Jeff Goldblum has recalled sitting and eating popcorn with Diana, Princess of Wales at a special screening of the first Jurassic Park film almost 30 years ago.

The Hollywood star said Diana had been a "spectacular lady" and they had been seated next to one another at the showing at London's Natural History Museum.

Goldblum was joined by fellow cast member Laura Dern at the global premiere of the final instalment of the franchise, Jurassic World: Dominion, on Monday in Los Angeles.

Recalling the premiere of Jurassic Park, he told Entertainment Tonight: "I’m remembering London.

"We showed it to, speaking of the Jubilee, the Platinum Jubilee, we showed it to Princess Diana and we had a kind of a royal screening.

"Sam Neil was here, Princess Diana was here, you know, and we showed them the movie."

"I was standing there next to Diana… sitting, with popcorn.

He added: "I was very much a gentleman and she was a spectacular lady."

Jurassic World: Dominion is released in cinemas on Friday June 10.
