He is the most adorable and nicest person ever. After ten minutes of getting to know each other, buying lunch (he orders salmon and noodles), crisps and diet coke, I already feel that:Ī. “Yeah I know, I’ve just finished this film called Pillars of the Earth in Hungary and had to dye my hair”. When he had warned me the day before, I actually thought he was joking. “So you do actually have Ginger hair”, I gasp. He looks much laid back and gives me the warmest welcome ever. As Michael Jackson would say, this is it. Moments later, a stunning man with flaming ginger hair arrives. To distract myself, I flicker through art books, it’s always nice to pretend to be cultured because honestly, I was more concerned about my next encounter than cubism. This art gallery also functions as rehearsal spaces, where Eddie is currently practising for his new play “Red”, a study of abstract expressionist painter Mark Rothko wrestling with fame. The place has a very modern feel to it and is simply…white. I try acting casual as I enter the Jerwood Space. Farewell Jude Law (I know it’s hard) and hello Eddie! … This Old Etonian (that’s how they say it, he’s not actually old…), turned Cambridge Graduate, is now one of Britain’s most aspiring actors. I couldn’t possibly cancel on Eddie Redmayne. As I listened to THE song that gets me in the mood, also known as Haddaway’s “What is love?”, I took a deep breath. To step in or not to step in? That is the question. So you can imagine the state of my stomach before entering Cafe 171 of Southwark’s Jerwood Space. Meeting a rising actor who has played Angelina Jolie’s son in The Good Shepherd is a completely different matter. Meeting someone you’ve never met before can sometimes be awkward.
