Ron Howard recently shed light on the moment he was in the audience while watching his daughter - actor Bryce Dallas Howard - perform nude. The renowned Hollywood director recently shared a light-hearted yet shocking experience of witnessing his daughter perform in her birthday suit in an experimental college play, describing the instance as a "complete assault" on his psyche. During an episode of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFpp1nvFwFc&t=49s&ab_channel=GrahamBensinger">In Depth</a> with Graham Bensinger, the esteemed Oscar-winning director, 69, recalled the unexpected scenario of seeing Bryce - who has gone on to become one of Hollywood's top leading ladies - in a college play, unaware that the actors would be unclothed for the majority of the performance. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263230241" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/09/GettyImages-1469352639.jpg" alt="Bryce Dallas Howard and her father Ron Howard.

And I was sitting next to my dad — I wasn't sure what he would think." Ron's father, however, demonstrated a different perspective - highlighting the courage involved, saying: "That’s what college is all about. She's never going to be afraid onstage again." When questioned about his initial hesitations to attend the performance, Ron humorously stated, "No, because first of all, I knew there was nudity. I didn't realize it was full-body, nonstop. It was a complete assault on a father's psyche." He went on to commend the quality and boldness of the performance. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263230240" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/09/GettyImages-635011498.jpg" alt="Bryce Dallas Howard and her father Ron Howard.

The Jurassic World star revealed in an interview with the Metro that <a href="https://vt.co/entertainment/bryce-dallas-howard-reveals-she-was-asked-to-lose-weight-for-third-jurassic-world-movie">movie bosses wanted her to lose weight for her role</a> in the franchise's third installment. Howard, who portrays Dinosaur Protection Group leader Claire Dearing in the trilogy, claimed that it was director Colin Trevorrow who leaped to her defense and rejected these demands from unidentified film executives. <img class="size-full wp-image-1263230243" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/09/GettyImages-1401462610.jpg" alt="" width="683" height="1024" />[[imagecaption|| Bryce Dallas Howard says movie bosses wanted her to lose weight.

"So I'm really thrilled [at] all the action I got to do, and I got to do it with my body, she was at her maximum strength, and I hope it is just yet another indication of what's possible," Howard proudly stated. <h6>Featured image credit: Chris Jackson / Getty</h6>
