Bryce Dallas Howard starred as Claire Dearing in the Jurassic World films alongside Chris Pratt. In an interview, she now revealed what she had to experience as a woman during the shooting.
Actress Bryce Dallas Howard was part of the main cast for the “Jurassic World” series, playing the brave Claire Dearing. She convinced on the big screen and inspired alongside Chris Pratt, who played Owen Grady in the dinosaur franchise. But the films not only helped her to international success: she had to take criticism behind the scenes about her weight.
In an interview with “Metro”, the 41-year-old was asked what impact her film character would have on female roles in Hollywood action films. To which she replied that she was “asked not to use my natural body in the cinema”. However, she had her back – director Colin Trevorrow stood by her at the time: “In fact, with the third film, there were so many women in the cast that Colin felt very strong to protect me.” Previously, phrases like “We have to ask Bryce to lose weight” were said by the actress.
The director pointed out that there are “many different types of women on this planet” and that they should also be seen in the film. Howard was enthusiastic about this intervention: “I was able to do so many stunts that would not have been possible if I had been on a diet.”
