Jurassic Park: Laura Dern stuns fans by revealing her age when it was filmed

When Jurassic Park was released in 1993, all adults looked pretty much the same age to us. But in an interview with The Sunday Times over the weekend, stars of the film Laura Dern and Sam Neill have reflected on what was apparently a 20 year age gap between them when they made the movie.

The stars have shared that it didn't really occur to them it wasn’t "completely appropriate" until time had passed. Dern played palaeobotanist Dr Ellie Sattler and Sam Neill played the character of palaeontologist Dr Alan Grant as they came to assess a new theme park with some surprising living attractions.

And what some fans were surprised to learn was that Dern was only the "tender age" of 23 at the time whereas her co-star Sam, born in 1947, was in his early 40s.
