Jeff Goldblum is clearly in contention to be one of the internet's favorite boyfriends, and he went all in with this ASMR video for Vice News. ASMR uses soft noises – including speech – to soothe viewers, so Vice put together a 30-minute compilation of Goldblum purring into a microphone.

Oh. My. God.

Purring is the type of sound that's perfect for ASMR, which often includes brushing hair or scratching a surface. Many YouTubers quietly narrate their motions to add to the effect, which can give viewers a tingling sensation.

"To all you chill seekers, here comes some stimulation that might induce your chills," Goldblum says in the video introduction. AND THEN HE PURRS. FOR 30 MINUTES. Okay, not quite – the video is clearly a loop/Boomerang effect and Goldblum probably only purred for two seconds, but IT DOES THE TRICK.

Anyway, feel free to bump to this all day while getting chills at your desk, or crank up the volume and frighten the neighbors. Just make sure the tab is visible so you can take in Goldblum's devilish grin in all its glory as he knowingly trolls his audience.
