Eddie, Steady, Go: The talented Mr Redmayne on Baftas, bankers and Birdsong

"Redmayne is a born-and-bred London boy, and seems almost as excited by the fact he has just had an offer accepted on his first flat, in Borough, as he is by his latest acting prize."

During my search I found an interesting tweet:

Norman Bowman ™ @normanbowman69 tweeted 11:10 AM on June 18, 2012:
"I just eyeballed Eddie Redmayne in Borough - he was playing it cool but I could tell he was star struck."
I didn't know him before and I was curious why Eddie would have been starstruck, so I searched on Google a little.

Norman Bowman is an actor. He works mostly on the West End and he showed up in a few TV series and films. 

Interesting fact, that he played Marius in Les Misérables (and Tony in West Side Story) too.

EDDIE REDMAYNE INTERVIEW - MARCH 30, 2012 ANTHONYPEARCE1986
Interview with British star Eddie Redmayne in the run up to the release of My Week with Marilyn, 

cover feature in Living South magazine 2012 February Issue. 

...“I’m not aggressively ambition. The criteria for accepting work is just whether or not it appeals to me. Whatever medium that is. Whether it’s on stage or television or film is of no consequence really.
“And I don’t sit there think ‘Oh God, I wish I had that career’. I remember working with Alfred Molina, when we did ‘Red’ and I remember him saying ‘A career is something you look back on, rather than project’. I feel you take it step by step, pace by pace,” he adds....

...He was born and raised in Chelsea, but has since moved across London to Borough – a place he enthuses over without being prompted.
“I’ve lived [in Borough] for about four years. I have various favourite things… 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 European” he says, “in the most wonderfully, uniquely British way. There’s the celebration of the river… and I love the Design Museum in Shad Thames.
“I studied my first ever play there. It wasn’t 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 doesn’t advertise.”.....

...“I gave away my pub in an interview last time,” he laughs. “I think might keep it to myself!”
So, has it come to that? Being hounded in the streets and at bars by fans? “[People recognise me] sporadically,” he says. “More in the States than they do here. But it tends to be more ‘Do I know…?’ rather than ‘You’re the guy from…’ It’s where you’ve sort of battered your way into someone’s subconscious but they think you’re a friend from back at primary school.”

Eddie Redmayne: Teenage Cancer Trust Concert After Party!

Just Jared - 10 April 2013

Eddie Redmayne keeps close to his girlfriend Hannah Bagshawe as they leave the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts after party held at the Groucho Club on Wednesday (April 10) in London, England. The 31-year-old Les Miserables actor held hands with his gal pal as they laughed and joked on the way out of the club. The photo's source ( x ) location: 281 Regent Street at the JOE & THE JUICE store ( x )

The Teenage Cancer Trust is a charity devoted to improving the lives of teenagers and young adults with cancer. Each year, the charity puts on a concert with headlining acts to raise money for the organization.

This year's Teenage Cancer Trust Concert 

Feat One Republic will be held on 27th March in Royal Albert Hall. Eddie 

is an Ambassador of the Charity, so I hope he will be there too.

Eddie Redmayne Leads the Way For His Lady in London

On March 16, 2013 Hannah and Eddie walked around London, and they went to the White Cube Gallery too. But there they saw, that one of the "performers" rollerblading in a transparent jumpsuit. To save his girlfriend from embarrassment, Eddie decided not to go further, so they turned back and walked away without looking at the exhibition. And they went for a walk. ( x )

Questions about London, Eddie's favorite places, meals and shops

Based on: Eddie Redmayne's My London - an excellent interview by Hannah Nathanson

Published in Evening Standard 29 October 2010 (I slightly rearranged the questions) Photos source ( x )

Where do you live? 

In Borough, just behind Tate Modern, with two of my oldest mates, a banker and a head-hunter. I love the area; it's got a huge amount of colour.
What advice would you give a tourist?
Start at The Courtauld Gallery then cross the river to Borough Market and taste everything on offer. It's the best free lunch. Then take the No 19 bus from Chelsea to Islington, past London's best sights.
Which shops do you rely on?
For books, John Sandoe's off the King's Road and the National Theatre bookshop for plays. For sheet music I go to Kensington Chimes Music and for drawing materials I go to Green & Stone on the King's Road. I sometimes indulge in an overpriced scarf at The Shop at Bluebird.
What's your favourite meal in London?

Ziani's, an Italian restaurant on Radnor Walk, does a dish called taglierini tartufate. I just have to inhale it and I'm a happier person.
What are your guilty pleasures?

I have a deep addiction to cheese and Marmite paninis from the Starbucks at Borough Tube.

Which is your favourite shopping street?
I love Camden Passage at the Angel for weird stalls and antiques. It has a great vibe.

What's London's most romantic place?

The New River waterway walk from Stoke Newington to Islington.

Which is your favourite pub?

My local, The Gladstone, has live music. I saw Gemma Arterton's sister Hannah perform there. I have fond memories of working in The Builders Arms in Chelsea after uni.
What are your favourite London discoveries?
The Cast Court Collection's life-size cast of Michelangelo's David at the V&A; and the salmon and sweet dill tartine at Tartine on Draycott Avenue.
Tell me something I don't know about London...
There's no Tube station at World's End because they are too afraid to dig up a plague pit there. My dad may have made that up, though.

More personal questions:

What's your life philosophy?
'Take life step by step, pace by pace, slowly, 

slowly and leave the competition to others.'

It's from a letter Chekhov wrote to his wife Olga Knipper.

What was the last play you saw?
Faust at the Young Vic by Vesturport, a group of Icelandic actors. It's physical and dynamic and unlike anything else you'll see on stage.
What was the last album you bought?
Folk singer Johnny Flynn's album A Larum, which cheers me up massively.
What would you save from a fire?

My two prints by the Cornish artist Patrick Heron, which I bought with money from my first jobs.

What are you up to?

I've got a TV series, Pillars of the Earth, currently on Channel 4 and I'm filming My Week with Marilyn, a true story about an English boy who fell for Marilyn Monroe at Pinewood Studios in the 1950s.
What's your earliest London memory?

Being pushed in my pram by my mum across Albert Bridge when I was three. It was pouring with rain but I was so cosy and I remember looking up and seeing my mum's face drenched with rain.

What do you like wearing?
My big white towelling dressing gown. It was a Christmas present and I feel like I'm three years old again, back in the pram on Albert Bridge.
What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you?
I blanked on stage at the Royal Court. The other actors were trying to help but all I could hear was white noise. Gordon Brown was in the audience.
Have you ever stolen anything?
I fill my sock drawer with Elizabethan and medieval socks from whatever job I'm doing.
