He stated that he actually wondered whether the masks would affect creativity, in some ways. Redmayne explained that maybe it was a bit ignorant, but he just thought, as humans, people do need interaction to spark from each other. The Oscar award-winning star noted that it is really reassuring that even if it is a different process on sets, it still feels it’s "fizzing" and that everyone is working at the top of their game.
