Eddie and James Redmayne at the BAFTA Awards 2012


Eddie Redmayne About his older brother: I heard my brother on a conference call the other day. My jaw dropped to the floor as all these financial terms came pouring out of his mouth. Words I'd never heard of. I was impressed. I had the feeling that I had grown up with my brother and knew everything about him, except this massive thing that I didn't have a clue about, which is what he did at work. My post about James


Eddie with Tom on 09 February, 2013 at the  Berlin Film Festival, Les Miserables Premiere 

It is no coincidence that Eddie attended in the grand opening of The Warner Brothers Studio Tour - The Making Of Harry Potter on 31 March 2012.
Something about Eddie’s half-brother Charlie Redmayne:
Charlie didn’t go to University, he spent four years as a Lieutenant in the Irish Guards (1985-89). He was the CEO of Pottermore, where he’s been since 2011, Charlie was EVP and chief digital officer at HarperCollins, splitting time between the U.S. and London. Before that, he served as head of commercial partnerships at BSkyB. Recently he has been appointed CEO of HarperCollins U.K.

    1. I didn't find much about him yet. I only know, that he lived in Edinburgh with his family, but he's no longer alive. In an interview after Eddie's Oscar win his grandmother Mary Burke mentioned (she's more than 90 year's old), that he would have been very proud of Eddie too. http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/culture/film/eddie-redmayne-as-you-ve-never-seen-him-before-1-3698775

    1. I read that his mother's family has Irish roots and Burke is an Irish name, but I'm sorry I don't know if his grandfather or one of his earlier ancestors came from Ireland. I couldn't find a source for this information.

  5. I found a quite good summary about the family here https://bodyheightweight.com/eddie-redmayne-family/, though I noticed a few inaccuracies. The author misspelled Stephen Hawking's name. The part about Eddie's paternal grandfather John Marriner Redmayne is also faulty,the first Chief Inspector of Mines was his father, Eddie's great grandfather Sir Richard Augustine Studdert Redmayne. Eddie's Florence date with Hannah in 2012 was not a filming trip. This happened before he started shooting Les Mis in London, after he finished the rehearsals.
