Bryce Dallas Howard says Jurassic World costar Chris Pratt persuaded her to join social media after a long holdout. She said signing up weeks before her 2016 “Black Mirror” role helped her prepare to play Lacie, who fixates on ratings.
Howard said choosing what to put in her social-media bio made her question how she defined herself and how healthy it is to be aware of others’ perceptions. She also used the episode to start conversations about social media with her children, then 19 and 14, before they had discussed the subject; she said seeing their mother in the story prompted a “very visceral reaction.”
