Yesterday while watching THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7, I had a eureka moment & began to research my new theory. My excitement grew as I realised I was onto something. This doesn't happen often, so please, give it up for my latest opus "Eddie Redmayne Likes To Roll His Sleeves Up".

In the movie I noticed that in several scenes, Eddie Redmayne had his sleeves rolled up. I thought to myself that this felt jarring for some reason, and felt like I had seen this before.

And so was born my theory, which is as follows: Eddie Redmayne likes to roll his sleeves up in real life, so much so that he makes sure it happens to almost all his characters on screen. Here are some photos of Eddie Redmayne irl.

And some more

You start to get the picture

Eddie Redmayne, I'm convinced of it, simply loves to roll his sleeves up.

And that's fine! So do I! But my theory is that Eddie Redmayne has recklessly gone to great lengths to ensure that his film characters ALSO are the sort of person who loves to roll their sleeves up. And I think I have caught him out.

Here he is in:
MY WEEK WITH MARILYN
SAVAGE GRACE
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES

Here he is in:
LIKE MINDS
THE YELLOW HANDKERCHIEF
GLORIOUS 39
POWDER BLUE

And finally, in:
FANTASTIC BEASTS AND WHERE TO FIND THEM
THE DANISH GIRL
THE AERONAUTS

This isn't to say Eddie Redmayne never wears a full sleeve. You can find plenty of photos of him with normal sleeves. But I am certain that he simply loves to roll up his sleeves, and I firmly believe it has had an impact on the character-building work in his career as an actor.
