were made on the press day before the film's London premiere on Dec. 9, 2014
(105-106-108-109-110-111-115-117-119-120-121-126-127-128 on the video playlist)

The Independent: 
Eddie Redmayne on 'The Theory of Everything', Stephen Hawking, and disability in film

..."You know what, I'd seen My Left Foot and I'd seen The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, which people talk about, and I'd watched them years ago, but I didn't watch them again. It's interesting because people talk about disability in film in such broad terms, but this is such a specific illness that what I did do was go and spend four or five months in a neurology clinic."...

Indiewire: Why Felicity Jones Isn't Just the Loyal Wife in 'The Theory of Everything'

Q: What was it like to watch Eddie completely transform throughout the film.

A: It was absolutely incredible. Not only was he having to take on this extraordinary physical journey of a person, but Eddie is also someone who is constantly helping you out as the other actor. He's selfless in that way. He's pushing you at the same time he's doing his own performance. He really is extraordinary. The physicality -- it was just so -- he prepared at length and he could jump in and out of it. So literally he'd be sitting when Stephen was in the chair towards the end of the film and then the next minute he'd be walking around drinking a coffee. He's someone who can jump in and out, which is extraordinary.

Q&A with Eddie in the @picturehouses magazine  (x)

The actor on portraying stephen hawking 

and working on his eyebrows

..."When I met Stephen, I noticed how 'yes' is sort of a smile and 'no' is almost a grimace, yet they only manifest in a couple of the facial muscles for him, so I learned to isolate those"...

..."Felicity would sometimes be off-camera improvising lines or shouting things at me to keep me off-balance. You can only do that with someone you really trust, and I trusted her implicitly. I've such respect for Felicity; she is sensational."...

Sunday Post: Eddie Redmayne – is it Oscar time for Stephen Hawking actor?

...“How Jane and Stephen chose to overcome the obstacles put in their way was pretty dumbfounding....
I don’t use the word inspirational lightly as it sounds rather glib, but the fact he was given only two years to live, every day beyond that he says is a gift. With Jane’s extraordinary support, they lived their lives, fully, passionately and looking forward.
I get caught up in the foibles and anxieties of the everyday and it’s humbling seeing how they’ve lived and fill their time on this planet.
They are a model of ... I don’t want to use the word inspiration again, but I have to.”...

Timeout: Eddie Redmayne interview: ‘We only have one shot at life’

...What life lessons did you learn making ‘Theory’?
‘Number one: Stephen and Jane had these obstacles put in their way, but refused to be defined by them. They’ve been defined by how they’ve overcome them. How we overcome limitations is what’s important. And two: the notion of time. Stephen was given two years to live and every day beyond that he sees as a gift. He lives every minute of every day as passionately as possible. I’m one of those people who gets caught up in the anxieties of daily bollocks. He is a great reminder that we only have one shot at life, and we have to live it as fully as possible.’...

New fanpic - Honeymoon in the French Alps - Eddie's favorite hotels

Eddie Redmayne spotted by a fan at the ski resort Les Airelles Courchevel 

in the French Alps, Dec. 26, 2014. (Instagram sarahtabet) - via (x)

I love this photo and his beautiful happy smile. He's on honeymoon with Hannah.

Bed hopping with Eddie Redmayne in Oct Conde Nast UK Traveller. 

His favorite hotels worldwide including a glimpse into his romantic nature.

In the 2014 Oct Issue of Conde Nast UK Traveller there was an article about Eddie's favorite hotels, but I didn't make a post about it yet. 
The promo tour that followed the premiere of TToE was a very busy period for Eddie, I hardly could keep up with him.

The magazine scan was published in September and you can read the article on the magazine's website too since Oct. 13.. 

LE SIRENUSE, POSITANO

'This is the most romantic place I've ever stayed. It's run by Antonio Sersale and his wife Carla, who epitomise old-school hoteliers: warm, generous, fun-loving. Every room has a balcony overlooking the sea, and next to the bed is an article by John Steinbeck about Positano. It takes you back to a different era. There is a little boutique where my girlfriend and I bought pillows to recreate Positano in our apartment in London.' 

LE GRAND COEUR, MERIBEL
'I love skiing, and when we were kids my parents spoilt us rotten and took us here. I'd go and sit in the bar and listen to this dude playing the piano; I still aspire to be the piano man at Le Grand Coeur. My other memory is of the most incredible bacon at breakfast.'
SUNSET TOWER HOTEL, LOS ANGELES
'I have very fond memories of waking up at 5am in the Art Deco ramparts of a suite at the top of this hotel and looking out over LA as the sun was rising.(x) The place is infused with such history; you feel it in the fabric of the building. And the restaurant is awesome, too.'

THE PENINSULA HONG KONG
'I stayed here when I did some master classes for BAFTA (x). The general manager is a wonderful woman, Rainy Chan, and the service is so flawless it has a lovely purity to it. It's a gigantic hotel, and seeing how this lady runs the place was fascinating. Everyone made me feel really, really welcome.'

KINLOCH LODGE, ISLE OF SKYE
'This place was founded by the brilliant Claire and Godfrey Macdonald. As a child, I was lucky enough to spend many summers lost in the kitchen here, and there's also nothing like a sub-zero dip in the loch to blast away the cobwebs after more recent dubious attempts at doing a reel, fuelled by whisky. Claire is the most talented chef and set up a stunning restaurant, now run by Marcello Tully.'

NOT SO HOT
'I love staying in hotels, but I have yet to master the art of tipping correctly. I either give far too much or far too little.
If someone could teach me the protocol, that would be great.'

How Eddie Redmayne transformed his body and mind to become Stephen Hawking

…since transforming himself into the ALS-afflicted Hawking through a grueling four-month process, Redmayne’s star has been rising, and with good reason. The performance, absent of caricature, is indeed one of the best of the year, and Redmayne is, no doubt, a shoo-in for a nomination…

London Evening Standard - The Theory of Everything - film review: 

‘Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones give performances that are not to be missed’
..."Redmayne is astounding here, a completely persuasive lookalike, somehow, from the shambling, grinning young man to the contorted figure deprived of almost all movement but still a hugely affecting presence, just through the tiniest movement of an eyebrow or lifting of a lip.

His physical acting is a marvel — embodying the relentless progress of the illness quite shockingly — but he also conveys Hawking’s intellect and force of personality no less convincingly and touchingly. For this he deserves all the awards going this year (it is interesting, by the way, to compare Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance in the 2004 BBC film Hawking, which seemed so good at the time but in comparison now looks flat).

In support, Charlie Cox (Jonathan Hellyer Jones) and Maxine Peake (Elaine Mason) are creditable but it is Felicity Jones who makes this relationship so moving, bringing such grace, intelligence and integrity of feeling to Jane. Her face moves the heart: simple as that. She’s Redmayne’s equal. These are performances not to be missed. It helps, of course, that the pair are improbably good-looking, with matching pouts even. But as casting that’s fine. The Theory of Everything turns this unusual marriage into a love story that speaks to all: it’s that good.”... (via)

hollywood.com: Eddie Redmayne is an expert at cooking ham
..."About 10 years ago, I say, 'Mum, can we have a ham at Christmas?' And she goes, 'Yes. And you can make it.'"
Redmayne admits his first ever attempt at cooking ham wasn't such a success, but he has since perfected the process - and now it's become his signature dish.
He says, "I'm not good at following recipes. The first bit involves soaking the meat so all the salt comes out. I couldn't be bothered, so I just scored it with cloves, smothered it in sugar and mustard, and cooked it. It went well until the entire family woke up in the middle of the night, gasping for water. The ham was like one massive grain of salt!
"Now I'm much better at it. Maybe I should become like Gwyneth Paltrow and have a cooking website. I'll call it Salty Ham! There's my new career."

Variety: The 59 Best Performances of 2014
1. Eddie Redmayne, "The Theory of Everything."
In a year of big transformations, Eddie Redmayne as Stephen Hawking was the best. The 32-year-old actor spent four months studying Hawking's life and interviewing sufferers of ALS. He shed 15 pounds and wore prosthetic ears to give the impression that his body had shrunk. Since James Marsh's biopic wasn't shot in sequence, Redmayne had to portray different stages of the disease on the same day. Like Charlize Theron in “Monster” or Daniel Day-Lewis in “My Left Foot,” “Theory” is a career-defining moment for Redmayne, who inhabits his character so deeply, you forget you're watching a performance...

25. Felicity Jones, "The Theory of Everything"
The British ingénue who broke out in “Like Crazy” finally gets an worthy follow-up act. On my second viewing of “Theory,” I was astonished by how hard Jones works–like Jane Hawking did in real life–to prop up her man....(via)

LA Times: For actor Eddie Redmayne, a Stephen Hawking immersion course

(an interesting old article - published on Nov. 7, 2014 - with movie clip and Envelope Screening videos)

Actors can engage in plenty of odd pre-performance rituals. But when it comes to moments you’d rather strangers not see, few compare to hanging out in a London park mimicking Stephen Hawking.
That was life for Eddie Redmayne in the months before he took on the scientist in the new biopic “The Theory of Everything.” Redmayne would practice Hawking’s physicality through the ages while a movement coach captured it all on camera. Then the actor would study the footage and go out and do it all over again.
“It was a little like shooting a love scene,” Redmayne said over lunch at the Waldorf Astoria recently. “You knew it was good for the movie, but there was also a bit of 'can we get out of here?’”...read more

Anthony McCarten said in the third video: It took eight years to get that permission, but it was a rich journey and I'm grateful for it now. Someone asked me the other day - What if you got permission immediately? - Well I would not have Felicity Jones and I would not have Eddie Redmayne in these roles and if I was given the choice now, I've wait the ten years to get this type of actors.
