How old would you feel if we told you that Jurassic Park came out in theaters 22 years ago?! Pretty old right? Let that fact sink in. People who were born the year we first heard Jeff Goldblum say "must go faster, must go faster" can now drink alcohol legally. Yep. Who are the dinosaurs now? Zing!

Since Jurassic World debuts soon, we thought we'd take a stroll down Nostalgia Lane, which as at the crossroads of Memory Boulevard and Yesteryear Street. It's been 22 years since the Jurassic Park trilogy officially began, and we wanted to see how much the cast of Jurassic Park, The Lost World and Jurassic Park III has changed since they first ran from genetically bred dinosaurs.

We would show you what the dinosaurs look like years after their movies wrapped, but the publicists for the Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptors heard we were going to suggest that they had plastic surgery, so we chose not to include their photos. But trust us when we say that there is no way T-Rex's talons are real. Not a chance.

Anyway, take a look at some then and now photos of Sam Neil, Laura Dern, the original Jurassic Park kids and of course, eternally sexy stud Jeff Goldblum:
