Eddie Redmayne was offered help from ‘nice guy’ Warren Beatty

Eddie Redmayne was offered help by “nice guy” Warren Beatty after his emails were hacked.
The 42-year-old Oscar winner revealed scammers broke into his account and sent his contacts a message suggesting the actor was in trouble and needed money – and Warren was the only one to contact him to ask if Eddie needed help.
During an appearance on “Late Night With Seth Meyers,” Eddie explained, “I was actually in New York at the time and I had a big party 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 (Hannah Bagshawe) and I said, ‘I think Warren Beatty just left me a voicemail to check (if) I’m OK and if I need some money. “
“I was kind of hungover and trying to make sense of this thing.”
Eddie then revealed that scammers had used his account to send a “very convincing email saying I was stuck and needed (money or help).”
He managed to resolve the problem, but he remains eternally grateful to Warren for contacting him and offering to help.
Eddie added: “To Warren’s incredible and generous credit, he was about the only person who was kind enough to help me get out of trouble. But like, to this day, that man has a big place in my heart.”
Among those who received emails from the scammers was Eddie’s former roommate Jamie Dornan, and the actor revealed his longtime friend received the money request and did nothing, joking: “Which he didn’t send,” adding that Warren must have been his “only good friend.”
Dornan previously mentioned the scam story during an appearance on Josh Horowitz’s “Happy Sad Confused” podcast earlier this year, explaining, “We all just got individual emails saying, ‘Guys , I need you to wire me some money.’ And Warren Beatty actually said: “Whatever you need”.
“What a legend.”
