Ron Howard Gets Some Hate After Giving ‘Cowardly’ Responses To Questions About JD Vance
HuffPost
The filmmaker worked with the then-venture capitalist on 2020’s “Hillbilly Elegy.” The movie was adapted from Vance’s 2016 memoir of the same name.
Director Ron Howard seems to want to think about anything other than politics — especially when it comes to Vice President JD Vance.
In an interview published Wednesday, Vulture asked the filmmaker what he thinks about the legacy of his 2020 film, “Hillbilly Elegy.”
“I don’t think about it,” Howard said. “I know it’s a mixed bag and probably quite culturally divided. I also know that reviews were bad and the audience-reaction rating was pretty good.”
“Hillbilly Elegy” is based on Vance’s best-selling 2016 memoir of the same name, which propelled him to national fame. Howard worked with the then-venture capitalist on the movie and spent time with him while they were promoting the film.
Despite Howard’s rather neutral response about his film, Vulture continued to press the topic of Vance, asking the director if he’s “able to reconcile the person you knew and the character in the movie with the person you see now?”
