Eddie Redmayne is not autistic; he does not have autism himself. Therefore, any news that comes up saying that he is autistic is a baseless rumor.
However, in his portrayal of the character Newt Scamander in the movie “Fantastic Beasts,” he skillfully conveys an illness that is reflected in his acting.
Eddie has openly discussed that he perceives Newt Scamander as someone existing somewhere on the autism spectrum, particularly identifying with Asperger’s.
In portraying Newt Scamander, Eddie intentionally embodies characteristics such as shyness, reserve, and a tendency to avoid eye contact.
This characteristic has led some fans to speculate about the character’s placement on the autism spectrum.
Redmayne believes that Newt Scamander’s traits align with Asperger’s, challenging the conventional portrayal of Hollywood heroes.
In his view, it is a nuanced and thoughtful representation that goes beyond the typical cinematic depictions of autism, often focusing on savant-like qualities.
