Eddie Redmayne on sexual boldness in "The Danish Girl"

[@ClaRa124100]

He's beautiful. And I'm not talking about his physical appearance.

[@ClaRa124100]

CosmicVelocity couldn't agree more

[@jennyms1998]

yes, he's a wonderful, magical person

[@marlenekostka5974]

ClaraMarch same... I mean I'm not attracked to men at all but how he speaks and how he treats other people with this respect couldn't be more beautiful

[@bluejay4829]

ClaraMarch I agree 😀😀😍

[@whosace1006]

His personality is beautiful

[@klawis]

He has a golden heart, compassionate and profound views about LGBTQ. I love how he was very educated and very open about the struggles of transgendered people.. Very impressive! He is not just a brilliant actor. He is a man of integrity and moral. Hats off! And we share some views. I love him

[@dwwicca]

What an awful question " do you think there is a little bit of lilli in all men?" Very disrespectful and contradicting. Eddie handled that question very well.

[@15mice31]

I like how he responded to the slightly ignorant interviewer. Like, he calls her Lili pre transition even though the interviewer doesn't and small things like that. It's wonderful to hear. The fact he is so educated is refreshing and as a non binary kid, the fact he recognises gender is a spectrum is just wonderful.

[@roxy-moon659]

ThisIsNotMe I agree with your comment but also wanted to say nice profile pic😂

[@Silverberry23]

omg your username im crying

[@15mice31]

Thanks :)

[@Vousie]

To me, the whole calling her Einar or Lili thing just doesn't matter - she's the same person whatever name she goes by.

[@15mice31]

It's more just disrespectful and can cause dysphoria for the person. It's like still referring to her using he/him pronouns. It's not her anymore.

[@BOOiscareyou197]

I love how very educated Eddie has become on transgender issues and what it is to be transgender both in history and today. I'm especially happy that he talks about the greater struggle of trans women of colour as that is an important and often ignored part of the mainstream discussion of trans issues. I think Eddie Redmayne portrayed this role beautifully and with such amazing understanding and respect. He is really helping to open the doors to the understanding of what it is to be transgender and how to support the trans community the best we, the cis community, can. I think Redmayne is a blessing and not just a phenominal actor but also a truly good person.

[@sojinkim8495]

Cool

[@tokyomoonchild]

Yes! You're absolutely right. :)

[@jennyms1998]

This is so beautiful. The way he actually admits how he was ignorant previous to the film and only understands that there is more than male and female, that takes some courage and extreme honesty.

[@williamsolufemi1820]

Eddie was very intentional with his responses. no throwing words around, carefully thought out before enunciation. Brilliant.

[@kasaithefiremage3908]

I think that the danish girl should be showed in schools

[@kasaithefiremage3908]

Proud Hufflepuff it might just help to stop all of this transphobia, if people really got to know what it's like

[@isaacs8783]

Kasai the Fire Mage I think it's slightly to R-rated to show in schools but we really need to start to talk about LGBTQ in schools. Why do people have to be so horrible?

[@Lundy.Fastnet.Irish_Sea]

It should be okay to show in high schools at least. However, with the US school system, it's definitely possible that the parents in more conservative areas refuse or protest against it.

[@eowynsalvador6664]

Don't judge me, but I think Eddie Redmayne makes a very beautiful woman

[@armanaksit7954]

Who can judge you? :) You are right

[@mahrukhmoghal895]

I love how passionate he is when talking about Lili

[@gizira_leon]

Mahrukh Moghal yes!

[@claratiefengraber]

I love how educated Eddie is about the trans topic and I really wish that everyone was.

[@hinahinananoha7783]

Dominic Very little percentage of people are transphobs. People just demand some insane level of support for trans people which is not realistic or fair.

[@hinahinananoha7783]

IsMyNameSam People all over? Any facts please? Sure some killing and discrimination happens, but what left is pushing is insane. Insurance covered transition, children trans, several genders, ton of new pronouns etc. Besides, seeing how much anyone who has smallest question is called homophobe, I doubt most people experience real danger.

[@hinahinananoha7783]

IsMyNameSam I don't owe trans people anything. That seem to be your misunderstanding. I have done a lot of research, which I didn't have to. And if I say that many trans people overreact that is my observation.

[@hinahinananoha7783]

IsMyNameSam I am sure I haven't asked rude questions. Besides, if you are identifying with something as controversial as transgender, you have to have tough skin even for questions that you might find insensitive. As for owing, I don't see people talking all people's rights, mostly minorities, so I guess they don't feel responsibility for humanity?:) I certainly don't feel that. I like to understand and help somewhat, but all humanity?:) No. As for statistics, you seem to be mostly whiny about it, without addressing questions like trans prostitution. Sure many transgender women who are prostitutes get killed or attacked, but so do normal prostitutes. That's why we generally don't recommend such behavior.

[@hinahinananoha7783]

IsMyNameSam Backtracking?:) I suppose you feel you are out of arguments:))) And if you can't even talk honestly about the stupidity of selling your body, especially when you are a transgender, and in many cases lie about it to people who see you as a thing as it is, you are not worth wasting my time anymore. Just try to understand that no one is going to support trans issues more then now while trans people put themselves in danger.

[@석민주-b7m]

This interview is the reason why I don't simply like him but admire him. He has a very detailed knowledge about status of transgender people-their struggles, discrimination still present- and knows that there's still a lot of work to do, and he admits he was totally ignorant before filming, which isn't an easy thing for most people to do. And like a lot of people mentioned below, he always calls her Lili, meaning he's accepting her as a woman from the start, not a man who turned into a woman. But the most thrilling part for me was when he talked about 'masculine' and 'feminine'-calling these words as 'boxing' terms. It moved me so much that I was on the verge of tears. He's not just a wonderful actor, but a very nice, thoughtful human being.

[@tahsat966]

Redmayne himself had been attached to the movie since before Les Mis, directors had been trying to get it made for upwards of 15 years. Which may explain why they chose a big actor who could get it publicity rather than a trans actor, along with Eddie already being attached and interested in the role. I admire how much research he did on the subject after it was finally given funding for the film to be made. I seriously respect how he was able to admit how he was ignorant about the trans community before he started doing research on the role, and how (even now) he admits that playing the role as a cis man may not have been the correct thing to do but he still loved it because it was such a learning experience for him. I loved how he reached out to people in the trans community and truly tried to connect with them, even now he still keeps up with trans icons and people in the lgbt community. (Specifically a certain youtuber called Jackson Bird).

[@diansyamsuwir]

thank god Hollywood has Eddie!

[@hazelwalsh1569]

No doubt Eddie has done a lot of research into this subject after getting the part as Lili, the reason why he has become so well versed and so familiar with the subject. I wouldn't be surprised if another coveted award will be granted to him for this role. He is so well deserving. He is a class on his own.

[@damndaniel8187]

I love how educated and passionate he is about transgender people. So much respect for him.

As a transgender person myself this film made me both sad / crying and happy. It spread a real problem that needs to be dealt with urgently. I've faced so so so so much discrimination for being trans. This film was absolutely beautiful. Why didn't he get an Oscar ????

[@katherinechau3833]

He got an Oscar the year before. They would not give him another one even though he well deserved it!

[@estelle1091]

I love how after the interviewer referred to Lilly as her dead name and "he" Eddie just so subtly addressed it by making a point to answer the question with "when Lilly was posing as..." That was just so beautiful, subtle, and just...

Eddie is a wonderful person. Every movie he played in changed him a bit and it taught him something new. It's really hard to describe him, but you can say he's a true hufflepuff. Kind, compassionate, honest, etc. It would be really awesome, if everybody would take something from Eddie's personality. I feel like this world does not deserve such a beautiful person like Eddie.

When i first saw him in Pillars of the earth i was impressed by his beauty. Last friday when i got to see The danish girl i was impressed by his talent at portraying this incredible character. Now i am impressed by what a good hearted, open minded, educated and brilliant person he is. I was shocked by that statistic about suicide rate among transgender people: i'm not an english native speaker so i hope i just misunderstood it! It's not that nowadays in the 2010s in so-called modern world 4 transgender people out of 10 have such a hard time that they eventually give up on life, is it? Please tell me i got a few words wrong.

[@sybariticcupboardrat3763]

Wow. I know there are other better written comments than mine, but I'm impressed with Eddie Redmayne. He is open enough to explain his own thought process when he took the role and learned about this aspect of humanity that he wasn't knowledgeable about before. He saw that the real experiences of trans people were important to portray to the point of influencing the script. He is sensitive to the fact that trans people have an innate feeling of self identity, and that it is unique to the individual. If only everyone were so compassionate.

[@AlyxJinHodgin]

I love how, though at the time of the film he says he was very uneducated on trans issues and the whole transgender concept, that he seems so understanding of it now. Some people take upwards of 15 or 20 years to grasp the concept and begin behaving in the "appropriate" manner, but it seems as if he caught on quickly, like those people who immediately use the correct pronouns for others when they are corrected. I love those people.

[@natalia-ib5uf]

He is a man with capital letters!!! A good man, an intelligent and brilliant person that understands all what people doesn’t !

[@zoharsarig9474]

Hes so well educated and respectful. I watched plenty of interviews with Eddie about the danish girl and he always mentions the help he got from trans-women, and how he's glad he had h=gotten this role especially because he learned so much about the trans community. I wish all hetero men were like him, what an amazing human being.

[@davegtar]

Eddie being cis male makes me proud to be a transgender female.

[@adamhussain3928]

Maddie you dont have to answer this. but were you born like that?

[@davegtar]

100 subs With no vids wah?... well yeah. being transgender you are are born that way. A transvestite is a man who dresses like a woman for sexual pleasure and normally figure it out later that they like that. So yeah I was born female minded in a male body.

[@pestobea]

100 subs With no vids some people know from a very young age that they're trans and others find out later on in life that what they are portrayed is not right for them, for me, I was 13 when I actually realised I was not meant to live my life as a girl and that I was a boy.

can I ask something? If you are MtF transgendered or vice versa, do you refer to yourself as a trans woman if you transitioned from male to female and then trans man if you transitioned from female to male? I'm curious
