Jane Goodall‘s path to becoming the world’s foremost expert on chimpanzees started with one of the most relatable experiences of all time: having a crush on a fictional character. While promoting her new Apple TV+ series “Jane,” Goodall stopped by “The Kelly Clarkson Show” Tuesday and spilled on what led her down her groundbreaking path.

“I read ‘Tarzan of the Apes’ and fell in love with him,” Goodall said. “And I was very jealous. He married the wrong Jane.”

That book planted the seed of Goodall’s dream to eventually go to Africa and to live and write among animals. According to the renowned anthropologist, “everybody” laughed at her dreams except for her mother.
