12. He’s Perfect for Period Pieces

Eddie is perfect for period dramas. That much has been true for most of his career. He is tall and lanky and has the face that would have been Royalty back in history and so it makes him a great choice for whatever period piece someone is choosing to do.

For example, of all his Oscar nominated roles, not one was set in modern day times. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a movie where Eddie Redmayne is set in his own decade. Well, Jupiter Ascending is the exception but that movie is terrible so everyone forgets it ever existed.

The thing that his team realized early on is that his look is from the times of old. So they capitalized on it. They made sure his career followed his looks and it has paid off significantly for him. He is constantly working and being praised for that work and a big part of it is that he looks like he belongs in every era they place him in.

Maybe it is that he has timeless features but whatever it is, Eddie can handle whatever decade you throw at him. From the 1800s to outer space, he has it covered.
