There is a long history behind Steve Howey's passion for the ocean. The first is that the "Shameless" actor was born to parents who were a part of the U.S. Navy. So, Howey was bound to have an affinity toward the ocean, especially because he grew up living on a boat.
The actor revealed to Forbes he had grown up "on a 67-foot yacht called Valkyrien." Initially, the boat was docked in Mariners Village before Howey and his family swapped for a smaller boat to travel along Baja, California and Mexico. Howey shared, "I used to play with the local kids in Mexico. I'd give my toys to them. I'd collect empty bottles with them and trade them for pesos." Living on the boat opened a young Howey to a culturally diverse world. Even through the diversity, the "Reba" actor realized at everyone's core, we are all the same.
Being a young kid and living on a boat seems like the ultimate dream, and for Howey, he has a lot of extraordinary memories of himself and his family living on the sea. He said, "I saw Halley's Comet. It only happens every [75] years. I swam with sharks. We almost capsized in a gale, which is a storm that's on the sea. This is all while I was a little boy." Howey's time at sea has a special place in his heart as he continues to travel the world.
