“Life, uh, finds a way,” Dr. Ian Malcolm famously told us in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 dinosaur-filled masterpiece Jurassic Park. Apparently the second half of that quote is “to break your goddamn heart” because during an appearance on the Today Show in Australia, Jeff Goldblum revealed that he was nearly the voice of Siri. We first learned of the news via Esquire UK, and now all I want to do is hurl my iPhone into the goddamn ocean.
“Steve Jobs called me up a few decades ago to be the voice of Apple,” Goldblum revealed during his appearance. “That was early on, and I did not know it was Steve Jobs.”
Would you buy an iPhone if Jeff Goldblum had been the voice of Siri? Who else would you rather have than the default voice? Let us know in the comments below.
