10 Things You Didn't Know About Eddie Redmayne
6. He's Colour Blind (So His Wife Picks His Clothes)
For many men, the prospect of dressing smartly is a daunting one. Does this shirt fit? Do these colours go together? Are these shoes formal or not formal enough? For Eddie Redmayne, the pressure is even higher, having to be immaculately dressed at premieres and other press events.
Imagine how difficult it would be, then, if you couldn't accurately distinguish colours. This is the issue Redmayne faces on a regular basis, admitting that on multiple occasions he has almost dressed completely outlandishly, only to be advised by his wife that what he's wearing together doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Being colourblind, Eddie apparently relies almost exclusively on others picking out his wardrobe. Good thing he's an actor, then, and has a whole team of people to do it!
