BuzzFeed interview videos - Spilling the tea with Eddie Redmayne

1. Tea or coffee? Eddie Redmayne: Coffee. 

2. How do you take it? ER: I like it with a lot of milk. I’m either a latte man, or an Americano with a lot of milk and sugar. A lot of sugar. I can occasionally go to that mocha-cappa-racca-racca thing depending on the time of year. Is that too long an answer? 

3. Puppies or kittens? ER: Puppies! 

 4. What animal do you think you’re most like? ER: Well, when I was doing the first Fantastic Beasts, I did this whole Pottermore Patronus thing and I was a Basset hound dog. Twice. Which sort of broke all the algorithm rules of that thing, so I felt like that was the world – or J.K. Rowling’s world – telling me that I was, in fact, a Basset hound. I’ll take that.
...

What Hogwarts house are you in?



Have you ever freaked out about meeting a celebrity?
ER: “Yes. It was Allison Janney, who I think is one of the greatest actors in the world and hopefully will win an Oscar this year. She was in The West Wing – she plays CJ Cregg. It’s basically the only television show I’ve ever really watched, and I was obsessed with her. I got to meet her several years ago at the Golden Globes. We walked into this room, and she was there at this party, and my wife walked up to her and basically apologised on my behalf for how I was about to behave, for being too keen and gushing. She is as formidable in life as she is on screen”

MCM - Eddie in Fade In Magazine 2013 January issue - Photos by Jerry Avenaim

Jerry Avenaim posted this beautiful photo on Instagram. This is 
from his photoshoot for Fade In magazine 2013 January issue. 
You find the photo with text in the photographer's earlier tweet here.


The photoshoot was on 8th December 2012 at Studio 1444


The amazing 

You’ve said that you’ve found fear to be inspiring. How?: "Because generally I’ve found that the work 
that I’ve done that’s outside of my comfort zone, when I have to leap further from myself, I find I tend to do 
more interesting work, and I find the process more disconcerting, but also more exhilarating. So it’s often the 
parts I feel like I’ve been pushed on the most as an actor, when I’m cast in something that feels entirely 
inappropriate, but someone has offered it to me, some mad person has a bit of blind faith in me taking that. 
Like I did a film called The Yellow Handkerchief, where I played an adopted Native American, or Hick or 
Savage Grace, playing this incestuous kid. The things where it feels really outside of my comfort zone are 
the more intriguing ones for me, and certainly Les Miz felt like the extremity of that because it was a musical."




What’s your ten-year plan? "I genuinely don’t have one. Even with Richard II,
I hadn’t done a Shakespeare play for ten years since my first professional job,
and it took [former Donmar Warehouse artistic director] Michael Grandage to go,
“Right, Eddie, I want you to play Richard II,” and I had to go, “Oh, really? Okay.”
I pursued Les Miz because I knew something inside me had loved it since I was
younger and had ruminated on that piece for years. I’m becoming more interested
in directing. I have such admiration for film directors because they have to be the
masters of many arts, there’s this sort of polymath quality to what they do, and
you need to be schooled in all those things to be a really, true great director.
I try by osmosis to glean moments of that from different people on different
film sets, so I would love at some point to direct, but I don’t think that will be
anytime soon. I’ve got a lot of learning to do."

More on The Aeronauts, the upcoming new period drama for Amazon Studios

(x)

At the end of November we learnt from a Deadline article, that Eddie and his 'The Theory 
of Everything' co-star Felicity Jones are talking about reteaming on a new period drama.
Screendaily reported, that Glen Basner’s FilmNation Entertainment will launch international
sales at the EFM this month on Amazon Studios’ The Aeronauts starring Eddie Redmayne
and Felicity Jones. Mandeville Films’ David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman are producing
the film about a hot air balloon expedition. Tom Harper directs from a screenplay by the
award winning writer of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, Jack Thorne. Amazon Studios
is financing the prestige feature and will self-distribute The Aeronauts in the US.
Felicity would play balloon pilot Amelia Wren and Eddie would be scientist James Glaisher. 
In 1862, they embarked on an extraordinary journey to discover the secrets of the heavens.

“...Eddie and I are shooting something called The Aeronauts later in the year.
We obviously worked on The Theory of Everything and we have an easy
working relationship. We're both perfectionists so we both work in incredibly
hard towards doing more together.” - Felicity on working with Eddie again."
 Quote from a recent interview for Büro via @lunadainuoja

In a recent Early Man interview (video below) Eddie was asked about his next project.
He didn't tell us the project's title, but I think he talked about 'The Aeronauts',
. 

"The plan is to do something else later in the year, but I can't talk about it yet, only
because in the past I have, and I end up jinxing them, and they don't happen, so...
Yeah, the plan is to make another film soon." - Eddie said in the video

(x) ...

In the wonderful recent BuzzFeed interview he also mentioned something, that
made me think of this project. When he was asked about the last book he read,
he said: "A book called Falling Upwards (by Richard Holmes).
It’s about the history of air balloon flight, which is excellent."
It seems like he already did some research for the role.
