"He has the gift of bringing the audience with him emotionally," Hooper says of his star. On the other hand, it’s this shaky path that leaves us wonder if this guy is truly going places or just eventually falling short and if his performances are truly a solid sequence of wonders or just this random rollercoaster of Oscar bait and acting catastrophes.The film is directed by Tom Hooper - with whom Redmayne had worked on 2012's Les Miserables - and the film-maker claims that the actor is ideal for the part, given his own "gender fluidity".

Although, we know he pretty much got the hang of it when it comes to selling himself, the pretty face and his shy ways help.
The guy sings, dances, acts and models, he’s just really crappy at coming up with new stories to tell on interviews (seriously, we know he went through some serious press blaze close to the Oscars, but he could have come up with more than 3 interesting set stories to tell). Or even better, Birdsong, dramatic and raw. Just take Pillars of the Earth, a simple, unique and humble performance.

We also know he can seriously turn heads TV wise. He was a solid Marius, as fresh and vibrant as this french rich kid can be. We got a clear sample of his vocal abilities on Les Misérables.
