Laura Dern Addresses ‘Inappropriate’ Age Gap With Jurassic Park Co-Star Sam Neill

There are many times when some aspects of older movies are cast in a different light years after their release, and for Laura Dern, the age gap between her and co-star Sam Neill is one of them. In the original Jurassic Park, the characters of Ellie Sattler and Alan Grant have some kind of relationship together, but their off-screen actors had a 20-year age gap that never really came across in the movie. Only now has the realization of such a big difference in the actors’ ages dawned on stars who played those roles, with Laura Dern admitting that it seemed more inappropriate now by what is expected in today’s society.
