Eddie Redmayne

[RVN123]

He's come out as saying that he regrets taking the part of Lili Elbe in the Danish Girl, as he thinks it should have gone to a trans actor.

That's another issue, surely it's called 'acting' Eddie?

He has affirmed that TWAW and they 'just want to live their lives out peacefully and it's time to allow them to do so'.

So no-ones being harassed out of their jobs then Eddie? Children aren't being medicalised? Women aren't being told to shut up and be kind, and allow men into their safe and private spaces?

What makes a bloke like Eddie think he has any right to an opinion in something that does not affect him, just because he put on a dress and some lipstick for a role that he now regrets?

I think it's an impossible situation for white, male, straight, middle class actors these days. Seems that all sides are gunning for them and whatever they do will be wrong. I don't disagree with this. I remember Benedict Cumberbatch saying he only ever got cast as his class or above, never lower. It must be frustrating as an actor to be typecast like that. And after all, he didn't choose his class or circumstances. And in fact he went to Harrow on a scholarship. I went to see him in Hamlet at the National Theatre, and afterwards he and the rest of the cast were out with buckets collecting money for refugee children. More power to his elbow and who cares what school he went to or how he talks?

Completely irrelevant but that version of Hamlet was far and away the best I've ever seen.

KimikosNightmare, it might be the ONLY one I've seen… I liked it a lot.
I loved the set too.

“ He certainly should not have pretended to be one of the worlds geniuses in The Theory of Everything.”

Mmm

Does Eddie izzard still play male parts when in boy mode although generally she/her now?

I'm watching The Lost Symbol with Eddie Izzard as a man.

Conveniently Izzard chooses to be in boy mode when performing in a medium which has very few parts for middle aged 'girls'.

Izzard used to be so inspiring.
Clothes don't define me. And then he went all I'm actually a woman.
Then keep taking male roles.
I hate watching him it gives me the rage

No problem with " girl" mode here, I wonder why?

I have no interest in what Eddie Redmayne has to say about anything. That is not to say that I am denigrating the thread - I am not - rather, it is that Mr Redmayne has nothing to say that is worth listening to.

I can’t wait for the next Fantastic Beasts movies - those interviews are going to be interesting especially as the ground is now shifting.
