Encountering a favorite Hollywood star is always a thrill, especially when it happens right in your local area. Recently, Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park in North Devon became the unexpected backdrop to such a moment after it welcomed renowned actor and author Stanley Tucci along with his wife, English literary agent Felicity Blunt, and their children.
Combe Martin Wildlife and Dinosaur Park is well-loved by families and tourists alike, offering an engaging mix of real wild animals—from Grey and Hudson Bay Wolves to Sea Lions, Primates, and Penguins—and a showcase of life-sized animatronic dinosaurs, including a striking full-scale T-Rex. This unique combination makes it a favorite spot for visitors from across the UK and around the world.
Tucci and Blunt, a highly regarded couple who met at the wedding of Felicity’s sister, actress Emily Blunt, and John Krasinski in 2010, took time during their UK trip to enjoy the park. Sharing their experience on TikTok, they humorously captured the essence of a typical British summer—wet and chilly—while exploring the dinosaur exhibits with the kids.
