Redford and Howard team up for the first time this summer as father and daughter in the re-make of 1977 Disney film Pete's Dragon, which is a mix of live action and special effects.
And the actress revealed that it was a great thrill to work with even - even if she wasn't quite sure what to call him at the beginning of the shoot.
Speaking to Collider, Howard said: "That was crazy! He's amazing! He's just the coolest guy in the world, who is also a bad-ass. He created Sundance. He changed the industry, forever. He has mastered producing, he has mastered directing and he has mastered acting, and yet he walks around like he's just a chill, curious, relaxed guy. It's really cool.
"I didn't refer to him as anything, for the first few days, because I didn't know what I should call him. So then, on the third day, when everyone was relaxed around him, I was just like, 'What do I call you?' He went, 'Bob. I can't stand it when people call me Mr. Redford.' It was awesome!"
David Lowery is in the director's chair for Pete's Dragon while Karl Urban, Wes Bentley, Oona Laurence, and Oakes Fegley are also on the cast list.
Pete's Dragon is set to be one of the big movies of the summer and will be the first time that we have seen Howard in a movie since the huge success of Jurassic World in 2015.
The actress has also completed work on Gold, which will see her star alongside Matthew McConaughey, Toby Kebbell, Edgar Ramirez, and Corey Stoll.
The actress is also set to reprise the role of Claire in the upcoming Jurassic World sequel.
Pete's Dragon is released 12th August.
