DON’T ASK EDDIE REDMAYNE TO MODEL

We all know that designers give celebrities expensive dresses and suits to flaunt on red carpets and at big PR events in hopes that it will stimulate interest in their fashions and increase sales. Celebrities often mention their designers names whether the press ask about it or not. Designers might think twice before dressing actor Eddie Redmayne because his red carpet “flaunting” expertise is minimal at best. He’s wearing a perfectly nice but unremarkable blue suit at the Motion Picture Museum gala, but he looks excruciatingly uncomfortable posing in it. Can’t figure out what to do with his hands OR his feet. (Or his FACE!) Posing provocatively is NOT his thing…

ALICIA VIKANDER IS THE HOT NEW ACTRESS OF THE YEAR

It was surprising to learn that Alicia Vikander, who starred with Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl, is Swedish. Granted, she’s quite beautiful, but she’s also whimsical and has a very powerful personality. Her accent is almost nonexistent. In the film she plays the adorable and talented wife that Eddie’s character always wanted to BE. We weren’t so fond of Eddie’s character, but no one could have done a better job with that difficult role. And we DO love his plaid suit.

EDDIE REDMAYNE: IT’S NOT EASY BEING A WOMAN

Eddie Redmayne all smiles as he leaves at Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday.

We’re not sure how we feel about “The Theory of Everything” star Eddie Redmayne playing a transgender woman in his next move The Danish Girl. It would be far more engrossing to have an actual transgender woman play the part. Eddie’s character is based on the first woman to have sex reassignment surgery back in 1931 so the fashions and visuals will be pleasant to look at. It’s hard to beat Felicity Huffman’s transgender character in Transamerica but Eddie is already learning how to move and gesture like a woman. Someday there might be a movie about an Olympic sports hero who had sex change surgery.
