Every time you see the perfectly manicured grass at the beginning of the game, it kind of makes you feel like summer is upon us, Eddie Redmayne told us at Wimbledon yesterday.
Ive been a couple of times before, he added just before Roger Federer took to Court One. Its been a few years so its lovely to be back, particularly given that the sun has come out.
The actor and Burberry campaign star came to the tournament fresh from the set of the new film adaptation of , in which he plays Marius, lover to Amanda Seyfrieds Cosette.
I will be singing in it and it was an amazing experience, he said. I was doing a play, Richard II, before that and went straight into it. It was incredibly hard work, so now Im taking a break and going on holiday.
But not before telling us that he had a great night at the 2012 ELLE Style Awards. Hes kept up with ELLE happenings, tooRedmayne said he was aware of our David Beckham cover, but wasnt sure he was ready to throw his hat in the ring should we decide to repeat the male cover-star feat.
Im not even going to pretend that I could compete with David Beckham, he said, as far as the old washboard is concerned.
What do you think? Is it time for #EddieforELLE?
