Bryce Dallas Howard is opening up about her childhood, revealing some unique interests that she had growing up. In an interview with U.K. newspaper The Independent, the 44-year-old actress shared that she struggled with learning and communication as a child, leading her parents Cheryl Howard and director Ron Howard to seek help from a psychologist. Bryce recalled the therapist asking her parents about her fascination with topics like dead babies, showcasing her intense curiosity and unique interests.
Reflecting on her childhood, Bryce described herself as a “messed up kid” with a penchant for reading about euthanasia while walking around the Disney lot. Despite her unusual interests, she maintained a happy demeanor and was not dark in nature. Following in her father’s footsteps, Bryce has made a name for herself in the film industry with roles in movies like Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and the upcoming Prime Video film Deep Cover. Despite her fame, Bryce prefers to live a normal life and enjoys the anonymity that comes with it.
Married to husband Seth Gabel since 2006, Bryce is a mother to son Theodore Norman and daughter Beatrice Jean. In 2019, the family made a move from California to New York after falling in love with a stone house they saw while in upstate New York for her brother’s wedding. The house, which was not initially for sale, ended up becoming their new home, providing a perfect backdrop for their family life.
Bryce’s journey from a curious child with unique interests to a successful actress and family woman showcases her resilience and ability to navigate life’s challenges. Her story is a testament to the power of curiosity, perseverance, and embracing one’s individuality.
