During a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, actor Eddie Redmayne revealed some hilarious insights about his new show and fashion choices from the past. Redmayne discussed his role in a new series that explores a tumultuous relationship spanning eight years. He plays the character of Lucy, an emotionally repressed 18-year-old who slowly unravels upon meeting a guy who breaks down her emotional walls.
When asked about revisiting fashion choices from the mid-2000s, Redmayne confessed that it was a nightmare. He vividly remembers his first fitting, feeling nauseated at the sight of low-rise jeans and UGGs. However, as he got further into the fashion of that era, he found himself purchasing Ed Hardy attire, embracing the bold letters, dragons, and flashy designs.
Surprisingly, this conversation about early 2000s fashion led Redmayne to share one highly questionable outfit from his past. Corden pulled up a photo for the audience to see, revealing Redmayne wearing an ensemble that had everyone in stitches. As the audience burst into laughter, Redmayne humorously questioned what he was thinking at the time. He described this particular period as a short-lived and unsuccessful period as a model, with the only magazines he modeled for being so high fashion that no one even read them.
As the photo showed Redmayne wearing women’s Harlequin trousers, he humorously recalled how the stylist zipped him into them, accidentally catching his flesh in the process and leaving a small wound. Adding to the comedic effect, Redmayne mentioned the jacket he was wearing in the picture, which made him appear to have four arms. His facial expression in the photo seemed to say, “kill me” or “get me out of here,” causing an eruption of laughter from the audience.
Despite the embarrassing fashion choices, Redmayne confidently joked that one day he would win an Academy Award. This playful banter with host James Corden added a lively and entertaining twist to the interview.
