Pterodactyls are attacking and you only have seconds to run! Quick, what do you grab? One innocent parker in the blockbuster smash hit Jurassic World had his priorities in check. 

In a memorable scene from the film in which the deadly flying dinosaurs attack a large crowd, one man is spotted jumping up from his chair, grabbing two margaritas, and rushing to safety. Though it was a split-second shot, many of the millions of viewers were quick to call out the “heroic” moment on Twitter. (A cartoon reenactment has been thankfully posted on Tumblr for those who haven’t seen the movie yet.)

It turns out that the double-fisting margarita champ is none other than “Margaritaville” singer Jimmy Buffett! Buffett, who walked the red carpet at the June 9 Hollywood premiere of Jurassic World and later performed at the afterparty with star Chris Pratt, wore a bright orange shirt for his cameo. 

“Official bartender at the JURASSIC WORLD Margaritaville, Isla Nublar! #FlashbackFriday @JurassicPark @Margaritaville,” producer Frank Marshall captioned a Twitter photo of the singer in costume.

Jurassic World even had an official Margaritaville store, you know, in case parents need a break from the Triceratops petting zoo. 

“Look for @jimmybuffett and Margaritaville in @JurassicPark in theaters tomorrow!” the official Margaritaville account tweeted along with a photo of Buffett. 

Jurassic World hit theaters on Friday, June 12, and quickly became the largest global box office opening in history. And star Pratt has confirmed that he’s signed on for a sequel. Perhaps he could team up with Buffett and sit out the next dino attack on a beach somewhere…sipping a lime marg and eating a cheeseburger in paradise? Just a thought.
