Scarlett Johansson on 'Jurassic World: Rebirth' role: 'A dream come true'

For Scarlett Johansson, getting the role of Zora Bennett in "Jurassic World: Rebirth" was a dream come true. 

According to Lyn Ching's report in "24 Oras" Thursday, the Hollywood actress called her husband, Colin Jost, the moment she found out she got the role. 

"I called my husband Colin [Jost] and was like, 'I’m in Jurassic!' 'cause he knows how meaningful it was and he’s still so excited," she said. 

"Even if you feel kind of embarrassed to share your enthusiasm, you should because it can result in a dream come true," she added. 

It is apparent that Scarlett's a huge fan of the franchise. In fact, she slept in a Jurassic tent for a year in her childhood. 

"I think my sister made me get rid of it after a year because this thing takes up the entire room," she shared. "I do a lot of pillow forts, I have a four-year-old and he’s very into pillow forts, so I do a lot of construction with those." 

In "Jurassic World: Rebirth," Scarlett plays the role of covert operations expert Zora, a character that sounds nothing short of cool.  She added, however, that she can go from cool to embarrassing mom in the eyes of her 11-year-old daughter. 

"I’d like to be thought of as the coolest mom. I have an 11-year-old daughter, so she goes in between thinking I'm the coolest mom and also the most embarrassing mom, which I think is healthy," she shared. 

Scarlett stars in the movie alongside Jonathan Bailey (paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis) and Mahershala Ali (Duncan Kincaid). 

Directed by Gareth Edwards, "Jurassic World: Rebirth" follows a team of specialists that embarks on an expedition to a forbidden island, home to a research facility for the original "Jurassic Park".

The movie will premiere on July 2.
