Eddie Redmayne has been receiving a lot of attention for his role in The Danish Girl, for which he recently received SAG and Golden Globe nominations. Parade Magazine got the chance to sit down with the soon-to-be Fantastic Beasts star, to talk about his acting career. Of course, Fantastic Beasts came up! Though do to the statute of secrecy around the films, not much was said.
You’ve taken on some very dramatic roles. Do you ever want to play something more frivolous?
I’m doing a film at the moment, J.K. Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which couldn’t be more different from playing Lili, but definitely has its own challenges. The thing that drives you as an actor is getting lucky enough to be able to choose to play interesting people, whether they’re real or fictional. I’ve been pretty blessed.
Can you tell us anything about Fantastic Beasts, or are you sworn to secrecy?
You know what? Whenever I hear someone ask about Fantastic Beasts, I feel like there are dudes from Warner Bros. with wands snipering from buildings. All I can say is that J.K. Rowling has written something that is totally fantastical. When I read it, it just made me smile. I had a massive smile across my face as I read it, so I hope we can do it justice.
