Rupert Friend missed daughter’s birth filming ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’

Rupert Friend attended an important stage of the family from afar during the shooting Jurassic World Rebirth.

Appearing on the Today Monday show, the 43 -year -old Country The old one shared the emotional details of the welcome of his first child with his wife Aimé Mullins – a little girl whom they nicknamed “The Jurassic Baby”. And how did she win this adorable nickname? It turns out that his father worked hard on the last episode of Jurassic Franchise when she finally entered the world.

“I had the plane in return [to New York] To visit my wife and surprise her, “Recalls Amie.” came to London the next day and I am hoisted on a thread, at a hundred feet in the air, blowing a blow. The crew begins to say: “Go back, go down it.” »»

Wondering what was the problem, a friend was said that his wife was on the phone.

“I say to myself,” darling, I’m a little busy “,” said the actor laughing. But once he was back on the ground, the seriousness of the situation has become clear. “My wife’s waters had broken. So it was a crazy race to get to the last seat of the last plane outside England to return to the United States to be there for birth – which I missed a lot.”

Although he cannot be there in person, a friend could at least participate virtually at the time.

“I saw it on FaceTime at the airport, crying with all the aerial hostesses that push me champagne,” he said. “And almost missed the flight.”

Friend noted that while his wife gave birth, his flight was about to leave – which means that he had to choose between climbing the plane and losing the connection or missing the flight to look at the birth of his daughter. Fortunately, fate intervened.

“This wonderful – I will never forget it – the sound has gone through the airport that said:” Ding, Dong. Your flight is delayed “” said Friend. “It was then they said,” You have a little girl. “”

“So it’s like Renaissance Or a real birth, “joked the Dylan Dreyer anchor.

“She’s always going to be a Dino baby,” added a friend.
