<\/p>\n

Brooke Shields has recalled the moment she was chased out of the sea by an aggressive monkey in Thailand, with daughter Rowan Henchy revealing she watched the entire chaotic encounter unfold from the safety of a boat<\/p>\n

The Pretty Baby and The Blue Lagoon star, 60, attended Animal Haven\u2019s 2026 Benefit for the Animals at 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge in New York alongside her daughter Rowan, 22, where the pair shared the bizarre story while discussing their lifelong love of animals. <\/p>\n

Brooke, who has remained in the spotlight in recent years through her documentary Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields<\/a>, conversations surrounding the sexualisation of child stars in Hollywood and her long-running advocacy around ageing and motherhood, was accompanied by Rowan as the young graduate received the Leonard Simon Award for her work with Animal Haven.<\/p>\n

Rowan said: \u201cWe were in Thailand, and mom got off and was swimming around when she was doing a movie there.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued: \u201cI went to visit her, and we\u2019re the type of people where it\u2019s like, \u2018We think we could get the lion be best friends with us… but she went up to a monkey\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAccording to Rowan, the encounter quickly turned chaotic.<\/p>\n

\nRowan added: \u201cThen the monkey attacked her and we had to quickly get off the island. I watched from the boat. I was like, \u2018There she goes. There she goes\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBrooke joked the situation escalated despite her attempts to calm the animal with food.<\/p>\n

\nBrooke also said: \u201cI’ve never seen anybody swim faster. I gave it bananas.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nRowan replied: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t want a banana. It wants to get you off its island.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nBrooke added the monkey was \u201cvery happy\u201d to take the bananas regardless.<\/p>\n

\nThe appearance highlighted the close relationship Brooke maintains with daughters Rowan and Grier Henchy, 20, who she shares with husband Chris Henchy. <\/p>\n

\nBrooke has frequently spoken publicly about motherhood and the challenges of adjusting to life after both daughters left home for university. <\/p>\n

\nRowan currently attends Wake Forest University in North Carolina, while Grier later followed her sister to the same institution after completing modelling campaigns alongside her mother.<\/p>\n

\nBrooke previously discussed Rowan\u2019s growth during an appearance on People (The TV Show!) in 2021.<\/p>\n

\nBrooke said: \u201cShe\u2019s really living her life, she\u2018s enjoying college, she\u2019s just really blossoming and growing.\u201d<\/p>\n
