'Jurassic World' Movie Cast: Ty Simpkins Wants It to Be Real

Jurassic World

One of the youngest stars of the upcoming movie "Jurassic World" Ty Simpkins is pretty adorable. During the press rounds for the movie, the young actor gushed how he hoped that the dinosaur park is actually real, since he would work there in a heartbeat.

"I would work there. I mean, get paid to work with dinosaurs all day. What more could you work for, right?" he told Cinema BlendHe is definitely taking a cue from the character lead actor Chris Pratt is portraying - Owen Grady, who is kind of like the park's dinosaur whisperer.

"I would probably work at the T-Rex, and I would probably be a park ranger so I could, you know, go all around the park to visit every dinosaur," added Simpkins.

The young kid has nothing but praises for his co-star Pratt, whom he described to be just as awesome as Robert Downey Jr. Simpkins and Downey have worked together in an Iron Man film. As for Pratt, the actor whose star is definitely on the rise said that he did a lot of study and preparation for his role as Grady.

"I  thought first of all, who would this guy be? Because when Colin first pitched me the idea, I was all over the place in how would I bring it. I was like, 'Oh, so he's like the Crocodile Hunter? Should I do like an Australian accent?" he shared with Screen Rant.

Pratt said that he and director Colin Trevorrow both wanted Grady to be as real as possible, no matter who the character might be, so that viewers will feel a kinship with him and his relationship with the dinosaurs. It's "a tough thing to try to accomplish, especially when a dinosaur is a CG character. It's an animated character," said Pratt. So he did extensive research and even hung out with some amazing animal trainers.

Comparing Grady with another popular character he portrayed, Star-Lord in "Guardians of the Galaxy," Pratt said that the two characters are completely different despite being looked up to as leaders. "I do feel like this is a different character. I approached it as being and always saw it as a character who is just different from Peter Quill. A huge part of that was just our director's vision," he said.

Pratt likes to have fun with his characters, and so he does that with Grady as well, but it's mostly when he is verbally sparring with Claire Dearing (the character played by Bryce Dallas Howard).

"But for the most part, it was deadly serious," he said. "There was a bit of darkness. This is a guy who's been through something."
