Chris Pratt Reveals Iconic Jurassic World Bungalow Destroyed in Hawaii Storms
In a surprising revelation, Hollywood superstar Chris Pratt has confirmed that the iconic bungalow belonging to his character Owen Grady in the 2015 blockbuster Jurassic World was completely destroyed during the recent severe storms that battered Hawaii. The actor shared this dramatic news during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, providing a firsthand account of the destruction caused by the extreme weather events.
Pratt's Personal Connection to the Destruction
Chris Pratt was looking at a production still from the film when he received a text message from his friend Jason Morgan, who lives on the ranch where the famous bungalow was located. "I just got a text from my friend who lives on this ranch, Jason Morgan, and a storm came in yesterday and this tree fell down on top of this (Owen's bungalow). That was destroyed yesterday," Pratt revealed with evident emotion. The actor emphasized the personal nature of this loss, as the location held significant memories from the filming of the Colin Trevorrow-directed sequel that revitalized the Jurassic Park franchise.
Jason Momoa's Harrowing Evacuation Experience
The destruction of the Jurassic World bungalow coincides with fellow actor Jason Momoa's frightening experience during the same storms. Momoa, known for his roles in Aquaman and Game of Thrones, was forced to flee O'ahu's North Shore with his family as Hawaii's Kona lows brought what meteorologists described as the worst flooding in two decades. "I got my family with me," Momoa shared in a social media Story. "We got out of the North Shore, a lot of people have been asking. Our power went off. We're safe for now, but there's a lot of people who weren't, so we're sending all our love."
Momoa added a stark warning about conditions on the North Shore: "The North Shore is pretty gnarly right now. So hopefully everyone's safe and getting out. Stay safe out there." His comments highlight the widespread impact of the storms beyond just property damage, affecting numerous residents and visitors across the Hawaiian islands.
Unprecedented Rainfall and Storm Impact
According to a comprehensive report released by the University of Hawaii, the storm system resulted in an astonishing 2 trillion gallons of rainfall across just 14 days. This extraordinary volume of precipitation overwhelmed infrastructure, caused widespread flooding, and led to significant property damage throughout the affected regions. The destruction of the Jurassic World bungalow represents just one example of the storm's devastating impact on both residential and culturally significant properties.
The Jurassic Franchise Legacy
The Jurassic Park franchise, later rebranded as Jurassic World, represents one of Hollywood's most enduring science fiction media franchises. Created by Michael Crichton, the series centers on disastrous attempts to create theme parks featuring cloned dinosaurs. The franchise began in 1990 when major production studios acquired the rights to Crichton's novel Jurassic Park before its publication. The book achieved tremendous success, as did Steven Spielberg's groundbreaking 1993 film adaptation.
Crichton's 1995 sequel novel, The Lost World, was followed by a 1997 film adaptation, also directed by Spielberg. Although Crichton did not write further sequels, Spielberg returned as executive producer for each subsequent film, beginning with Jurassic Park III. In 2015, a second trilogy of films launched with the fourth installment, Jurassic World, which proved financially successful and spawned two sequels: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World Dominion. The most recent installment, Jurassic World Rebirth, was theatrically released in 2025, continuing the franchise's remarkable longevity and cultural impact.
The destruction of the iconic bungalow from the 2015 film represents a tangible loss for both film history and the personal memories of those involved in its creation. As Hawaii continues to recover from the devastating storms, this incident serves as a poignant reminder of nature's power to impact even the most carefully constructed cinematic worlds.
