and looked at an Instagram post of one of his red carpet photos.

Snaps of him looking at his 2025 Oscars red carpet photo soon went viral. One netizen didn't fault Jeff Goldblum for it, saying that they would probably do the same.

"Honestly, if I was a celebrity, I think I'd probably be doing the same lol," a Reddit user wrote.

More fans shared their sentiments over Jeff Goldblum checking out his 2025 Oscars red carpet picture, calling him "relatable."

"We love a relatable King. If I was on a red carpet I'd IMMEDIATELY need to see those pictures," a user on Reddit pointed out.

"If I were a baddie like him I'd be doing the same," another Reddit user commented.

"Well, typically after someone takes our picture, we want to see how they turned out. Very relatable," a Reddit user wrote.

Among other commenters is a Reddit user admiring Goldblum's sense of style and saying that it would make sense for someone like him to check out the looks he created. Meanwhile, another netizen suggested the actor get a privacy screen for his phone.

"He obviously cares a lot about his looks and puts a time and effort into them. So of course he wants to see the payoff for all his work. He has a consistent style and looks good," a Reddit user wrote.

"LMAO love this. But if I was a celebrity I would definitely buy a privacy screen protector for my phone for this exact reason," another Reddit user commented.
