Eddie Redmayne recalls hilarious failed audition to play a Star Wars villain as he appears on Jimmy Kimmel Live in Los Angeles


The Theory of Everything star, 42, touched down in Los Angeles this week to join the chat show host on Wednesday's episode of the show.

The audience burst out laughing as Eddie mimicked his Mr Darcy does Darth Vader voice, before he added: 'There was this wonderful casting director called Nina gold, who has been very generous to me in the past. Eddie and his co-star Lashana Lynch, 36, who star as Jackal and Bianca in the cat-and-mouse style show, opened up to Radio Times about stepping into the roles and how this updated version of the story compares to the original. 'The thing I love about the original structure, which Ronan has managed to retain, is the odd idea that you have these two protagonists who are deeply morally compromised, making vicious choices and yet you kind of warm to both of them.'
