New photos - Eddie and Andrew in London

Eddie and his friend Andrew Garfield were photographed recently in London. The pair were seen

laughing and hugging as they shared a walk in the sun in London’s Marylebone.

You look good Mr. Redmayne! No one could tell, that you are 41 years old.

This radiant smile makes you look much younger.

Conversation with MND Association volunteer Lesley Connor

For this year's Global MND Awareness Day (June 21), MND Association patron

Eddie Redmayne had a chat with Lesley Connor, one of the remarkable volunteers

of the charity. In the conversation, he discovers Lesley's 20-year journey, some of

her invaluable roles, and the impact she's made on those affected with MND. (x)

Eddie has been working for the MNDA for about 10 years since he made The Theory of Everything.

"I met a man called Glenn Phillips when I was preparing to do The Theory of

Everything. I went to the Queen's Square Neurology Clinic and spent time meeting

- and was introduced to families. There were many extraordinary people that I met

but I will never forget Glenn, who was a sort of academic in film. He just had

such a vibrancy to him and a kind and overwhelming courage at the moment..."

Eddie went beetroot when Lesley said she was the lucky one chosen to talk to him

and praised his work for the association.

"It's so much interestingly for me about awareness and I agree with you like that has shifted and changed. Certainly, I remember wen just after The Theory of Everything there was also the 

Ice Bucket Challenge moment (1) (2) and there was, but it's about retaining that awareness because

I think for you and me it feels like that was only yesterday, but actually, the years do move on..."

Eddie is in Budapest, he was spotted in the city on Monday

 Eddie arrived in Hungary for filming his new TV series 'The Day of the Jackal'.

He was spotted at a student demonstration in the István Széchenyi Square in Budapest

on Monday (June 5. 2023). He probably met the protestors when he was walking by.

He was in a good mood and he looked fantastic.

Eddie took a selfie and chatted with a young protestor.

In my opinion, the meeting was not planned, but I think he agrees with the demonstrators.

This wouldn't be the first time he stands up for independent good education. 

In 2020 Eddie signed an open letter in which the defining figures of British cultural life

expressed their support to the students of the Hungarian University of Theater and Film.

The letter lists the stages of the transformation of the SZFE, from the appointment of the

new board of trustees to the resignation of the senate and the occupation of the university.

The letter states that the transformation of the SZFE is part of a cultural struggle through

which they try to deprive the cultural sphere and institutions of their autonomy.

At the end of the letter, they ask the Hungarian government to restore the intellectual and

managerial autonomy of the SZFE, which they believe is vital for artistic creativity,

academic research, and education

Here's the old article with the list of signers. 

This is the third time he works in my Country. He spent a long time here filming

the TV series The Pillars of the Earth (2009) and Birdsong (2011).

Casting news about The Day of the Jackal

Variety reported that Lashana Lynch is set for a starring role in the

Sky and Peacock series. She will play Bianca, described as “a tenacious

law enforcement agent determined to catch The Jackal.”

Per the official logline, the series “is a bold, modern reimagining of the beloved

and respected novel and film. This contemporary drama will stay true to the DNA

of the original story while delving deeper into the chameleon-like ‘anti-hero’ at

the heart of the story in a high-octane, cinematic, globetrotting ‘cat and mouse’

thriller, set amidst the turbulent geo-political landscape of our time.”

In preparation for his role, Eddie had a super intensive driving technique training at a training

circuit in Zsámbék Hungary. @drivingcamp posted the photo below on June 9.

His trainer Adorján Tamás was a three-time Hungarian champion motorcycle

racer. Now he works as a driving technique instructor at Driving Camp

and competes in the Hungarian Slalom Championship.
