8 Dumb Movie Fan Theories That People Actually Believe

3. Jurassic World's Owen Grady Is The Chubby Kid From Jurassic Park

The Theory: This idea gained a lot of momentum after Jurassic World came out. The idea is that Chris Pratt€™s burly raptor trainer in the film is the grown up version of the tubby kid from Jurassic Park. In Jurassic Park the kid claims raptors aren€™t very scary, until Dr. Grant explains the raptor€™s vicious hunting methods and frightens the poor kid witless. Grant ends his speech advising the boy to €œshow a little respect.€

Why It's Dumb: Apparently that kid got in really good shape, became a Navy Seal and ended up training raptors. The evidence for this argument is that Pratt is the right age, his character knows all about pack hunting and he states his relationship with the raptors isn€™t about control, but €œrespect.€ This "evidence" is thin at best, as Pratt would surely have mentioned meeting Grant at some point if the filmmakers intended to link the two.

Plus that kid would most likely want to avoid dinosaurs for the rest of his life.
