Bryce Dallas Howardis opening up about the pressures to lose weight while filming theJurassic Worldsaga.
In a recent interview withMetro, the 41-year-old actress revealed that in previous films she has been asked to lose weight for her role as Claire Dearing in theJurassicuniverse. But when the conversation about her body “came up again” while filming this year’sJurassic World Dominion,director Colin Trevorrow stepped in to shut down the demands.
“How do I say this . . . [I’ve] been asked to not use my natural body in cinema,” Howard admitted to the outlet. “And on the third movie, it was actually because there were so many women cast, it was something that Colin felt very strongly about in terms of protecting me . . . because the conversation came up again, ‘We need to ask Bryce to lose weight.’ "
“[Colin] was like, ‘There are lots of different kinds of women on this planet, and there are lots of different kinds of women in our film,’ " she continued. “I got to do so many stunts that wouldn’t have been possible if I had been dieting.”
