Eddie Redmayne Got Hacked and Accidentally Asked Warren Beatty and Jamie Dornan for Money

-We're back with Eddie Redmayne, and I'm so appreciative that you're here. This is a show night, and you mentioned you're on stage most of the night, but you're also, you're not just standing on stage. Here's another art card of a sort of jump that I could only do maybe once, and I feel like you're up in the air multiple times. -That is true There is a lot of jumping. Jumping is one of my special skills. What I lack in dancing capability and make up for in jumping. -But I mean, physically, this is very taxing role. -Yeah. -You know, and again, we were talking backstage. This is about a very debaucherous era, and you're living like a monk in between shows. -Yeah, that is true. I basically drink my body weight in water. I'm on sort of consistent vocal rest, but the bonus is that when I get home, I sort of open my freezer and there is just every possible Ben and Jerry's ice cream, and I'm living off a horrendously unhealthy diet of ice cream. -I know the Tony nomination is a big deal, but this is -- someone grabbed this shot in New York City. This is outside a restaurant. "Empanadas hotter than Eddie Redmayne." I mean, that right there. -This -- -[ Cheers and applause ] -This was a big moment. I was sent this by one of our cosmetics, because it's around the corner from our theater, and I quite often pass it, and I've never really had empanadas. Is that how you pronounce it? -I think it's close enough. If you say it, they'll give you one. It's close enough. -And I've got too much stage fright to actually go in there and taste one. But I will do now. -I have a very embarrassing -- I was in Amsterdam last summer doing a show and somebody posts on an Instagram one of these that was like, "Seth Meyers, if you come in, we'll give you a free bagel." And I was like, I'll go in, I'll blow their minds. And I went in and they were like, "Oh, you came." And I was like, alright. And I ended up tipping more than a full bagel. -I'm definitely not going in. That sounds wildly disappointing. -Your friend, he's been a guest on this show, a wonderful fellow, wonderful actor, Jamie Dornan. -Yeah. -He told the story -- [ Applause ] Yeah, give it up for Jamie. -What story did he tell? -So he said that you got your email hacked, and then he got an email from you that was not from you, asking for money. -Yeah. -Yeah. -Which by the way, he didn't send. -So he got what looked like an email from you saying you're in trouble and need money, and he did not reply. -Yeah. So I had this -- my email got hacked a couple of years ago, and I didn't realize it. I was actually in New York at the time, and I had a big night the night before, and I woke up in New York and I turned on my phone and I listened to this voicemail, and I turned to my wife and I said, "I think Warren Beatty has just left me a voicemail checking I'm okay and whether I need money." I was sort of hung over and trying to make sense of this thing, and it then became clear that my email had been hacked and all of my address book had been sent this very persuasive email saying that I was stuck and that I needed -- And to Warren's incredible, generous credit, he was pretty much the only person who was kind enough to help to bail me out. But like, to this day, that man has a great place in my heart. -Just another incredible accomplishment for Warren Beatty is, he's your only good friend. -Yeah. Hey, thanks so much for being here. Congrats again on the show, the nominations. It's always a pleasure to see you. Eddie Redmayne, everybody! "Cabaret" at the Kit Kat Club is playing at the August Wilson Theater on Broadway. We'll be right back.
