Putting aside the fact that acting is entirely based around people pretending to be other people, the argument for only trans actors play trans roles is a poor one. The movie either won’t be made or won’t be seen. With Eddie playing the role, the movie will be a big hit, seen by millions, allowing the trans story to be told and brought to the masses.

The way he plays shy and introverted so extremely well like with Hawking, Scamander and Lili Elbe is AMAZING considering the amount of energy that continually wants to burst through his skin at every second.

So you think that introverted people are not energetic? Do you know that many things can be combined in a person, one can be both shy or reserved and yet passionate and energetic when it comes to things they love? Most people are NOT just ''introverts'' or extraverts, no, most people are all of that in different settings and circumstances. Stop living by pop psychology, learn about real people instead.

I’ve never really knew him until I saw him on The Danish Girl. That was my first movie for him and during that moment, I was very impressed. He portrayed the character very well and I was very captivated by his performance despite watching him for the first time. I agree on him for the needs of the trans people itself telling their own story and represent the community. But personally, I think he did justice to the character.

[@j.a.snyder7416]

I’m so very glad to hear him directly addressing the less than ideal fact of his being cast for the role of Lili as opposed to a trans actress; I think that he brought a lot of integrity to the role and the fact that he was cast probably did make the film more widely received than it might otherwise have been. But I am very grateful to him for acknowledging the sensitivity of the situation and recognizing his privilege within the system.

[@averyprofessionalmieke]

@TAYLOR BELL that's not the point. this is actually a widely known problem since a lot of film makers pick cis actors instead of trans actors because they "don't look trans enough," which is extremely transphobic and stupid. I personally love that he got cast because he portrayed the character so brilliantly - like all his characters - and since the whole transition, beginning with Lilly having a male body, is portrayed, it does make sense to cast a male actor. BUT it's very important to addresses the issue and I love that he did because, as I said, a lot of film makers are quite disrespectful about this, if not necessarily intentionally, and aren't giving real trans people the representation they deserve. have a nice day x

[@gLeeksFF]

Don't see what's wrong with him portraying a Trans woman. Isn't the whole part of acting to pretend to be someone you're not? Would hate to be a Trans actor and only limited to play Trans characters, one should be judged on their abilities

@@gLeeksFF I don't think the problem is non trans people being cast as trans characters in general. The issue is casting cis actors because trans actors "don't look trans enough," which is an excuse some filmmakers have used in the past and that's just offensive.

On the other hand, years later, I recognize the importance of trans people telling their own stories. So it's a difficult situation. Glad he acknowledges it too.

[@FleurDeCersier]

Luna So you're trans? Because I would like to hear what a trans person thinks about my thoughts. Because what I thought when I heard about this debate is that you obviously want to make a movie as realistic as possible and back then they obviously didn't have hrt. So I thought it would make most sense to have a male actor in the lead who has all the features that are typically deemed as male or not? Sorry if I miss something about it. I'm not trying to be offensive, I'm just trying to understand

[@femmefuntime]

Boo Boo the problem with casting cis men to play trans women and cis women to play trans men is that it encourages the belief that trans women are men and that trans men are women. (And when transphobic beliefs are encouraged it hurts trans people, whether that’s through unfair treatment, bigoted legislation, or outright violent attacks)

[@kl-1447]

I have a question: does a cis person playing a trans person maybe depend a bit on research for the part? Because I personally don't think that cis people getting cast for trans roles is not usually a good result as it sometimes comes off as insensitive/reinforcing stereotypes, but I wonder if putting more research and time into the role is a bigger component. I'm not trans so I have no bearing on this subject and was curious and mean no disrespect.

[@ILoveGreysonChance97]

Eddie Redmayne did such an amazing job as Stephen Hawkings in The Theory of Everything. When I saw for the first time I loved and I cried. When I was watching the movie I didn’t who Stephen Hawkings was until I searched him. I also loved him as Newt Scamander in both Fantastic Beasts movies.

I love that he looks like an adorable school boy talking about his favourite subject! ❤️

Eddie Redmayne and Emilia Clarke are two of the most adorable people ever!

[@mrd4518]

Okay but did he just casually and spontaneously do one of the best Australian accents I've heard a non-Australian do???

[@kramrollin69]

Funny....I thought the same thing when I heard it....so subtle. Just after he mentioned Toni Collette. Sure seems to have worked with a lot of Aussies. Probably something has rubbed off. He might be a new Hollywood Superhero in the making ;).

[@slaw1990]

I was thinking the same thing, I was like wait what that is going on here?! It’s the first time I’ve heard an impression that wasn’t shithouse... 🤷🏽‍♂️🥳

He loves swearing and I am slightly bummed that he regrets the role in Danish Girl, his performance was amazing

[@hunrenes]

agreed, its my favourite role that he’s done he was outstanding

[@PowerToolsofJustice]

I don't think it's so much that he regrets it, but rather that he truly acknowledges the complexity of the issue of him as a cis man playing a trans woman contrasted with his own personal journey.

[@femmefuntime]

I think he regrets it because he recognized the problem with casting cis men to play trans women and cis women to play trans men is that it encourages the belief that trans women are men and that trans men are women. (And when transphobic beliefs are encouraged it hurts trans people, whether that’s through unfair treatment, bigoted legislation, or outright violent attacks)

[@kaylilaardryani2780]

[@JackieBorelli]

can we talk about Eddie's bomb micro-impressions throughout?

[@ingridnorman7919]

First time I saw him in a role was sometime 2010 -ish in the mini series "Pillars of the Earth" and became quite the fan but didn't check up more on him and didn't hear anything either. Was really surprised when he popped up in Les Mis a few years later but super awesome he's come so far in his career.

agree... it was here I was introduce to him first time. I love his role...

[@oliviabennington8551]

I've loved him since I saw him in Les Mis. I saw Danish Girl before I heard a word of the controversy of cis people playing trans roles. While I do agree that we have enough roles And they deserve to be represented accurately- i will say that I think Eddie did an incredible job in that role and I really enjoyed it. I think he really knew the importance of the role and he did it fantastic justice. I'm proud of him for aknowleding in this that it might not have been his place to play that role, but theres no going back. He did it and as a result a conversation began that led to trans roles being played by trans people now, so maybe it was meant to happen.

[@femmefuntime]

Olivia Bennington I think it helped him realize the problem with casting cis men to play trans women and cis women to play trans men is that it encourages the belief that trans women are men and that trans men are women. (And when transphobic beliefs are encouraged it hurts trans people, whether that’s through unfair treatment, bigoted legislation, or outright violent attacks)
