I’ve heard so many stories of different British actors living together I’m convinced they all lived in one giant apartment together.

[hgmet]

Jamie Dornan lived with Eddie Redmayne? How did that house not spontaneously combust into flames?

[Xkrsx]

When he said ‘desperate’ I was like ‘yeah...he’s one of my people.’ 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[chelnahtheegghead]

I’ll forever remember Jamie Dornan as the Huntsman on season 1 of Once Upon A Time...

Fun fact: The trio of British roommates was Jamie Dorman, Eddie Redmayne and Andrew Garfield

[Anjushree]

Just imagine going to an apartment and finding Jamie & Eddie together...I would melt tbh

[edwardmercer]

simple man see Eddie Redmaynes name I click

[ShinobuWakuWaku]

Jamie: Eddie was desperate
Eddie: Jamie is like a puppy
Best friendship ever 😅❤

And btw, now this "desperate" is one of the most appreciated british actors who's movies are winning Oscars and he has Oscar himself... and I hope Eddie will get more :D

[MelissaNgai]

What are the odds that these two roommates would both find great celebrity success? That's awesome.

[NotUrAvrg]

I'm really surprised by his accent! I didn't even know

[chloegrant]

y’all dont need to come for Eddie like this lmaoooo😂😂😂😭😭😭

[jyotiprakash]

Yes! The Academy Award winner eddie redmayne

[FantasticBeasts]

Eddie has a Oscar & millions from Fantastic Beasts. He’s Newt Scamander.
Jamie has millions from Fifty Shades & will probably get nominated for Belfast. He’s Mr Grey.
Andrew Garfield has a nomination for Hacksaw Ridge, will probably get nominated for Tick Tick Boom and has millions for being Spider-Man.

[MichelleRedSoul]

Idea for the last joke was great but needed better execution. Just a bit awkward.

[yudhityas]

Love the Irish' melodious tilts when Jamie speaks~ 😍

[r.s.mendoza]

Well, we're all happy for their success now.

[Allagi]

If you guys haven't seen "The Siege of Jadotville" on Netflix, I would recommend it. Stars Dornan. I was pleasantly surprised by it's a different kind of historical war movie, about an event I never even knew took place. Good movie, and really interesting.

[moirafatiaki]

Christian Grey, Spiderman & Steve Hawking lived together once !

[ScarlettJ]

It would have been 10x's sexier if Jamie would use his accent in the movie

[Etigress]

Eddie can run circles around Jamie when it comes to acting.
