AceShowbiz – Jeff Goldblum has said he’s indeed joining “Wicked“. Following speculation that the 70-year-old actor would play the Wizard in Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of the Broadway musical, Jeff is now admitting he is part of the project.

“I was just on this set of ‘Wicked’. I’m not supposed to talk about that, but it’s been out and about,” he said during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!“. Of his co-stars, he said, “You should see our witches, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, very good.” He added, “I shouldn’t talk about it, but I was shooting one day, and I found myself tearing up in fear, a childhood fear came back to me.”
