WATCH Eddie Redmayne’s first ever acting role, from when he was 16. The ONLY place you can see it on the actual internet

You'll have already read this week's heat magazine and seen our EXCLUSIVE pics of Oscar-winning Eddie Redmayne in his first ever TV role... you have, haven't you?

Well, here is the video of that show, Animal Ark - and it's the only and first place on the whole internet you can watch it. Sorry Eddie.

The show sees 16-year-old Eddie play John, who returns home for the summer to find out his Dad is engaged to another woman, just three years after his mum's died. SHOCK! However, he instead spends his time with Mandy Hope, who persuades him to concentrate on his school project, on bunnies, instead. He gets to be a stroppy teen, fights back against some men that are rabitting and even gets his first on-screen kiss! Swit-swoo.

It first aired in May 1998 and Ed's next acting role wasn't for another five years, when he appeared in BBC daytime soap, Doctors.

It's all rather sweet - and not at all embarrassing. Ed Red clearly had the acting chops from the very beginning.
