British actor Eddie Redmayne, currently shooting in Budapest, was spotted at a downtown speciality coffee shop. So, next time you are sipping on a flat white, keep an eye out – you might be sharing a coffee moment with the Oscar-winning star!
Redmayne, well known for his leading roles in the Fantastic Beasts series, The Danish Girl, and The Theory of Everything, has been in and out of Budapest since last summer. He is shooting ' The Day of the Jackal ', a thriller series based on Frederick Forsyth's novel, where he plays a professional assassin. Beyond the film set, he's been actively exploring the city, making appearances at a student protest and the Espresso Embassy, and now he ventured into another top-notch speciality café near the Parliament, where he posed for a photo.
The baristas at Madal said the actor had arrived solo and ordered a latte for himself and another to go. He was super friendly, greeting another guest with a 'Nice to meet you'.
As for the duration of his stay in the Hungarian capital, we have no information and the release date of the series also remains a mystery. But we do know that the filming locations span Budapest, Austria, Croatia, and the UK, and the cast includes Lashana Lynch, Adam James, Scott Alexander Young and Hans Peterson too. So some more celebrity spotting is definitely on the cards.
