Jeff Goldblum has reminded everyone why we love him after breaking down in tears during a recent re-watch of Independence Day. Directed by Roland Emmerich, the 1996 sci-fi action blockbuster sees Goldblum co-star alongside Will Smith as a hostile race of aliens invade Earth. Goldblum played David Lavinson, a radar technician who becomes crucial in Earth’s fight against the alien race, as he is the only person smart enough to disable their ship’s deflector shields.
