Lars von Trier threw water at Bryce Dallas Howard and insulted her father
Lars von Trier threw a glass of water in Bryce Dallas Howard's face and insulted her father because he wanted to see her "angry face".
The 'Jurassic World' actress worked with the director on 2005 film 'Manderlay' and she revealed her first meeting with the moviemaker on the set in Norway came as a bit of a shock as she was subjected to a barrage of insults and a jibe about her director dad Ron Howard.
Bryce told The Times newspaper: "He started insulting me: 'Your father's a terrible filmmaker.' I went: 'Lars, what are you trying to see?' and he said: 'Your angry face. I don't know what it looks like'."
She went on to reveal von Trier then threw a glass of water in her face and Bryce responded by doing the same to him.
The actress added: "So I threw a glass of water in his face. He goes: 'Why did you do that?' and got up and left. That was my introduction to the Lars von Trier experience."
However, Bryce is adamant she wasn't upset by the encounter. She explained: "It wasn't like I went to my room and cried or anything. I was sort of delighted by it."
Bryce's dad started as an actor before moving behind the camera and she hopes to do more directing in the future, but she will never give up acting completely like he did.
She added: "I don't want to let go of acting as my dad has done. That would be really heartbreaking because I learn so much being on a set. I have so much fun.'
Bryce is close to her filmmaker father and he recently shared a sweet tribute to her on Instagram to mark her 44th birthday earlier this year - declaring she has far exceeded the family's expectations with her huge success in the movie business.
Ron wrote: "Happy Birthday, Daughter! You've always made your mom and me happy and incredibly proud.
"But the scope of what you've achieved with your family and career and the future you are building exceeds our wildest hopes from back when you were this adorable kid we loved so much."
It came just a day after Bryce shared her own tribute to her dad on his birthday, writing in a post on Instagram: "I love you so much Dad, more than words can say."

World's biggest TikTok star leaves US after being detained by ICE
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here BREAKING Pentagon launches review of AUKUS pact Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the US after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the US on April 30 and "overstayed the terms of his visa," the ICE spokesperson said. TikTok star Khaby Lame has left the US after he was detained by ICE officers. (Scott Garfitt/Invision/AP) The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the US comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure – which was granted to Lame – allows those facing removal from the US to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the US for up to a decade. Lame, who is Senegalese-Italian, has more than 162 million followers on TikTok. (AP) The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated "life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the US. immigration TikTok celebrities USA World CONTACT US

Karl Stefanovic's model daughter Willow, 20, stuns during Tuscan wedding as she shows off striking $463 pink strapless gown
Willow Stefanovic has stunned at a recent wedding in Italy. The daughter of Today host and his ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn took to Instagram on Tuesday to share several striking photos of herself at the nuptials in Tuscany. Willow, whose first name is Ava but uses her middle name, attended the European wedding as a guest and opted for a summer-inspired outfit. The model, 20, looked elegant in a light pink $463 House of CB dress, which she accessorised with a drop pearl necklace and bangle. A flattering tan accentuated Willow's toned arms, and her long brunette hair was styled naturally to fall just below her waist. The social media influencers' family and friends praised her in the comments. Her father's Today co-cost Sarah Abo wrote: "Gorgeous girl xx". Willow's stepmother Jasmine Yarbrough, who married Karl in 2018, said the model looked like "a dream". "So so so beautiful," another person said. "Breathtaking. So is the scenery," one more person said. Willow shares a striking resemblance to both her mother and father. She is one of three children of Karl and Cassandra, a children's author, before the pair divorced in 2017 after 22 years of marriage. The following February, the Today host announced his engagement to Jasmine and the couple married in a ceremony in Mexico that December. They welcomed a daughter, Harper, in 2020. The model's latest round of photos comes as she continues to share her worldwide travels with her 11,000 followers on social media. In February, Willow was seen enjoying dining and shopping in Uruguay and gave fans a glimpse of breathtaking water views in St Tropez, France. The 20-year-old resides in London, where she began studying for a degree in fashion at the prestigious London College of Fashion in 2023. Willow is already making moves to follow her famous father into the spotlight. She signed with Precision MGMT in 2021 and told Stellar that Karl "backs me 100 per cent as long as I'm happy." "We all know I didn't get my fashionista gene from him,' she said. Speaking to the publication, Karl encouraged his daughter's pursuit and said it's just the tip of the iceberg of her many wide-ranging interests. "She doesn't go into anything blindly, especially the fashion world," he said. "She's a strong, independent young woman and wants to pursue lots of things in life. We love her spirit."
