At the same time that Eddie Redmayne won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as Stephen Hawking in "The Theory Of Everything," he had a new film out in theaters, "Jupiter Ascending," in which he gave what many consider to be an abominable performance.
It takes a lot of guts for an actor to admit he gave a bad performance, but in a recent interview with GQ [via The AV Club], the actor admitted that his performance as space autocrat Balem Abrasax was absolutely bonkers:
“My character had had his larynx ripped out by this wolf man, and so I made the slightly bold choice—which I thought was right—of talking like this,” Redmayne says, “I won a prize for it for the worst performance of the year,” referring to his 2016 Razzie award for Worst Supporting Actor. “So, yeah, it was a pretty bad performance by all accounts.”
