Scam email saying that the actor was in a fix and needed cash was sent to contacts including Jamie Dornan – Beatty was the only one to come to his aid
Eddie Redmayne has revealed that after his email was hacked, Warren Beatty responded by offering to wire him money: “whatever you need”., and said that “a couple of years ago” a scammer hacked his email and sent money requests to his contacts, including Beatty and fellow actor Jamie Dornan.
“I was actually in New York at the time and I had a big night the night before. And I woke up in New York and I turned on my phone and I listened to this voicemail. And I turned to my wife , and I said, ‘I thinkhas just left me a voicemail checking I’m OK and whether I need money. I was sort of hungover and trying to make sense of this thing.”
He added: “It then became clear that … all my address book had been sent this very persuasive email that I was stuck and needed . To Warren’s incredible, generous credit, he was pretty much the only person who was kind enough to help to bail me out. But like, to this day, that man has a great place in my heart.”, saying: “We all just got individual emails, saying, ‘Guys, I need you to wire me some cash.’ And fair credit, Warren Beatty was like, ‘Whatever you need.’ … What a legend.
Redmayne jokingly pointed out that Dornan’s response was somewhat different to this apparently desperate demand for money: “By the way, he didn’t send!”
