Sir Sam Neill dug into his personal prop archive to find the size 44 Timberland boots he wore as Dr. Alan Grant in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 classic Jurassic Park up for auction through Propstore’s Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction on June 28.
The 75-year-old Irish-born Kiwi “ran for miles” in the ‘Lot #261’ bootsestimated to fetch between $6K and $12K with a starting bid of $3K.
These boots are made for kicking dinosaurs, in the words of the old song. And indeed they did, in the first Jurassic Park,” Sam (née Nigel) said in a statement on Wednesday.
“Most importantly, all proceeds will be used to support refugee children through the vital and incredible work of UNICEF UK.”
The Sam Neill Collection also includes the hat, jacket and shirt Neill wore when he played the paleontologist for the third time in Colin Trevorrow’s 2022 action film Jurassic World Dominion.
