Ron Howard – director, screenwriter and actor all rolled into one – told People magazine why he didn't want his eldest daughter Bryce Dallas Howard to start acting in films at a young age.
Ron's own acting career began when, at the age of 18 months, he “played” in the western “Border Woman.” Howard spent his subsequent childhood and youth starring in numerous TV series and films.
According to Ron, child actors can find a lot of positive things for themselves in the film industry, but it is a real minefield. Therefore, Howard, who did not want his children’s achievements to be compared with his success, tried in every possible way to protect them from increased attention.
