Though his movies have made billions at the box office and he’s been awarded pretty much every major accolade, from the Oscars to the Emmys to a Grammy,has achieved an honor even more rare: He’s maintained his reputation as one of the nicest guys in the business. It’s why the team behind Fox’s animated hit “The Simpsons” got such a kick out of portraying Howard as the ultimate Hollywood stereotype in his several appearances on the show.
“I don’t think of myself in those terms, but it’s obviously incredibly flattering,” he says. “To me, I think of the people who influenced me or mentored me.” “He told me, ‘Whatever path you follow creatively, if you have the luxury to take real chances, do it. You better feel like you’re risking your career every couple of years or you’re not really honoring the medium or the audience or yourself,’” Howard recalls. “I was inspired by that. And I’ve tried to take on projects that took me out of my comfort zone.”
He credits his crew and his cast, which includes Viggo Mortensen, Joel Edgerton and Colin Farrell as rescue divers, for setting the tone. “I’ve never had a film with less complaining.” Howard said that the enthusiasm of people making the film reflected the connection people had to the real-life story. The actual rescue effort involved over 10,000 volunteers from all over the world coming together, taking risks and making sacrifices.
