Eddie recently opened up about the early Oscar buzz he is getting for his portrayal of famous physicist Stephen Hawking in the flick.

“The stakes were so high from the word ‘go,’ from the second we got the part. They were such inspiring people,” Eddie expressed (via E! News). “The fact that they enjoyed the film was a great award. I think their story is a wonderful story and I would love people to go and see it. So any buzz and kind words, of course, it’s like properly flattering. I hope it encourages people to go see it.”

FYI: Eddie is wearing Hardy Amies.
