Bryce Dallas Howard still hasn’t seen dad Ron in ‘Happy Days,’ nearly 2 decades after surprising ‘View’ reveal

Dinosaurs might be easier to handle than this kind of pressure.

While promoting “Jurassic World: Dominion,” which hit theaters Friday, Bryce Dallas Howard — daughter of Oscar-winning director Ron Howard — told “The View” that she still has never seen her dad’s role as Richie Cunningham on “Happy Days.”

Howard, 41, whose godfather Henry Winkler also starred on the beloved sitcom as The Fonz, first shared the “sacrilegious” reveal during her inaugural appearance on the show in 2004 — earning a gasp from the audience.

Asked this week whether she’s finally rectified the gaping hole in both her pop culture and family experiences, Howard hesitated, before letting out a laugh.

“Not really,” she said. “But it’s not like I’ve avoided it. So Jay Leno gave me a box set. He heard that when I revealed it here on ‘The View,’ and he was like, ‘Get with it. Here’s a box set of ‘Happy Days,’” and I was like, ‘Thank you so much.’ But I didn’t really fully— I haven’t— [laughing].”

But, she said, she has indeed watched her dad play Opie on “The Andy Griffith Show.”

Set in the 1950s, “Happy Days” ran for 11 seasons from 1974 to 1984, during which time it scored an Emmy for outstanding film editing in a comedy series and earned eight other nominations.

But the younger Howard’s “Jurassic” role is itself a hit of nostalgia, and not just by reuniting the franchise’s original stars with each other — and the dinosaurs.

“I saw the [original] movie when I was 12 years, in the theaters, 1993, opening weekend. And it blew my mind. I cried in the theater. Not from fear, but from wonder and awe, knowing that now movies had changed forever. It was ... paradigm-shifting, that movie, in terms of cinematic technology and what was now possible. And it’s just an incredible movie,” she said.

“And so getting to now be a part of the ‘Jurassic’ movies is a phenomenal honor, but then working with the folks who made ‘Jurassic Park?’ And that started with B.D. Wong, with the first ‘Jurassic World,’ and then Jeff Goldblum joined in the second. And now in the third, we’ve got Sam Neill and obviously Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum and B.D. Wong all together with us. And it’s kind of bananas. It’s wild.”
