Eddie in the LA Times
EDDIE REDMAYNE
The eyes! The hair! Once you’ve seen Redmayne-and if you spotted his red mane in the hotly followed miniseries Pillars of the Earth, you know exactly what we mean-forgetting him doesn’t come easily. This year, the 29-year-old Londoner officially graduates to big-screen stardom in My Week with Marilyn, playing a starstruck production assistant who helps a living legend escape her demons. As for his own inner boogeymen, Redmayne prefers to keep them close. “I like to scare myself,” he says. “I’m doing Richard II on the London stage at the end of the year-a terrifying prospect. It’s sort of a healthy emotion to live with for an actor-that slight anxiety. It seeps into us and keeps us on our toes.”
