Exclusive pictures: Heartthrob Eddie Redmayne plays genius Stephen Hawking in new film

Pin-up Eddie Redmayne briefly goes back in time to bring genius Stephen Hawking to cinemas.

The Birdsong ido l stars in a new movie about the world-renowned ­cosmologist’s ­turbulent life.

The Sunday People exclusive pictures show Eddie in bow tie and velvet blazer as well as the professor’s ­trademark black specs cycling on set in Cambridge last week.

The film â€" The Theory of Everything: The Story of Stephen Hawking â€" ­begins in 1963 when he was ­diagnosed with motor neurone disease at 21 and shows how he fought back despite being given only two years to live.

Les Misérables star Eddie, 31, chatted to passers-by who stopped to watch filming of the Hawking ­biopic.

The movie is ­being shot near 71-year-old Hawking’s home in Cambridge.

The boffin â€" who became a household name when his A Brief History Of Time was published in 1988 and spent a record 237 weeks in the charts â€" grew up in St Albans, Herts.

He got a First in ­physics and chemistry at Oxford then did a PhD at Cambridge.

Old Etonian and Cambridge graduate Eddie described Hawking as “an incredibly amazing man”.

Twice-married father-of-three Hawking is now totally paralysed and can ­communicate only through a computerised ­device fixed to his wheelchair.

But he is considered by many to be the “Einstein of our time”.

And he’s been feted around the world with tributes such as being made a Companion of Honour in Britain and getting the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest civilian award.

The new film co-stars Felicity Jones as the prof’s first wife Jane and is due out next year â€" a ­decade after a BBC dramatisation of Hawking’s life starring Sherlock actor Benedict Cumberbatch.
