Los Angeles: In the new trailer for upcoming film The Danish Girl, Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne transforms into an 'exquisite woman'. In the film Eddie plays the role of a transgender woman.

It begins with Alicia Vikander's character happily recalling her initial feelings for her handsome husband, Danish artist Einar Wegener (Eddie Redmayne), got together.

"I was sure. He was so shy and mysterious," she gushes to their friends. Then, the mystery is unveiled. "That fact is, I believe that I am a woman," Eddie's character is seen as saying in the emotional teaser for the film, which is based on the true story of the successful artist.

He then seeks to undergo a sex change. "It's my only hope. This is not my body. I have to let it go."

Eddie, who won a Best Actor Academy Award for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in 2014's The Theory of Everything, reunited with his Les Miserables director Tom Hooper for the film.
