According to foreign media reports, "Little Freckles" Eddie Redmayne recently said in a media interview that he thought it was a mistake to star in "Danish Girl" and that he would not take on the role now.
The film Danish Girl (2015) is based on the life of the world's first transgender person, telling a cross-gender and sexual love, recreating the legendary story of the first Danish painter and his wife who underwent gender reassignment surgery. Eddie Redmayne plays the transgender woman Aina, who was also nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor for the film. However, this casting has sparked controversy over "not finding transgender actors to star".
Now asked what he thought about the matter, Redmayne said, "No, if it were right now, I wouldn't have taken the role. I made this film with the best of intentions, but I think it was a mistake. The broader discussion about why casting is frustrating stems from the fact that many people don't have a chance to come to the table at all (into casting). There must be a balance, or our argument will continue. ”
