The 33-year-old actor,

Oscar-winning Eddie has been given the title by GQ magazine and had some seriously tough competition...
GQ: 50 Best Dressed Men in Britain
1. Eddie Redmayne (Last year no1)
GQ says: The actor's fashion potential was spotted early on when he starred in Burberry campaigns and today the Oscar-winner earns plaudits for his impeccable taste.
The nicest man in British cinema may also be its most terrified. Having graduated from Eton wannabe to Oscar winner, he's back with another groundbreaking performance as a transgender woman in The Danish Girl.

Eddie Redmayne on occasionally paying young actors' rent
"The greatest privilege that I had was that my parents lived in London. So when I was out of university and out of work for a year, working in a pub, I didn't pay rent. And I get letters from people trying to go to drama school and needing to pay their rent. And so that's something I occasionally do. It's impossibly expensive to live in London."
Eddie Redmayne on the challenging acting roles he chooses
"I think people look at it and go, urgh, you want to try and do something transformational. And it's not true - just, if you're lucky enough in your lifetime to get two parts that are interesting and challenging to play, then it's a privilege really."

and see Savage Grace!’ ”

What's more, Redmayne is the defending champ, having prevailed last year for "The Theory of Everything" over one-time frontrunner Michael Keaton ("Birdman"). Are we underestimating him again this year?
Redmayne has earned nominations from all the key Oscar precursors: the Golden Globes, SAG Awards and Critics' Choice Awards. He's also been recognized with nominations from various critics' groups, including journalists from Chicago, Dallas-Fort Worth, Vancouver and Washington DC, to name a few. And all but two of our 24 expert Oscar pundits say he'll be nominated at the Oscars, placing him safely in third with 13/2 odds. So it may be premature to count Redmayne out for the win....
