As Jurassic Park marks its 30th anniversary, fans of the film are reminded of the passage of time by the grown-up appearance of Ariana Richards, who portrayed the character of Lex Murphy at the age of 13. The now 43-year-old actress played the role of John Hammond's (played by Richard Attenborough) granddaughter in the movie.

In celebration of the momentous anniversary, Ariana collaborated with Jurassic World on TikTok to reenact her character's iconic scene. In the film, as Lex and her younger brother Tim Murphy (played by Joseph Mazzello) believe they have evaded a Velociraptor encounter, they find themselves seeking refuge in the park's kitchen. Amidst a tempting array of delectable desserts, the siblings soon discover they are not alone in this suspenseful moment.

Captivating TikTok viewers, Ariana reenacted a nerve-wracking moment as Lex, holding a spoonful of green jelly that quivered in anticipation of the approaching Velociraptor. The actress skillfully portrayed her character's fear, showcasing her talent for evoking suspense. The accompanying caption on the TikTok post aptly read, "A duet 30 years in the making."

The throwback video garnered immense love from fans, some of whom were taken aback by the realization of how long ago the film was released. One fan commented, "In just a few days, Jurassic Park will be celebrating its 30th anniversary," while another replied, "Wait, what? No way, but yes, it's true. Wow, time flies. I feel old now."
