Nick Robinson wasn’t alive yet when Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park hit theaters in 1993.
But now the young actor is growing up in a big way, starring in Jurassic World.
He’s also becoming more familiar with the magic behind film making; or at least, the technological tricks used for special effects.
For one, Robinson never squared off with a Jurassic co-star; instead his scaly counterparts were tennis balls or lightbulbs attached to sticks.
During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Robinson said, “but it was really helpful that we had beautiful locations.”
