Watch ‘Jurassic Park’ Star Ariana Richards Recreate Famous Green Jello Scene 30 Years Later

Thirty years after “Jurassic Park” invited audiences into a world filled with real – and scary – dinosaurs, the cast is celebrating the anniversary in a special way.

In a TikTok, actress Ariana Richards recreated her famous scene from Green Jello where she nervously holds the spoon filled with the jiggly dessert as a dinosaur approaches.

The video features the then 13-year-old Richards as Dr John Hammond’s (Richard Attenborough) granddaughter, Lex Murphy, with the now 43-year-old actor seen below.

“A duo 30 years in the making,” reads the TikTok caption of the official “Jurrasic World” profile.

“This is the most iconic scene from the Jurassic Park movies,” one person commented on the video, while another person added, “So cool to see her recreate this scene.”

“Still awesome one of the best moments in Jurassic Park,” wrote another.

Directed by Steven Spielberg, “Jurassic Park” was released on June 11, 1993. Besides Attenborough and Richards, the film also starred Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill.

In a 2013 interview for Entertainment Weekly, Richards recalled auditioning for the sci-fi film.

“I was called into a casting office, and they just wanted me to scream. I found out later that Steven had been watching a few girls on tape that day, and I was the only one who woke up his wife. asleep from the couch,” she recalled. “And she came running down the hall to see if the kids were okay.”

The scream helped her for another memorable scene. The actor recalled when she and her on-screen brother, Tim Murphy played by Joseph Mazzello, were being chased by velociraptors.

“There’s this part where I’m supposed to run to the freezer and save my brother from the raptor. We had done a take and Steven came up to me and was able to let me know, ‘OK, Ariana, I want you to really let loose for this,'” she said. “So I did. I really went crazy, completely hysterical. And that’s the shot he used.

Richards then made a guest appearance in the 1997 sequel “The Lost World: Jurassic Park.” In 2015, a new “Jurassic World” trilogy was made. Neill and Dern appeared in the third film, “Jurassic World Dominion,” released in 2022. Goldblum also appeared in the last, as well as the 2018 sequel “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.”
