Jeff Goldblum 'Touched' By Death Stories
The actor insists he wasn't upset by the hoax, and has even credited the reckless media with helping him get back in touch with old pals.
He says, "This was a rare opportunity to experience your own death. (Fans) still run into me on the street (and say), 'Glad to see you're alive!' I reconnected with people I hadn't seen in a long time. I wasn't angry I was touched."
