Eddie Redmayne Redmayne reveals how he prepared for his transgender role in The Danish Girl.
Many actors would simply memorize the script before heading on to set to film scenes for a movie or TV show. But, Oscar winning actor Eddie Redmayne is not just any actor. Recently, Eddie Redmayne revealed how he prepared for the transgender role that many critics are saying will land Redmayne another Academy Award.
Last year Eddie Redmayne won the Oscars for his portrayal as the theoretical astrophysist Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything. However, this year, Redmayne pushed the envelope even further in the movie The Danish Girl.
In a recent interview with the NYPost, Redmayne broke down his method and acting process for the movie The Danish Girl and it’s pretty amazing.
Eddie explained he traveled through transgender communities, studied transgender art, poetry, stories, and meet every transgender person he could found and their significant others.
“To prepare for this part, I read people’s stories, studied their art, collected their thoughts, met transgender communities in LA. I immersed myself in their lives and knew every transgender woman I could. I met their partners. Redmayne added, “Everyone’s generosity in educating me was enormous. Very giving, they’d say, ‘No question I won’t answer in order to explain to you.’
The Danish Girl surrounds the story of Einar Wegener. With support from his loving wife Gerda (Alicia Vikander), artist Einar Wegener (Eddie Redmayne) prepares to undergo one of the first sex-change operations.
