Happy Birthday Eddie Redmayne! See His Most Dramatic On-Screen Transformations Yet

In Savage Grace, Redmayne stars opposite Julianne Moore to deliver one of his very first on-screen performances. Looking very young in the picture above, the English actor wore his hair in a longer, wispy 'do for his role as Antony Baekeland.

This film was a sequel to the 1998 film, Elizabeth. Here, Redmayne changed up his look to play Anthony Babington, a man convicted of plotting the assassination of Elizabeth I of England. 

Now, that's a new look for the actor. Clad in 16th-century clothing, Redmayne looks to have been born again in a different time to fill the role of Sir William Stafford.

Playing the part of a young monk named Osmund, Redmayne wore traditional medieval monks' clothing for the film.

In Les Misérables, Redmayne took on a very dapper look to play the part of Marius Pontmercy, a student revolutionary who falls in love with Cosette, played by Amanda Seyfried. 

Redmayne was so convincing in his portrayal of Stephen Hawking, the famous theoretical physicist diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, also known as ALS, that he took home the Academy Award for Best Actor. 

Starring alongside Mila Kunis, Channing Tatum, and Sean Bean, Redmayne completely transformed his look for this American-Australian space opera film to play the role of Balem Abrasax, Emperor to the House of Abrasax.

In this role, Redmayne plays a transgender Danish woman from the 1920s. Not only does Redmayne transition into a woman for the part, but he also dresses in '20s fashions for a total transformation. Bravo, Eddie! 

To say we are excited for this movie would be an understatement. Here, Redmayne plays Newt Scamander, the fictional author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, born in 1897.
