Before the Golden Globe Award and the Oscars nomination, before the ELLE cover - heck, even before the Burberry campaign - there was this.
New pictures have come to light of Eddie Redmayne in one of his first modelling assignments, for Yorkshire-based knitwear company Rowan Yarns.
The shots were taken over ten years ago, in 2004, when the tousle-haired young gun was just 22.
But, while his style has evolved (fortunately), we can't help but think he doesn't actually look that different at all.
Those 'looks' in full...
Saucer: A crew-neck pullover with a natty circular motif.
Brooklyn: A zip-through knit with contrast go-faster stripes.
Combat: A high-necked, ribbed jumper with contrast shoulder and elbow patches.
The moral of the story? Everyone's got to start somewhere.
