Eddie Redmayne cuts a dapper figure for the February issue Of GQ Magazine

Known as one of the nicest actors in show-business and Eddie Redmayne proved that to be the case in his latest magazine interview.

The 33-year-old actor posed for new images for GQ magazine as he talked about using his new found wealth to help struggling actors to pay their rent.

He told the publication: ‘The greatest privilege that I had was that my parents lived in London. So when I was out of university and out of work for a year, working in a pub, I didn’t pay rent.

‘And I get letters from people trying to go to drama school and needing to pay their rent. And so that’s something I occasionally do. It’s impossibly expensive to live in London.’

The handsome star, whose wife Hannah Bagshawe is said to be expecting their first child, looked very handsome in the shoot.

The Danish Girl star posed with his hands in his pockets as he stood in a slim-fit checked suit worn over a black polo neck.
