Scarlett Johansson’s Jurassic World Costume Up for Charity Auction
Film fans have a rare chance to bid on authentic Jurassic World Rebirth props and costumes, including Scarlett Johansson’s screen-worn outfit, all in support of a global hunger relief initiative.
For those with a passion for cinema memorabilia, a unique opportunity has emerged. Scarlett Johansson, alongside her colleagues, is offering several original items from Jurassic World Rebirth to the public, with all proceeds directed towards the World Food Programme. Among the items available is the actual costume worn by Johansson’s character in the film.
Stars Rally for a Worthy Cause
In a recently released video, Johansson addressed viewers, stating,
“Hi everyone, we are the cast of ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ and we are excited to come together to support the World Food Program, the leading hunger-fighting organization on Earth.”
Her co-star Jonathan Bailey explained that fans would have the chance to bid on
“exclusive costumes and props”
used during filming. Audrian Miranda, who portrayed the youngest Delgado, emphasised the authenticity of the items, noting they are
“not replicas, not ‘We found this in the storage closet’. Real, one-of-a-kind pieces that will never be released to the public.”
Luna Blaise, Bechir Sylvain, and Mahershala Ali also appeared in the announcement, encouraging participation in the auction.
Coveted Collectables and Bidding Details
The outfit worn by Johansson’s character, Zora Bennett, has become a sought-after item for collectors. According to the auction listing,
“This authentic piece of apparel, verified by a trusted authenticator, serves as a remarkable collector’s item for any film enthusiast or admirer of Scarlett Johansson’s illustrious career.”
The starting estimate for the costume was $1,000, with the highest bid reaching $1,850 as of 16 December. Other items up for grabs include a dinosaur fetus prop, currently attracting a top bid of $3,000, and Bechir Sylvain’s wardrobe, with the leading offer at $375. The auction for Johansson’s costume closes at 4:19 PM EST on 18 December, followed by Sylvain’s at 4:21 PM and the prop at 4:23 PM.
Johansson’s Ongoing Philanthropy
Johansson is recognised as the world’s highest-grossing actor, with a net worth of $165 million and the distinction of being the highest-paid actress in 2019. Jurassic World Rebirth alone grossed $868 million at the box office. Despite her commercial success, Johansson has consistently supported charitable causes. She has contributed to 30 charities and 23 causes, including time spent in Kenya as a former Oxfam ambassador, and visits to India and Sri Lanka to engage in education, healthcare, and domestic violence initiatives. She has also worked with victims of Hurricane Katrina and travelled to Rwanda to raise awareness about AIDS, spending several days at clinics. Her support extends to organisations such as Aid Still Required, Feeding America, Keep A Child Alive, Wish Upon A Hero Foundation, and the Los Angeles LGBT Centre.
Those wishing to take part in the auction and support the World Food Programme have until the specified closing times to place their bids. Jurassic World Rebirth is available to stream on Peacock.
