According to a recent study published in Communications Biology, a team of scientists extracted what they believe to be dino DNA... which of course was was the starting block for Michael Crichton's 1990 science fiction thriller, and the six disaster films it would spawn.
Revealing his favorite dinosaur to be the Tyrannosaurus Rex, he reiterated that Dr. Malcolm would certainly say cloning one, as ideas go, is one big pile of s---.
"My character in the movie would probably say no. That's a bad idea to do," Goldblum continued. "That's what my character would say. I'm an actor you know, I know very little about that."
But as for whether he himself would like to be cloned, it was a resounding: "No."
