Eddie Redmayne reveals why he kept his 'distance' from Taylor Swift during Les Miserables screen test


Eddie Redmayne opened up about an awkward moment during his and Taylor Swift's screen test for Les Miserables. He admitted he ate something that made him want to 'keep a distance' from her.

The Golden Globe winner, 42 — who recently looked dashing at the premiere of his upcoming series — admitted he ate something prior to their 2011 audition that made him want to 'keep a distance' from the Mirrorball hitmaker. The hit film is set in 19th century France and tells the tale of former prisoner Jean Valjean, who breaks parole and is pursued by his nemesis and former guard Javert before seeking atonement. Swift confirmed she had her teeth painted brown and dark circles drawn underneath her eyes to evoke the character's 'near-death' look prior to meeting up with the crew.
