Bryce Dallas Howard says she was “sort of delighted” by the insulting behavior of the director “Manderlay”
Bryce Dallas Howard knows his way around Hollywood: his father, actor and director Ron Howard, helped the doors. Howard recognized the hyper -priviégié world that she grew up in an interview with The Times on Sunday – and also admitted that she was “sort of delighted” by an abusive behavior that she suffered in the hands of Danish director Lars von Trier.
Howard admitted that the director, with whom she worked on “Manderlay” of 2005, was trying to evoke anger on her part through tactics that are not exactly great. As soon as she arrived on the set, said Howard, she was told to go to the Von Trier office.
“He started to insult me:” Your father is a terrible filmmaker. I went: “Lars, what are you trying to see? And he said, “Your angry face. He then threw a glass of water on his face. “So I threw a glass of water on her face. He said, “Why did you do that?” And got up and left.
(The director was more seriously accused of mistreatment by the Icelandic singer Bjork. In a series of supposed Facebook publications, Bjork said that she had been “punished” by an unnamed director after refusing her sexual openings. Von Trier is the only director with which Bjork worked on a set.)
Howard also said that she had never seen her education as a disadvantage in terms of her own career aspirations.
“At the start of my career, people asked -and I have always been so shocked by that -” Do you think it was a drawback? ” And I said to myself, “disadvantage?” When you are an actor, you must capture the attention of a casting director or a director, but when you are someone who is linked to someone else, there is an inherent curiosity there. “”
Howard added that not only was she born in the privilege, but her father is the son of the director, writer and actor Rance Howard and actress Jean Speegle Howard. “So I was able to have access in a way that, even if you were born there, most people would not do it,” she admitted.
These days, Howard also added the director to his own titles, because she led two episodes of “The Mandalorian” and a handful of documentaries, but she insisted that she did not want to leave the game “as my father did.
