Bryce Dallas Howard<\/a> had “a really big crush” on Colin Hanks.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Bryce Dallas Howard was smitten with Colin Hanks when she was 12<\/p>\n

The Jurassic World star has revealed she was smitten with Tom Hanks<\/a>‘ son after meeting him on the set of her dad Ron Howard’s film Apollo 13 when she was 12 years old and Colin, who was 16 at the time, was working behind the scenes as an assistant.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on the Podcrushed podcast, she explained: “We all [the family] moved out to Los Angeles for that [ Apollo 13]. I was raised mostly in New York, and I got to be on set as an intern, basically …<\/p>\n

“Colin Hanks<\/a> was on set as a PA. He was 16, and he was working his butt off. He was working really, really, really, really hard.<\/p>\n

“And they sort of assigned me to him, and I had had a crush on Colin for so long. Like my whole life. My whole life …<\/p>\n

\n“Just any time that I encountered him, I was like: \u2018Oh my God. Now that’s a man’.”<\/p>\n

\nBryce added she had “no chance, no shot” with Colin and her director dad knew all about her crush.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “My dad knew for sure. For sure. I don’t think his dad [Tom Hanks] knew, and I don’t think he [Colin Hanks] knew. My dad totally knew … <\/p>\n

\n“Colin, he was a really big crush. A really, really, really big crush.”<\/p>\n

\nBryce revealed she was also obsessed with actor Joaquin Phoenix when she was a child and later got a shock when she was cast as his love interest in 2004 film The Village.<\/p>\n

\nShe said: “I had the biggest crush on Joaquin Phoenix when I was seven years old, and he was Leaf Phoenix, and he was in [1989 movie] Parenthood.<\/p>\n

\n“And it was insane being like: \u2018Oh, you want me to play a character who\u2019s been in love with this guy, like, her whole life? Sure’.”<\/p>\n

\nBryce went on to reveal she had her first kiss at a performing arts summer camp, saying of the experience but didn’t start dating properly until she was 18.<\/p>\n

\nShe said of her first kiss: “That was a lovely scenario. Didn’t ultimately work out, not because of anything other than he’s gay. So it was lovely. Everything was great, honestly.”<\/p>\n

\nA year after Bryce started dating, she met Seth Gabel, who she married in 2006.<\/p>\n
