Redmayne joins the good and great at Madame Tussauds
OSCAR-winning actor Eddie Redmayne has been immortalised in wax at Madame Tussauds.
The Theory Of Everything star, who bagged an Academy Award for his portrayal of theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, is the latest addition to the London museum.
Redmayne’s wax figure is dressed in a navy blue and maroon checked suit, a white shirt and navy tie.
He is standing casually with one hand in his pocket, while the other is holding a glass of white wine.
Redmayne, who is to return to the big screen in the sequel to Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, will today be heard making his animated film debut in the new Aardman movie Early Man.
The actor lends his voice to caveman Dug in the new project from the creators of Wallace and Gromit.
The big-screen comedy also features Tom Hiddleston as the villainous Lord Nooth and Game Of Thrones actress Maisie Williams as Goona, a “gallant and indomitable rebel”.
Redmayne, whose wife Hannah Bagshawe is expecting the couple’s second child, previously said he was nervous he would get sacked from the job.
He said: “It’s happened before.
“Many a bad experience. I’ve been fired from many a voiceover job.
“People were like ‘oh yeah we want this person to do a film’ and then you stand in a booth and open your mouth and they go ‘oh, oh he doesn’t actually have a very good voice, does he?”’
Early Man is released in cinemas around the UK today.
