Ron Howard has built one of the most impressive careers in Hollywood. Starting out as a child actor in the 1950s, he has since gone on to become a successful screenwriter, director and producer, on top of a very productive stint in front of the camera. For all his work, he has managed to amass a stunning total of nine Oscars, six BAFTAs, and four Golden Globes.
With a mammoth net worth of about $200 million today, Howard has also ventured into other endeavors of late, including a memoir that he co-wrote with his brother Clint, titled The Boys: A Memoir of Hollywood and Family.
The famous director has also successfully raised his four children, the youngest of whom is now 35. His oldest, Bryce Dallas Howard is the most accomplished amongst the quartet, with multiple acting credits to her name. Howard's other two children are twin sisters, placing him in a special group of celebrities who have had the privilege of raising twins.
Apart from those four kids, Howard was once rumored to be the father of famous actress Jessica Chastain. Those claims were never based in fact, however, and were mostly as a consequence of her striking resemblance to Bryce.
With Howard less than two years shy of his 70th birthday, here is what all his children are up to these days.
