>> James: EDDIE, YOU AND I GO
BACK A VERY, VERY LONG WAY.
>> SUCH A LONG WAY.
>> James: WE BOTH ATTENDED THE
JACKIE PALMER STATE SCHOOL IN
HIGH WICKHAM.
WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER OF THIS
TIME?
>> YOU SAY IT WITH SUCH PRIDE.
IT GIVES ME GOOSEBUMPS.
THIS SCHOOL WAS THIS AMAZING
PLACE AND I REMEMBER GOING -- I
WOULD GO AND THERE WOULD BE
THESE CONCERTS AND THEATER
PIECES AND I DIDN'T REALLY HAVE
ANY FRIENDS.
I WOULD GO AND I WOULD SING,
BECAUSE I WAS INTO SINGING THEN.
I WOULD BE THE GUY WHO SANG
"MEMORY" FROM "CATS" AND JAMES
WOULD BE LIKE RAPPING AND DOING
STREET DANCE.
>> James: HA-HA.
>> NO, BUT IT WAS GENUINELY.
I WAS A BIT SCARED OF HIM.
HE WAS FOUR YEARS ABOVE.
>> ARE YOU ONE OF THE COOL KIDS?
>> I WAS THE COOL KID.
>> James: I WASN'T THE LEADER OF
THE PACK.
THERE WAS A LOT MORE OTHER
LEADERS.
JAMES WILSON AND THOMASSON WERE
VERY MUCH THE CHORUS.
THEY WERE IN MY YEAR.
BUT, YEAH, YOU SINGING "MEMORY"
I REMEMBER THAT.
IT WAS AMAZING!
I WONDER -- .
>> SING IT NOW!
>> I KNEW COMING ON THIS SHOW
WAS A BAD IDEA.
>> James: IF ONLY WE HAD A CLIP
OF THAT.
[ SINGING ]
OH, HE'S BEAUTIFUL!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL!
BEAUTIFUL.
>> I MIGHT BE MAKING A FILM
ABOUT THAT.
>> James: THERE YOU GO.
IT WAS BEAUTIFUL.
I CAN REMEMBER EVERYONE IN THE
WINGS THAT DAY GOING, "THAT GUY
IS GOING TO WIN AN OSCAR."
BUT LOOK, NOT EVEN THAT GUY,
THIS GUY, BECAUSE IT WAS AN
AGENCY.
IT WAS A STAGE CALL WHERE WE HAD
AN AGENCY WHERE YOU WERE GOING
UP FOR AUDITIONS AND HERE IS
EDDIE'S SHOT.
>> EDWARD.
EDWARD REDMAYNE.
>> James: THERE YOU ARE THERE.
THERE YOU ARE THERE.
LOOKING BEAUTIFUL.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL BRING MYSELF IN.
THERE'S MINE.
>> I LOVE YOUR SPECIAL SKILLS.
>> James: WHAT I LOVE HERE WHICH
I NEVER KNEW WAS IN THERE, A POP
GROUP, INSATIABLE.
THAT WAS MY BAND IN SCHOOL.
>> I LOVED THAT YOU RAN IT.
>> James: I LOVED IT VERY MUCH.
YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH IT,
CHASTAIN.
LOOK AT THIS TRICKY ONE.
>> OH, LOOK AT THE HAIR.
LOOK.
>> WAIT, ARE YOU SURE THAT'S NOT
EDDIE?
>> James: IT COULD BE!
THAT COULD BE EDDIE.
ABSOLUTELY COULD BE.
WHEN YOU WERE AUDITIONING AT THE
TIME OR --
>> I THOUGHT THAT WAS THE COOL
WAY TO DRESS.
NO, I WANTED A PERM.
IT'S -- YOU KNOW, JUST THOUGHT A
PERM WOULD BE COOL AND GAVE ME
THE BIGGEST RED FRO!
>> James: I LOVE IT.
>> I HAD IT FOUR YEARS.
I MISSED MY TEETH.
I HAD RED COWBOY BOOTS I ROCKED
THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL.
NOT HIGH SCHOOL.
THIS ISN'T MY HIGH SCHOOL
PICTURE.
>> James: NOT HIGH SCHOOL.
THIS IS -- THIS IS -- HOW OLD
ARE YOU HERE?
>> PROBABLY EIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK YOU'VE GOT THE THAT FROM
MY MOTHER SO SHE WOULD KNOW.
>> James: IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
