Live with Kelly and Ryan interview

(x)

Eddie was on Live with Kelly and Ryan in New York City Wednesday morning.

Eddie Redmayne is ready for his interview! (x)

"There was a moment this year where I felt like as a dad, who played a wizard, I could

try and get some brownie points," he begins. "I gave Iris, my daughter, Newt's wand.

Which I thought was pretty exciting, and she's like 'Okay, thanks Dad.'...

I came back an hour later and she covered the thing in tinfoil, she'd made a little star

and made a fairy wand. And she's like, 'Now this is a wand,' " Redmayne says with

a laugh." (That) slightly undermined my brownie points."

Eddie recounted that his son Luke asked him if he was a real-life wizard.

"You have that sort of moral dilemma, like do I lie to my child? I find myself stuck

in the middle and he's like, 'No, you're either a wizard or you're not.' So I said 'Yeah

I am a wizard' and I did some sort of trick with a coin, the one magic trick I could do."

And he's like, 'That's not the kind of stuff you can do in the (Fantastic Beasts) trailer.

In the trailer, you can make stuff explode.' So I think he told his friends at school and

they asked me to do some of the stuff in the trailer and it was a bit of a letdown."
