Today, Eddie Redmayne is 34 years old. And if his childhood self isn't impressed by the whole Oscar winner deal, young Eddie would at least probably be psyched that he grows up to play a magical-creature expert in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.
Redmayne says his favorite birthday ever was a magic show that he enjoyed significantly more than anyone he invited to his party did. He was also very impressed by magicians' business cards.
"You can go and buy a box to chop people in half," Redmayne explained. "I used to go and stand in the window." Definitely not creepy.

The video was shot for W Magazine's channel on The Scene, Conde Nast Entertainment's digital video storytelling platform. Redmayne is the magazine's February cover star -- unless he makes himself disappear.
