Anyone with a career as successful and celebrated as Laura Dern would probably have an issue with being known as “the girl in the Taylor Swift video,” but not the Jurassic Park actress, who welcomed the change.
In an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday to promote her upcoming film The Son, Dern shared the uncanny story of when, while walking right by a Jurassic Park group tour in Hawaii, she was recognized by one girl as the evil stepmother from Swift’s “Bejeweled” music video. Dern co-starred in the video — which Swift also directed — alongside the singer as House Wench Taylor and the three Haim sisters as her evil daughters in a re-imagining of the Cinderella classic.
