Here’s your first look at Eddie Redmayne playing a transgender woman in The Danish Girl.



Eddie plays Einar Wegener, a Danish-born artist who was one of the first known people to undergo sex reassignment surgery. Born as a man, she underwent a series of experimental surgeries in Germany, beginning in 1930.

The film, directed by Tom Hooper, also stars Alicia Vikander as Wegener’s wife Greta as well as Amber Heard and Matthias Schoenarts.
