While many movie-goers are looking forward to watching "Jurassic World" this weekend, someone from Bryce Dallas Howard's family may not be keen about waiting in line for the tickets. The movie star recently told People Magazine that her three-year-old daughter, Beatrice Jean, was "terrified" to learn mommy was at work with dinosaurs.
"I thought she was going to be like, 'Oh!' But she looked terrified," said Howard in the People interview. "And then almost every single night since then, she has asked me if a dinosaur is going to come into her room. So it's going to be a while before my daughter sees the film," the actress further said.
Her other child, eight-year-old Theo, however, may have a chance to watch mommy in the summer flick. However, Bryce revealed that the film will have to be husband-approved first. "My husband needs to see the movie and we'll talk about it, and then we'll figure out when the right time is for him to see the film because he's 8 years old," she shared. The actress is married to actor Seth Gabel since 2006.
The check and balance they do as parents may seem surprising for some especially since growing up in Hollywood, Bryce, the daughter of actor and film director Ron Howard, has been exposed to the movie industry early on. However, she said in another interview with the New Zealand Herald that she had to beg her parents to let her watch "Jurassic Park," the first movie of the franchise, which came out in the '90s. "They weren't sure how scary it was," Bryce revealed.
"I don't think anybody expected to see a dinosaur looking like that in a film. I remember distinctly, I had this emotionally overwhelmed reaction where it felt like my brain couldn't process what I was seeing," she recalled her "Jurassic Park" experience.
In the latest version of the movie, Bryce plays the executive who has to make sure that the theme park, Jurassic World, constantly receives visitors. "What I admired so much about this character is that she is not the villain, but she has the dynamism and the complexities and the layered pathologies of a good person making decisions that are based on making a profit rather that what is important for the greater good," the actress said in the Herald report.
