HOWARD HATED SPORTS AS A KID

HUSTLE + FLOW star TERRENCE HOWARD avoided contact sports when he was a kid - because he didn't like the idea of other children bumping into him.

Terrence Howard AT 'The Pursuit of Happyness' Premiere held at the Mann Village Theatre. Westwood, California USA - 07.12.06

Howard admits he was a bookish, solitary child who would do everything he could to avoid sports activities - even swimming.

He says, "The swimming pool in my community, growing up in Cleveland, Ohio wasn't good. I mean the kids would pee in the pool. You didn't want to swim in that pool.

"There was very little supervision the swimming pool. It was a very, very dangerous place and I didn't want to do that. I wanted to sit out and read.

"My heart was in physics and it's still physics. I never went out for athletics. I didn't like close human contact like that. I don't like nobody bumping into me, hitting me. I'm a chicken."
