EDDIE REDMAYNE SAYS WARREN BEATTY OFFERED TO BAIL HIM OUT AFTER EMAIL HACK

Eddie Redmayne has revealed that after his email was hacked, Warren Beatty responded by offering to wire him money: “whatever you need”.

Redmayne told the story on Late Night With Seth Meyers, and said that “a couple of years ago” a scammer hacked his email and sent money requests to his contacts, including Beatty and fellow actor Jamie Dornan.

“I was actually in New York at the time and I had a big night the night before. And I woke up in New York and I turned on my phone and I listened to this voicemail. And I turned to my wife [Hannah Bagshawe], and I said, ‘I think Warren Beatty has just left me a voicemail checking I’m OK and whether I need money. I was sort of hungover and trying to make sense of this thing.”

He added: “It then became clear that … all my address book had been sent this very persuasive email that I was stuck and needed [help]. To Warren’s incredible, generous credit, he was pretty much the only person who was kind enough to help to bail me out. But like, to this day, that man has a great place in my heart.”

Dornan previously mentioned the story on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, saying: “We all just got individual emails, saying, ‘Guys, I need you to wire me some cash.’ And fair credit, Warren Beatty was like, ‘Whatever you need.’ … What a legend.”

Redmayne jokingly pointed out that Dornan’s response was somewhat different to this apparently desperate demand for money: “By the way, he didn’t send!”
