THE DANISH GIRL – First Look At Eddie Redmayne As Transgender Pioneer

Courtesy of The Daily Mail, we have the first look at the Oscar-winner’s latest role…

Directed by Tom Hooper (‘Les Misérables,’ ‘The King’s Speech’), THE DANISH GIRL is a love story about Danish painter Einar Wegener and his wife, fellow artist Gerda Gottlieb (played by Alicia Vikander). In 1930, Wegener was one of the first-ever recipients of a gender reassignment surgery, officially becoming Lili Elbe.
