Eddie talks about Newt’s costume… & splitting his pants.
“Basically
Newt was described in the first script as ‘he walks his own walk & he’s
quite eccentric & he has this Buster Keaton like quality. When Colleen
& I worked out what his costume was, everything’s a bit short, everything’s
a bit tight. I sort of found his physicality. When I was coming back to the

What better way to start your week than with Eddie Redmayne’s contagious grin? Don’t you love the ways his eyes crinkle when he smiles? This man smiles with his entire face & it’s like a ray of sunshine.
