Ron Howard: Security threat led to abrupt move

[@NoThankYouReally]

Met Bryce Dallas Howard very briefly on a flight. I took note of her sitting behind me, but followed my general approach of "don't bother people you see on planes". Sort of forgot she was back there & watched Solo on the flight. When we were deplaning, I broke my rule and said, "tell your Dad he did a great job". She almost came out of her shoes, "Thank you!! I was watching you watch the whole flight to see how you were reacting!" and went on to tell me stories about being on the set. Really good energy, very normal, very cool. The only time I've ever said a word to someone famous or well known and she was a delight. Quitting while I'm ahead!

[@lseward21]

So nice of you to consider their feelings. So often we only think about our excitement and forget that they just want to live a life without constant interruptions from strangers.

Ron Howard is one of the few tv and movie treasure’s. Opie will 4 ever be my favorite childhood character.

[@debsylvester2012]

Ron Howard- you are correct- once you feel that vulnerability- it stays with you. I found it remains logical to remember safety first-and I mean always. I enjoy these interviews and appreciate your honesty. Thank you for your contributions to film and television. Keep going! ☮️

@Evin--This is the Calif. that Ron Howard wants. Why do you think Sane people are leaving?

[@bobkirsch2722]

I'm sorry. Can someone explain what happened to Ron and his family?;

[@Greg_Chase]

Anonymity is priceless. Once it is gone, you cannot buy it back for any price. Your only choice is to stay inside, move to a foreign country, wear a disguise when you go out, cut all ties with all but close family. At least the president gets the Secret Service - free security. Famous people have to pay for it. It's unfortunate that there are people out there with vastly different behavior boundaries than, say, 90% of the population - it is probably mental illness. Fame opens a lot of doors. Some good. Some bad. Anyone who seeks fame knows the ups and downs of it (hopefully). If you have a couple of large- breed protection-trained dogs, that might be the most affordable security you can have. Most of us would not want to be famous. When the 'has been' status commences and no money comes from past fame, the loonies are still out there, I'd wager. Imagine having to be concerned about going out in public - shopping, the grocery store, etc. No freaking thank you. Anonymity - you won't know it's such a great thing, until it's gone.

[@dawnreneegmail]

Totally agree, a radio broadcaster career is much safer

[@brekkoh]

SS isnt free, you and I are paying for it

[@michellegarry1872]

Yep, forever on your guard. A situation like that will change you forever. Look what happened to poor Sandra Bullock. I was unaware of all that happened to her until I just happened upon her story. Terrifying.

[@emwa3600]

The original version with Glenn Ford and seeing Donna Reed being beaten down by the pressure, hospitalized and carted off to the hospital, is in start contrast to Rene Russo's fight! behavior. And Leslie Nielsen make his major film debut as an Observer Reporter who's let inside the parents' house.

[@jimk5447]

Ransom phone scene between Gibson and Gary sinise is one of the most intense scenes in any movie imo.

[@commanderkeen3787]

The great irony of that film, and Hollywood in general, is that Gary Sinise is by literally all accounts a lovely person, and Gibson is.....well the less said the better 😂 But Sinise gets typecast as these horrible vicious characters while Gibson is usually the good guy hero

thank you for saying you don’t want to celebrate crime, so important!!!

[@bobsteel6916]

I am not a famous person but, I was targeted and stalked by a Christian U.M. Church in Oakdale, Pennsylvania. All these weird situations at home and work to the point of mental anxiety. I found out the truth when an insider of that church felt bad and told me the truth. This person knew things concerning this matter they could not have known unless they were privy to these situations. It was a relief but, still VERY CREEPY, and especially after I found out it was a relative that targeted me in the first place. These people do NOT like you to prosper and feel they deserve anything extra or all for that matter. They're trying to find people just like me to breed and form Christian communities, and if not they want you dead for you serve no purpose from their point of view. I wasn't doing anything that would be considered immoral than the next guy, and probably less. Their trying to connect with me was so twisted and weird I just cant relate to them they're like a CULT . Just know if you experience things as these that this is DOMESTIC TERRORISM and the Justice Department should be notified. Thank God for NO STATE RELIGION.

[@dragonwithagirltattoo598]

I’m sure it was really scary for you. Ron had money to hire security. Most of us don’t.

[@katiedotson704]

Mr. Steele, if a religion is involved you can forget about any state or federal law agency helping you. If you think I’m wrong, read “The Unbreakable Miss Lovely.” Our laws separating church and state are being chipped away at bit by bit. Watch out who you vote for. It’s more important than you may realize. There ate already people in office that want to replace our democracy with a theocracy.

[@tycox8704]

@@katiedotson704 I’m not a Christian, but I don’t see Christians making headlines for today’s dysfunctions. If you think an atheist government/society is a democracy, let me introduce you to China and Russia. We want a government/society that asks itself, “What would a more perfect being do?”

So he left LA for a gated community in Greenwich, CT. and became Vince McMahon's next door neighbor. I can't remember who it was exactly, but I thought that Ron and Mel didn't get along with each other. Or maybe it was Mel and Tom Hanks?

I guess he can't tell us all the "W's" like, who, why and what he did that would bring on this level of harassment. Why did they target him? If the FBI was involved to help him, then who was conducting all the surveillance and why? Was it a movie he directed/produced? He still seems very measured in his answers as does his past producer in describing this incident, like they want to say more, but feel they can't.
