He's the veteran US actor who is set to star opposite Chris Hemsworth in the upcoming flick Thor: Ragnarok with the chiseled star. 

And Jeff Goldblum has admitted to having a 'man crush' on the buff actor, admitting that he feels like a 'dung beetle' around him. 

The Jurassic Park star, who was in Sydney recently for a Menulog campaign, made the admission to Kyle and Jackie O in a phone interview on Monday, revealing the pair had great fun filming together. 

Bromance? Jeff Goldblum has revealed to Kyole and Jackie O that he has a bit of a man crush on Australian actor Chris Hemsworth.

'How do you feel standing next to Chris Hemsworth, because you're a good-looking man - you're a catch,' Kyle said.

'But then comes someone like Hemsworth with the arms the size of most people's legs. Do you find that intimidating?' 

Without hesitating, Jeff admitted that he did find Chris's form more than a little daunting.

Intimidated? I don't even feel like I'm in the same species,' he said. 'I feel like kind of a dung beetle next to all members of that family.'

'Oh yeah, I don't even feel like I'm in the same species,' he said. 'I feel like kind of a dung beetle next to all members of that family.'

Jeff has also previously worked with Chris' brother Liam on the Independence Day reboot. 

'I'm lucky. If you've met the three brothers and the parents, they're just a great, great family - I just adore them to pieces,' he said of the Hemsworth clan.

'It's a terrible representation of a real Aussie though because they are superior beings compared to the rest of us - we're in thongs, we're smoking ciggies, we're drinking, and a Hemsworth is like a God,' he said.

'He's the perfect human,' Jackie O concurred before Jeff gave a very Independence Day-esque answer with:  'If we got visited by aliens, we would send them right to the Hemsworths,' he said.
