“This is a story about dreaming to look up. There is an extraordinary
wonder and formidable freedom up there in the sky when you’re in a
balloon, but you’re always subservient the nature.” - Eddie Redmayne

SHARP Magazine Winter 2020 - The Theory of Eddie Redmayne

sharpmagazine: "The beloved English actor and king of period pieces ditches
the heritage tweed for some camo and denim our Winter 2020 cover shoot.
In the exclusive interview, Redmayne reflects on modern Hollywood and his
thrilling new roll in the biographical adventure film @theaeronautsmov."

I already shared last week the cover photo posted by SHARP Magazine, and
now we can also enjoy the interview by Calum Marsh and the beautiful
photos by Doug Inglish on their website here. The Winter 2020 issue is
on newsstands now. Here are some quotes and photos from the article.


"It’s been a long, long time since I wore a pair of jeans,... I was actively looking for
something contemporary, probably American,... I so wanted to get out of tweed.”

Why he still accepted the role of James Glaisher in The Aeronauts? “I know,” 
he sighs. “Yet it was such a thrilling prospect for me. I read the script and
I just thought, ‘I would kill to see this in a cinema.’ That’s what did it.”


“There are always things you aspire toward, with the acknowledgment
that you’ll never quite get there. But you shape yourself in the process.”

“Each job I do, I watch, I see what I got wrong, and I try to improve
for next time,... I feel like my whole career has been like that.”

“I have never had specific aspirations,... In fact, the roles that have been most
successful for me have been parts that someone told me I should play when I
didn’t really see it. People often ask me if there’s a part I want to play someday, 
but it’s never worked like that. I enjoy jumping off a cliff.” - Eddie Redmayne

Academy Award nominee Felicity Jones has proved to be at home in every film genre, from
period dramas to action adventures. All of her skills come into play in "The Aeronauts,"
as daring balloon pilot Amelia Wren battles 19th-century social norms on the ground 
— and the merciless elements aloft.

A dream team of artists and technicians pool their talents to re-create Victorian England
