34-year old English actor and model, Eddie Redmayne, recently revealed his biggest challenge while filming the movie Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them. While we imagined a million other possibilities, we were not ready for his answer: the green screen!
Apparently, the Les Miserables actor does not really have a very good imagination…
“My fear was doing a lot of green screen, because I have quite a dodgy (unreliable) imagination,” Redmayne told the New York Times.
To overcome this challenge, he got an animator to get into character as one of the beasts and act it out on set, so that he could really get a feel of the CGI character and perform in front of a blank green screen.
The Theory of Everything actor also revealed his favourite beast from the movie.
“My inner 9-year-old is obsessed with the Swooping Evil,” Redmayne said. “He’s like this spiky ball with a thread that hangs down from Newt’s finger. When you spin him out, almost like a yo-yo, he unfurls into this terrifying creature.”
Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them will hit theatres worldwide on November 18.
