What exactly counts as Vancouver? Not even popular actor Jeff Goldblum knows.
The Jurassic Park star visited 麻豆传媒映画recently to perform a jazz show with his band, the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
Goldblum, a long-time fan of jazz, has been playing with the band for several years. In 2018 they released their debut album, The Capitol Studio Sessions, and have followed it up with two more. They released the third on March 24.
The band's 麻豆传媒映画show at the Vogue Theatre on Aug. 12 was their first time playing in Canada.
During the performance, Goldblum paused to joke about a 麻豆传媒映画stereotype (that is also a running joke among locals).
"I've worked in Vancouver. I love Vancouver," he reads off of a piece of paper. It is unclear whether what he is reading was written by someone else or by Goldblum himself.
"I love Simon Fraser and BCIT, and that Metropolis shopping mall," he continues, and the audience laughs. "And then it says parenthetically [that] you're actually describing things in the suburb of Burnaby."
Many locals like to poke fun at this stereotype; people who say they're from Vancouver, or say that things are in Vancouver, when, really, they're from/in a totally different suburb.
