Redmayne got up at 4am due to jet lag and went over to the famous Tsukiji fish market at 5am, only to find out that no visitors were allowed in at the time…

Meanwhile, director Tom Hooper went to Asakusa Temple in Tokyo to wish for movie’s success.

Hooper said that the moment Alicia Vikander who starred in the movie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress was the happiest moment of his life and gave her the biggest hug ever backstage.

When Redmayne first read the script, he felt that it was the best love story of the 20th century and hopes that the viewers will share the same thought.
