Just met and had a little chat with the beaut that is Eddie Redmayne in a restaurant in Chelsea.
Eddie Redmayne's back dining in his old hood, posing for a selfie with a lovely fan.
Eddie was born and raised in Chelsea and although he lives in Borough now, he often shows up around here.
Quotes from the interview:
RED ALERT - From Borough to Broadway. And back.
...āIām not aggressively ambition. The criteria for accepting work is just whether or not it appeals to me. Whatever medium that is. Whether itās on stage or television or film is of no consequence really.
āAnd I donāt sit there think āOh God, I wish I had that careerā. I remember working with Alfred Molina, when we did āRedā and I remember him saying āA career is something you look back on, rather than projectā. I feel you take it step by step, pace by pace,ā he adds....

...He was born and raised in Chelsea, but has since moved across London to Borough ā a place he enthuses over without being prompted.
āIāve lived [in Borough] for about four years. I have various favourite thingsā¦ The market obviously, all of that Southbank area, right from where the National [Theatre] is, all the way down to Shad Thames. The last ten to 15 years, it has become Europeanā he says, āin the most wonderfully, uniquely British way. Thereās the celebration of the riverā¦ and I love the Design Museum in Shad Thames.
āI studied my first ever play there. It wasnāt at the Globe Theatre, but it was with the Globe Theatre company. We rehearsed there. That place has always got special value. And you can always nip across the river to St Pauls for evensong. You try and abuse those things, that London has and gives willingly but doesnāt advertise.ā.....

...āI gave away my pub in an interview last time,ā he laughs. āI think might keep it to myself!ā
So, has it come to that? Being hounded in the streets and at bars by fans? ā[People recognise me] sporadically,ā he says. āMore in the States than they do here. But it tends to be more āDo I knowā¦?ā rather than āYouāre the guy fromā¦ā Itās where youāve sort of battered your way into someoneās subconscious but they think youāre a friend from back at primary school.ā
