‘Jurassic World’: Bryce Dallas Howard reveals he was asked to lose weight

Bryce Dallas Howard continues to hide the pitfalls she encountered while being part of the “Jurassic World” trilogy as Claire Dearing. A while ago, he revealed the pay gap between her and Chris Pratt, her co-star, and in a recent interview with Metro, he revealed that also ‘Jurassic World: Dominion’ couldn’t show off his “natural body” because they were always asking him to lose weight.

Here’s how the actress herself explains: “What has this third film allowed me, how I say it, how I say it, how I say it … They asked me not to use my natural body in movies. In the third film it was because there were so many women in the cast that it was something that Colin (Trevorrow) felt he had to protect me, because the conversation repeated: ‘we have to ask Bryce to lose weight'”. Howard throws a cloak to the film’s director, but also explains that he wouldn’t be able to shoot it if they put him on a diet: “Colin said, ‘There are many types of women on this planet and there are many types of women in our film.’ I had to shoot so many action scenes that wouldn’t have been possible if I had been on a diet. Do, and I was able to do it with my body, with maximum strength, and I hope this is another indication of what is possible “.

Running around with female muscles

DeWanda Wise, who joined the saga in the third film as Kayla Watts, also has notes on female character requests: “It’s always something. There was a lot of resistance to whether Kayla had muscle, what it meant to be a woman or to look like a woman. Each side counts, it is relentless and impossible”to which Bryce Dallas Howard adds: “We are many! In fact we are half the population! And in this film there are more women than men. They are numbers and scenarios still unusual at this point, so normalizing it …”. Wise appreciates that his and Laura Dern’s characters are “Heroines who aren’t perfect. There’s a story there, the feeling that you can be heroic even if you don’t feel heroic. I’m interested in the future of action and blockbusters that allow women to be fully the human beings that we are. “.

As we said at the beginning, it is not the first time that Bryce Dallas Howard denounces unfair situations in the dinosaur franchise. At the time it was rumored that Chris Pratt had received 10 million dollars for “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom” and she had received 8 million, but the actress herself stated in another interview that she was “much less”. In this case he also wanted to thank his co-star because, despite the contracts for the films were armored, she interceded in the negotiations of other aspects related to the trilogy, such as salaries for merchandising or for work in the video game saga. , so that they loaded the same there.

The next film with Bryce Dallas Howard in front of the cameras will be ‘Argylle’, the adaptation of the character created by Elly Conway with Henry Cavill in the title role. and directed by Matthew Vaughn (“Kingsman”). Apple will handle the distribution. Behind the scenes, he will once again be part of the directing team for the third season of “The Mandalorian”.
