Eddie Redmayne is a British actor. Redmayne has appeared in such films as My Week With Marilyn, Les Misérables, The Danish Girl and The Theory of Everything, winning a lead actor Oscar for the latter. He portrayed Newton Scamander in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and reprised his role in the sequel, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
Background
Ethnicity:
Eddie Redmayne's ancestry includes English, Irish, Scottish, Northern Irish, and Welsh.
Eddie Redmayne was born on January 6, 1982, in London, England, United Kingdom. His father, Richard, is a businessman and his mother, Patricia, runs a relocation business. Eddie has a younger brother, an older brother as well as a half-brother and a half-sister. His paternal great-grandfather was Sir Richard Redmayne, a civil and mining engineer. Redmayne is the only member of his family to follow a career in acting, and also modeled during his teen years.
Education
Redmayne attended the prestigious Eaton House, Colet Court, and then, Eton College and was in the same class as Prince William. At Trinity College, Cambridge University, he studied art history. Redmayne, while still a student, landed his first substantial stage role in the 2002 production of Twelfth Night. He wrote his thesis on artist Yves Klein and the unique shade of blue Klein used in his works, despite his colorblindness: "I'm color blind, but I can pick out that blue anywhere," he told W magazine.
One of five children, Redmayne is the first in his family to break into acting. He made his stage debut in his early teens, appearing in a London production of Oliver! directed by Sam Mendes. As he explained to the Telegraph newspaper, "I was workhouse boy number 40. It was such a minor part that I didn’t meet Sam Mendes."
In fact, one of his early influences was the musical Les Misérables, which he saw with his family when he was around the age of 7. He and his older brother James often sang the songs from the show together. Acting continued through school and university, including performing with the National Youth Music Theatre.
After completing his degree, Redmayne gave himself a year to make it as an actor. He soon landed a role in The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia? a play by Edward Albee. His performance earned him accolades, including the Evening Standard Newcomer Award in 2004. Two years later, Redmayne had a supporting film role in The Good Shepherd with Robert De Niro and Angelina Jolie. He also found work on several English television projects, including such historical dramas as Elizabeth I (2005). (He later starred in Elizabeth: The Golden Age, made for the big screen in 2007 with Cate Blanchett in the title role.)
Redmayne continued to land an interesting array of roles. In 2007's Savage Grace, he played a son who has an incestuous relationship with his mother (Julianne Moore). Redmayne then played a Southern teenager on an unusual road trip in 2008's The Yellow Handkerchief with William Hurt and Kristen Stewart. And that same year, he played Scarlett Johansson's husband in The Other Boleyn Girl.
On the London stage, the actor gave a stellar performance in Red opposite Alfred Molina. Molina played artist Mark Rothko, with Redmayne portraying his assistant. The play, which soon transferred to Broadway, earned Redmayne an Olivier Award and a Tony Award in 2010. The following year, he starred opposite Michelle Williams in My Week With Marilyn. The film is inspired by the true-life experiences of a production assistant on The Prince and the Showgirl (1957) and his encounters with legendary sex symbol Marilyn Monroe.
In 2012, Redmayne fulfilled a childhood dream with a role in the film adaptation of the musical Les Misérables. He told People magazine that he "wanted to be Gavroche," a young child who supports the revolutionaries, when he first saw the musical as a kid. But as an adult, Redmayne landed the part of Marius, an idealistic revolutionary who falls in love with Cosette. He had campaigned hard for the film, sending in a video of himself singing one of Marius's signature tunes.
The box office success of Les Misérables helped advance Redmayne's career. Before long, he landed the lead role in the 2014 Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything, largely based on the memoir by Jane Hawking, the scientist's first wife. Audiences raved about his performance as the groundbreaking scientist, known for his contributions to the fields of physics and cosmology. Hawking was also diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis when he was 21 years old.
To play Hawking, Redmayne told National Public Radio that he "went to a neurologic clinic in London" where "they educated me on ALS and I met maybe 30 or 40 people who suffer from this horrific disease." Redmayne's efforts paid off on screen, as he transformed himself in the film to represent the changes that Hawking went through during his life. Jane is played by Felicity Jones in the film, which covers much of Jane's and Stephen's relationship. The portrayal was a stupendous critical success for the still blossoming actor, with Redmayne winning both a Golden Globe and an Academy Award in 2015.
Redmayne continues to work on an array of projects, including a villainous role in Jupiter Ascending, the early 2015 Andy and Lana Wachowski science-fiction film. That year he also starred in The Danish Girl as painter Lili Elbe, portraying a real-world figure struggling to establish an identity as a transgender woman in a highly restrictive time. Working opposite Alicia Vikander, who portrayed Lili's spouse, Redmayne again earned both Golden Globe and Oscar lead actor nominations.
In 2016, Eddie Redmayne starred as a wizard and "magizoologist" Newt Scamander in the Harry Potter spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which was produced and written by author J.K. Rowling in her screenplay debut.
In 2018, Redmayne starred in the stop-motion animated film Early Man and reprised his role as Newt Scamander in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald.
Most recently, he played scientist James Glaisher in The Aeronauts (2019), alongside Felicity Jones.

Redmayne is a Christian. He said in an interview: "I grew up, I sang a lot in choirs when I was a kid so I was often in church and then I studied the history of art, so there was a lot of symbolism of Christian iconography as a massive part of my youth. My faith, I’m Christian, but I see it as a journey and a long, sort of extensive one and dialogue constantly. I suppose I’m a religious person but not sort of massively."
Eddie Redmayne said a few words during the funeral of renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. The actor, who played the scientist on the big screen, read a Bible passage from Ecclesiastes in his send-off for Hawking.
Politics
When Eddie Redmayne was asked what kind of spell he’d cast on Donald Trump, he skipped the jokes and delivered a thoughtful answer, about how he'd grant both Trump and the American public some time for reflection.
"I feel like what I would do is one of the stun spells - you’re stunned for a moment, and you have time to think," he said. "Because I think that’s what the world needs, and it’s been such a frenzy of a campaign, and it’s been so dirty, and I think certainly from across the pond the notion of politicians as noble people that we can look up to and our kids can look up to has been complicated."
"And I know that’s politics, but what’s happened is that it’s become so dirty, that now the election’s happened and we’ve had a moment of democracy, time needs to be taken to work out what really happens now," he continued.

Personality
Redmayne once tried to make the switch from an iPhone back to an “old-fashioned” non-smart phone. He felt like he was spending too much time on his iPhone, and thought that by using an older phone with no access to his email, he would be able to appreciate the little things about life a bit more. Unfortunately, he was spending more time on his computer checking said emails, and wound up going back to the trusty iPhone.
Redmayne took quite a while to get himself ready to play Hawking on screen. In addition to losing 15 pounds for the role, he had to change the way he controlled his body and its movements. He spent four months with a dancer, as well as ALS patients, to get those movements exact. He even had a chart that depicted when Hawking’s muscles started to go on him.
He occasionally pays the London rent of struggling actors: "I get letters from people trying to go to drama school and needing to pay their rent. And so that’s something I occasionally do. It’s impossibly expensive to live in London."
Physical Characteristics:
Redmayne is colorblind, though not in the usual sense of the term. “For example, I’m shooting a scene, and you have to hit a mark on the floor, and it’s a red marker on green grass,” he explains. “With my peripheral vision, I haven’t got a chance. If I look down, I can see the difference between the red and the green, but I don’t know how to explain it to people.” He also admits that his wife sometimes helps him when picking out clothes to wear.
