Read our privacy policy Sam Neill has recalled his horror at his 11-year-old son farting during the London premiere of Jurassic Park while in the presence of British royalty. Neill explained that he and his son Tim were sat beside Princess Diana when suddenly, “about the time the T-Rex turns up, Tim started to fart”. “I am going to be subliminally blamed for my son’s crimes, and I don’t think she’ll talk to me afterwards.” Fortunately, Neill said the late royal was “well brought up” and didn’t mention it. I’ve heard him tell that a couple of times, and it’s just amazing the lengths that he will go to still blame the boy.” The trio, who famously appeared in the 1993 original, reprise their roles in the latest of the spin-off Jurassic World films led by Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, Dominion.
