Jeff Goldblum expressed his admiration for Scarlett Johansson to EW, praising her as a great fit for the franchise. He playfully suggested he might deserve some credit for her strong performances, recalling that he played her father in the 1998 film The Horse Whisperer when she was just twelve years old. In that movie, he played Robert MacLean, the father of Johansson’s character, Grace, who was injured in a horse-riding accident. While they haven’t acted together since, Goldblum fondly remembers their early work and is happy they’re both now part of the Jurassic series.
