Biografia

Daughter of actor-director Ron Howard and Cheryl Howard.

Performed her own stunts during the crane accident scene in Spider-Man 3 (2007), unaware that she was pregnant at the time of filming.

During a July 2019 interview, Jessica Chastain said that the public propensity to confuse her with Bryce Dallas Howard is so widespread that it even once happened to Bryce's father, Ron Howard. Chastain said that she once saw Ron in an Apple store and he (very) momentarily mistook her for his daughter.

Has never consumed alcohol and does not intend to.

Her godfather is Henry Winkler, who co-starred on Happy Days (1974) with her father, Ron Howard.

I've always had the perspective that roles come into my life when I need them most and sort of teach me lessons. The same can be true of films, films are released into society to aid in a lesson, inspire people, comfort people.

Right now as an artist, what I want to do is be a part of works that are unignorable. I couldn't be less interested in how people receive it, honestly. As long as it's unignorable.

I feel like I almost didn't grow up in the business, because my parents worked so hard at sheltering us from that. I was raised in Connecticut. And I honestly wasn't aware that my dad was a celebrity until I moved to Los Angeles a year ago.

I've learned to think in terms of having a long career. Actors can have very long careers that last until the day we die, but there will be moments when you'll feel like you're a failure or when you're disappointed in yourself. I've learned from my dad that those feelings don't mean you should stop what you're doing. They mean you should try even harder; you should push even further. Perhaps because of failure, you're getting even closer to your ultimate goal.

On her famous dad: "My dad's more three-dimensional than Opie Taylor or Richie Cunningham. He even has a temper! He's a real person. But some people are disappointed by that."
