Ron Howard on Why He Wouldn’t Let His Daughter Bryce Dallas Howard Be a Child Actor: "…It’s Fraught With Landmines.”

Ron, who was a child star himself, said working in Hollywood at a young age is "fraught with landmines."

The director-writer-actor recently told People magazine that he forbade Bryce from acting at a young age after having to navigate Hollywood as a child himself. The Arrested Development actor-producer added that he also protected his children from the spotlight because he didn’t want them to be compared to his career if they followed a similar path. Last month, Bryce shared with People that she would have liked to have launched her acting career when she was younger, but that her parents Ron and Cheryl Howard were against it.
