Eddie Redmayne had extra reason to celebrate at the Oscars on Sunday after becoming an uncle hours earlier.
The 34-year-old actor won the coveted Best Actor gong last year for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything and being nominated this time around for his performance as transgender pioneer Lili Elbe could mean he walks home with a consecutive trophy, when the winners are announced. “I’m quite a pathetic reader but there’s going to come a moment – once all this madness is over – when I start educating myself!” “I’m so inappropriately dressed, though, because previous year it rained and I was anxious it would rain again so I wore velvet and now I’m sweating like a fiend”.
And it appears he’ll have to wait to find out whether he and wife Hannah are expecting a boy or a girl.
It’s his biggest rival in the Best Actor category at the 88th Academy Awards happening on February 28, but that hasn’t stopped Eddie Redmayne graciously admitting that Leo DiCaprio should win instead of him! “It’s been an fantastic year and I’ve been very, very lucky”, said Eddie to The Telegraph.
