Ron Howard’s daughter reveals shocking details about ‘messed up’ childhood
Jun 9, 2025
Bryce Dallas Howard knows she didn’t have a normal childhood.
The “Jurassic World” actress, 44, recalled the unusual interests she had while growing up as filmmaker Ron Howard’s daughter.
“I was such a messed up kid – I would walk around the Disney lot reading about euthanasia,” Bryce said in an interview with The Independent published Saturday.
“But I also wasn’t dark,” she added. “There was just a sort of intensity to my feelings and the stories I was curious about.”
Bryce also revealed that she “had a lot of difficulties learning and communicating” as a kid.
“I was always very happy and smiley, but not extremely verbal,” she explained. “It was unclear what intelligence was there, and how much I was really processing.”
Bryce shared that her dad Ron, 71, and mom Cheryl took her to a psychologist, who later told the couple about the meetings.
“Can we talk about the dead babies? Because Bryce talks a lot about dead babies,” Bryce recalled the therapist saying, before the star laughed.
The “Rocketman” actress also told the outlet that she grew up on her dad’s film sets, but was always told to avoid the actors to not disturb them. So, she spent time with the camera department, the first assistant directors and the sound guys and learned about the movie-making process.
Bryce said that it wasn’t until her high school years that she entertained the idea of becoming an actor.
