It’s not just the dinosaurs that have evolved in the Jurassic World universe, turns out the humans have as well.
In a recent interview with the Sunday Times franchise star Sam Neill, 74, observed that at the time of the first film in 1993 no one batted an eye at the age difference between he and onscreen love interest Laura Dern, who is now 55. The 20-year gap “at the time was a completely appropriate age difference for a leading man and lady,” said Neill. His a-ha moment came years later.
“I opened a magazine and there was an article called ‘Old Geezers and Gals,'” he remembered. It included “people like Harrison Ford and Sean Connery acting with much younger people. And there I was, on the list. I thought, ‘Come on. It can’t be true.'” And then the actor says he realized, “I am 20 years older than Laura!
