Jamie Dornan reveals Eddie Redmayne was 'desperate' when they lived together

Nowadays Jamie Dornan and Eddie Redmayne are both starring in their own massive franchises, but back when they first moved to LA it was a different story.

The two actors lived together for awhile, and apparently things would get pretty competitive.

In the clip above, James Corden asks Jamie Dornan what his former flatmate-turned-wand-wielding-A-lister was like to live with.

"Desperate," responds Dornan. "We were both very desperate, you know it was slim pickings in those days for work -- the idea was you'd come out and all go to the same sort of auditions."

They even had some tense situations when scripts would arrive for one but not the other. Still, it all seems to have worked out well in the end.
