Eddie Redmayne has revealed that he and his wife Hannah Bagshawe stalked Friends star Jennifer Aniston, and that he almost blacked out while hugging Pretty Woman star Julia Roberts when being presented with his Best Actor SAG award. The British Jupiter Ascending actor also explained that he freaked out while meeting Stephen Hawking for the first time, and that the famous philosopher/physicist has a James Dean quality of effortless cool and sex appeal. The Oscar and BAFTA nominee and star of The Theory of Everything also agreed with Kevin Costner that Hawking is definitely a ladies man.

The SAG Award winner revealed that he found Julia Roberts -- who presented him with his Best Actor SAG award -- "pretty breathtaking."
"My dad's favorite film was Pretty Woman," the Oscar nominee explained, "so as a kid at an inappropriate age I was watching Pretty Woman. And so this moment happens when your name gets read out, it's such an extraordinary euphoria and white noise and goes into a blur, and then suddenly there I was, hugging Julia Roberts," he grinned.
"Then I was meant to be articulate," he smiled, "but all I could think of was 'I wanna tell my dad.'"

Redmayne also compared his celebrity spotting to a "kid in candy store", and as US Weekly report, revealed that he and his wife "love Friends," and when they saw Jennifer Aniston at a party they were "incredibly inappropriate" and "stalked about four meters behind her for the entire evening."

Redmayne also chatted to Kimmel about meeting Stephen Hawking -- who Redmayne plays in the Oscar-nominated The Theory Of Everything -- saying that he freaked out when meeting the famous physicist... but that he's also definitely a character.
Hawking, said Redmayne, is "definitely one of the most charismatic men I've ever met, and he's definitely a ladies man."
"When I describe it," the actor continued, "it's sort of a lord of misrule quality."
He added, "In my trailer before I started filming i had three photographs, one was of Albert Einstein with his tongue out, the other was a joker in a pack of cards with a puppet, because of that mischief quality, and the last was James Dean because he has this shabby, effortless cool and sex appeal."
"I've met him a few times and he's bee so generous to us, but that first time I met him, I'd spent months and months preparing, reading and watching everything I could... then I actually got to spend time with him."
