Eddie Redmayne revealed his brilliant strategy for avoiding attention in public.
The Fantastic Beasts star talked about his attempts to lead a normal life and move around the city undetected in an interview with The Times.
It is important to note that the 42-year-old actor, his wife Hannah, and their two children, six-year-old Luke and eight-year-old Iris, reside in London.
“Well, I know individuals who pull away from normality, but I live in London and get around like everybody else,” he stated to the newspaper.
“I occasionally get stopped for photos, but the alternative is to travel everywhere in cars, which is bloody costly and takes forever,” the Academy Award winner continued.

“The second you do, people know you – but for me, you can make famous of what you want,” Actor from Theory of Everything added.
Early Life and Education of Eddie Redmayne
On January 6, 1982, Edward John David Redmayne was born in Westminster, London. His father, Richard Redmayne, is a corporate finance entrepreneur, and his mother, Patricia (née Burke), owns a moving company.
Sir Richard Redmayne (1865–1955), a mining and civil engineer who played a key role in improving mine safety in the early 1900s, was his paternal great-grandfather.
Sir Richard also supervised an investigation into a Boots experiment that reduced the workweek to give employees a 48-hour weekend.
The results showed that the employees were happier, healthier, and less likely to miss work, and he pushed for the industry as a whole to follow this practice.
He has a younger brother, an older half-brother named Charlie Redmayne, who is the CEO of HarperCollins’ UK branch, a half-sister, and an older brother named James Redmayne.
Redmayne was awarded a choral scholarship at St. Paul’s Juniors (previously Colet Court), where he sang with the St. Paul’s Choir after attending Eaton House.
He then received a music scholarship to Eton College, where he was in the same year as Prince William. Redmayne began attending Jackie Palmer Stage School at the age of ten when he found his passion for singing and acting.
He continued to Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied the history of art with a focus on surrealism and Venetian architecture, graduating in 2003 with 2:1 honors. He was given a scholarship to study choral music at Cambridge.
Despite being color blind, he wrote his final thesis on International Klein Blue (IKB), which he has characterized as being extremely emotional and that he can always tell apart from others. He authored his theses on Brâncuși and Yves Klein. Redmayne belonged to the University Pitt Club at Cambridge.
