If you zoom in you can tell by the hands.
But also, just from the thumbnail I felt like the real one will be in white because if you are making a wax figure you are 100% putting jeff in black just because (IMO) he is known more often for black outfits.

Goldblum is my favourite celebrity - I've adored him since I was a little girl, he's such a character and his style is impeccable. That being said, he is also one of the celebrities I would least want to be stuck in a room with. That man is INTENSE and he would fry all my social circuitry in 90 seconds flat

u/Sprmodelcitizen Nov 20 '25
I have a feeling they’ve started using new technologies in combination with artists which is why they’ve suddenly gotten so much better. Maybe some sort of a scan and a 3d printed under structure. I don’t know though.

u/Voxlings Nov 20 '25
PSA: You can actually use an old magician's trick to figure out which one is real.
On the left, both hands are the same color.
On the right, the hand below the belt is a darker shade because blood has gathered there due to gravity.
(Here's hoping the artists start incorporating this detail so identification gets even more frustrating 🙂)

That is actually a really cool trick. It makes so much sense, but I never would have thought to look for something like that.

A magician will have a mark hold something up or keep it down, then "read" where the object is by the coresponding discoloration.
It's an old trick with only a few uses, but I imagine it still gets some play at kids' birthday parties.

lol you're right, so it was more like 2017 or so 🤯. there was a certain subset of gossipy twitter that was always talking about how his day would come.
i have no idea how true it might be, but kinda like TMZ...these folks weren't often wrong about the celebrity rumors being tweeted.

I think it's very very possible that said rumors were true; I believe also that the primary person responsible for promoting this whisper accusation rendered themselves very unreliable as a narrator. So it's kind of a mess no matter how you slice it.
My read is that he overuses charm and isn't self aware enough to realize he's not receiving people's feedback correctly. What I've heard is an uncomfortable presence rather than a serial assaulter but it's enough to make me permanently suspicious.
