First Look at Eddie Redmayne as Transgendered Lili Elbe

This is Eddie Redmayne like you’ve NEVER seen him before. The 33-yer-old Oscar winner is currently working on “Danish Girl,” a new film about transgender pioneer Lili Elbe, who was one of the first to undergo sex reassignment surgery almost 100 years ago.

The production company behind the movie has released the first photo of Eddie as his character – in full makeup and a curly red wig. To prepare for his role, the actor told the Mail he has been “observing the minutiae of feminine physicality.” He added, “I think it’s the most sensitive role I have played.

The film is slated to hit theaters at the end of the year.
