Eddie Redmayne Shows Off His German Language Skills

Eddie Redmayne says he’s trading “wands for guns” in his latest TV series ‘The Day of the Jackal’ which launches on Sky Atlantic and Now on 7th November.

He plays the ruthless British assassin known as the Jackal, opposite the likes of Lashana Lynch, Úrsula Corberó, Richard Dormer and Charles Dance.

Eddie says he manifested this role while starring in the stage show of 'Cabaret' and also shows off his very specific German language skills which he picked up while shooting ‘The Day of the Jackal’.

The TV show is a modern retelling of Frederick Forsyth’s novel of the same name.
