Born October 2, 1986, Camilla Belle was ten years old during the filming of “Jurassic Park 2”, the time for a memorable introduction. Find out what is happening to the actress today.
Camilla Belle’s first steps in Jurassic Park 2
Despite a first film appearance in The little Princess (1995) by Alfonso Cuarón, it’s good with The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997) that Camilla Belle stood out at the age of ten. Indeed, she is at the center of a rather memorable introductory scene. It is she who plays the young Cathy Bowman, present on the island of Isla Sorna with her parents. The family cruise then turns into a disaster when the child crosses the path of Compsognathus. Small dinosaurs which may seem harmless, but which in numbers are very dangerous. And they do not intend to settle for Cathy’s sandwich for their snack …
A rather traumatic scene. Especially since we will never really know what became of the character afterwards. The movie only saying that she was injured but that she is fine. Regarding Camilla Belle, after this experience, she continued to appear on the sets alongside prestigious castings. In 1998 for example, she played Sandra Bullock young in the film The Witchers, also worn by Nicole Kidman. Then the years went by, and after being the head of the Disney Channel TV movie, Girls of the Ocean (2000), it was found in 2006 in Terror on the line, remake of the 1979 film by Fred Walton. Then 20 years old, Camilla Belle played there a babysitter harassed by a man on the phone.
Major films of the 2000s
The end of the 2000s could have allowed the actress to take a step forward. Because besides Terror on the line, we find it in The Quiet (2008) alongside Elisha Cuthbert, and especially in the film 10,000 (2008) from Roland emmerich. Although the latter was a good success at the global box office (almost $ 270 million), the actress will not find a truly memorable role afterwards. Even if it turns in fifteen films in ten years, the majority of the feature films in question will have limited releases. Most of them are unpublished in France.
Lately, we were still able to see her for two episodes in the series Dollface on Disney +. A secondary role but which allows to find it on the screen. Finally leaving aside this exercise, Camilla Belle is also passed behind the camera to shoot a segment of the horror film Phobias. A first experience as a director which could lead to others.
Next to the shootings
In the meantime, besides being the spokesperson for the association Kids with a Cause, which aims to help underprivileged children, Camilla Belle remains very present on social networks and in particular Instagram where she posts above all images of her daily life.
Side private life, she shared her life with the American singer Joe Jonas after having turned in the clip of Lovebug of the Jonas Brothers. A relationship that will not last very long (between 2008 and 2009) but which will have inspired Taylor Swift, ex-girlfriend of Joe Jonas, the song Better Than Revenge. Since then, she has remained particularly discreet about her private life.
