Watch Jeff Goldblum lookalike get into epic fight in viral video
Cops are investigating a viral video that shows two men — including a Jeff Goldblum lookalike — duking it out on a Richmond, Virginia, street, authorities said Tuesday.
The street fight was recorded by 24-year-old Justin Townsend, who posted a clip of the brawl to his Twitter account that has since been viewed more than 7 million times.
The video shows a shirtless man square off against a tall, lanky foe, who Twitter users noted looks strikingly like actor Jeff Goldblum.
At the start of the fight, the Goldblum lookalike appears to land several blows, then hits his opponent in the face with a back kick, sending him falling into a nearby parked car.
He then regroups, appears to land several more punches to the face and finishes the fight with a kick to the shirtless man’s ribs, according to the video.
Townsend said the fight kicked off at about 7 p.m. Monday in the Carver neighborhood of Virginia’s capital city.
“The guy with glasses came home from work and I guess parked his scooter in the wrong spot,” Townsend told The Post.
“So the shirtless guy was really mad and just started cussing him out and started calling him every racial slur in the book, even though they’re both white,” he added.
Townsend said both men were treated for injuries by medics after the fight.
Gene Lepley, a public affairs officer for the Richmond police, said officers responded soon before 7 p.m. after getting reports of a fight.
Both men were interviewed, but no one was arrested because neither wanted to press charges.
