The stars of THE DANISH GIRL gathered for the UK Premiere in London.
On Tuesday evening, another movie premiere took place in London’s Leicester Square – and this time it was the turn of Tom Hooper’s stunning new film, THE DANISH GIRL to take centre stage.
Many of the cast and creators attended the UK premiere including Eddie Redmayne – in a rather eye-catching red, plaid suit, Alicia Vikander, Sebastian Koch, Matthias Schoenaerts and the film’s director, Tom Hooper.
Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne plays transgender pioneer Einar Wegener – later known as Lili Elbe – in the movie and is superb in the movie alongside Alicia Vikander who plays his wife.
The movie, set in the 1920s, is a love story about how Wegener, a painter, was persuaded by his wife Gerda Waud (Vikander) – who was also an artist – to pose for her in women’s clothes after one of her models failed to show. In time, he became Lili and started on the transformation into a woman.
Take a look at their red carpet interviews in the videos below – and if that’s not enough, you can also take a look at the photos from the UK premiere here.
