Eddie Redmayne: I’m ‘weirdly obsessed’ with NYC

Eddie Redmayne — the Brit star who’s been promoting his film “The Theory of Everything” around town, tells Gotham magazine he’s always been drawn to New York.

“I’m weirdly obsessed,” the actor, who plays Stephen Hawking, tells the mag.

“When I was 13 or 14, I had a calendar of black-and-white New York photos and was endlessly trying to do drawings of them. And then my mum took me to New York, and we were lucky enough to stay in this hotel on the 21st floor. I opened the windows and the curtains, and there was St. Patrick’s Cathedral with all the high-rise buildings flying up above it. I kid you not, my knees buckled.”
