Eddie interviewed about 'The Danish Girl' and how he deals with his success - video



“I count my lucky stars, really…It’s beyond expectation…Yeah! It absolutely is. I just wanted to do plays, and see what happened, see if I could keep up employment…you know… there are so many…so many people wanna be actors and there are such few parts…tricky…tricky tray…so frankly getting to remain employed…but to play people as extraordinary as Lili, is a great…very lucky.”

“Oh God!…I haven’t watched that back, because I think I was just…as I remember things, so overwhelmed 
with like…I think I behaved like a child. I’m sure it’s pretty embarrassing…It like…makes me sweat even thinking about it, but…It was an exceptional thing, and I don’t…noone tells you how one’s meant to behave, you just sort of…You’re trying to take it all in, but it’s too much stimulus to really be able to content with I think.”

Lumos foundraiser event, Fantastic Beasts news

Yesterday J.K. Rowling participated in a live chat broadcast on Facebook to launch the latest initiative of her charity, Lumos, called We Are Lumos Worldwide!
As described on Lumos’s official website,
We Are Lumos Worldwide is
"[…] an exciting series of global events to help
some of the world’s most vulnerable children leave orphanages and regain their right to a family life."
At the official Lumos event, Rowling spoke with host Lauren Laverne about why the work that Lumos does to end the institutionalization of children worldwide is so important.

In support of the new initiative Eddie Redmayne attended the Lumos charity event too.

I think Eddie wore the same double-breasted jacket in October and November 2014


and I think he wore this at Jimmy Fallon's Tonight Show too.

Entertainment Weekly confirmed that Eddie will be introducing a “sneak peek” at the two-day pop culture
festival being held Oct. 29-30 in California.
EW PopFest just got even more fantastic. In addition to special screenings, signings and previews at the
two-day event, Eddie Redmayne will take the stage to reveal an exclusive sneak peek of the Harry Potter
prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Potterheads can look forward to a Q&A with the film’s
star ahead of the preview that will be screened for attendees on Sunday, Oct. 30.

The dates coincide with the BAFTA Britannia Awards in Los Angeles, so here’s hoping he can pay
tribute to Felicity Jones, who is being honored as British Star of the Year! (via)
The annual gala celebration will take place on Friday, October 28, 2016 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

bespokeredmayne: Newt-Tina-Jacob-Queenie: Here’s your Fantastic Beasts quartet,
soon to become film legends.

Just sending out a little update regarding the Fantastic Beasts premiere. The 15th Nov is now looking more
towards the New York premiere date. The London premiere will also be the world premiere therefore
it's possible (not confirmed) that the date could be Monday 7th November.
(We are waiting for a confirmation)


Technical note: tumblr changed the url of many gifs. It's possible, that some pics are missing from my older posts.
I check the posts and fix them, but it takes for a while. Until then check the source links for the pictures.

Russian Psychologies Magazine cover and interview

There's an interesting Eddie Redmayne interview in the Russian magazine's 2016 September issue:
Eddie Redmayne: “I’m boring. What’s interesting is what’s around me”
Thanks to Ieva, who translated the long article to English.
You can read the full interview in her new blog here

Виктория Белопольская (Victoria Belopolyskaya) talked to Eddie
in London a few days before his daughter Iris was born in June.

For the cover they used a beautiful photo from 
the 'Hick' Portrait Session at TIFF 2011 (x)
London Magazine used a photo from the same 
Quote from the interview:

ER: I’ve never been so eager to meet a woman in my life! I’ve already in love with her! You know, I’m afraid of becoming this crazy father who terrorises his daughter with attention; however, all signs are pointing towards that. With her birth, everything, absolutely everything is going to change.

Psychologies: And what is exactly going to change? You’ve already got your life sorted—you’ve got your career. You’ve got an Oscar for ‘The Theory of Everything’, a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, theatrical awards: Tony and Olivier. You’ve already got a name. What could she change? She may make your life more beautiful, fuller but changing it?

ER:.. I think she’s going to change me. She’s going to be the centre of it all. I’m going to be responsible for her, at least to a certain moment in her life, as a parent. All of my responsibilities so far have been professional and social in nature, yet this is going to be something imparted by the nature itself. I’ve been longing for that kind of responsibility. And I’m going to be less afraid.

Psychologies: You? Afraid?

ER: Yes, I’m afraid. I’m afraid before the shooting and during it. Trembling. Not a long a time ago I could burst into tears after reading a harsh review. And it had nothing to do with being a perfectionist or worshipping success. But I’m afraid, true. I’m afraid of not performing well enough, of not getting to the point where I can say: yeah, that’s it. In movies, you’ve only got a certain amount of hours to get it right, and you can’t change anything, and that’s what terrifies me the most. It’s probably something to do with the fact that I don’t have professional drama education and natural defence mechanisms that it imparts. I’m an art historian and basically came to the profession straight from amateur theatre.

Excellent interview, make sure you read the rest of it here
