‘My new sleep paralysis demon’: Eddie Redmayne’s Tony Awards performance is an instant meme. The ‘Cabaret’ star brought some exquisitely weird energy to Sunday night’s show.
The Oscar, Tony and BAFTA-winning actor commits to every single role, be it Stephen Hawking, Newt Scamander, Danish Girl, or whatever the everloving heck was happening in Jupiter Ascending.
Naturally, Redmayne extended that commitment to strangeness to his performance as the Emcee in Broadway’s Cabaret.
At the Tony's, as predicted, Redmayne puts his entire being into the performance, for better or worse. And the internet had some thoughts.
