The actress is starring opposite Taron Egerton who plays Elton John in the new film. Her role shines a light on the legend's fraught relationship with his mother Sheila.
'It was very bad toxic damaging relationship. I think she definitely didn't get him. More than that she was a deeply unhappy person,' Howard said in a recent interview.

Adding: 'He was raised in a household as an only child, not shown love and affection. If there's that void, it's a difficult thing for him to fill.'

Elton and his husband David Furnish are producers on the film that took nearly 20 years to get made.

In a new piece for The Guardian, Elton opened up about his life and the emotional journey of turning his remarkable past into a film.
He noted that he cried within 15 minutes of seeing his life on screen, particularly his parents, noting that his 'mum was argumentative and prone to dark moods.'
On the road to creating Rocketman, Elton explained that some producers wanted him to sugarcoat the more scandalous parts of his history and he refused.

'Some studios wanted to tone down the sex and drugs so the film would get a PG-13 rating. But I just haven't led a PG-13 rated life,' he wrote.
'I didn't want a film packed with drugs and sex, but equally, everyone knows I had quite a lot of both during the '70s and '80s, so there didn't seem to be much point in making a movie that implied that after every gig, I'd quietly gone back to my hotel room with only a glass of warm milk and the Gideon's Bible for company.'
The rockstar went on to say that it was harder to watch his childhood unfold in the film than it was to see himself, immortalized by Egerton, spiraling into drugs and alcohol.

'It’s strange, I don’t find it painful to watch those parts of the film. They’re truthful and, unlike my childhood, it was my own fault,' Elton penned.
'No one forced me to do drugs and drink. In fact, more than a few people tried to warn me I was out of control. It took a fairly Herculean effort to get yourself noticed for taking too much cocaine in the music industry of 1970s LA, but I was clearly prepared to put the hours in.'
Rocketman is set to be released in the US on May 31.
