Socialite Life debuted back in 2003. SL Flashback showcases some of our favorite content from years past.

If you had any doubts that Eddie Redmayne is one of the most charming and wonderful actors in Hollywood right now, then allow his latest interview with Vogue to put your mind at ease.

In addition to looking super handsome, Eddie also gives us a taste of that wonderful personality of his andโ€“as the writer calls itโ€“his โ€œlovely manners.โ€

So what are some things we learned about Eddie?

He started off as a model, although he didnโ€™t get very far. โ€œThe most success I think I had was doing a knitting magazine that was sent to grannies, but after my huge, heady days in the knitting books, I left it behind.โ€

And weโ€™re glad he did because now we get to watch him act. Most recently, The Theory of Everything has been getting him serious Oscar buzz. In the film, Eddie plays Stephen Hawking from a bright university student to an aged scientist talking through his famous computer. He internalized it allโ€“with the help of visits to ALS patients and Hawking himself.

Probably the cutest story in the piece is about his fiancรฉe, and how he tried to figure out her ring size. โ€œTheyโ€™ve been together a couple of years, though he couldnโ€™t find any way to check her ring size before he proposedโ€”other than waiting until โ€˜the middle of the night, taking her hand, and putting her finger next to my finger.โ€™ โ€

Iโ€™m really not doing this profile proper justice. Read it all yourself. If youโ€™re not already, youโ€™ll be in love with Eddie Redmayne by the end of it.
