Actor Eddie Redmayne has been fined after he was caught breaking a 20mph (32km/h) speed limit in London.

Redmayne, known for starring in The Day of the Jackal and his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, was recorded driving his Audi at 28mph (45km/h) on the A4 through Earls Court on 14 October last year.

He admitted being the speeding driver but submitted the form to the police too late to avoid a criminal prosecution.

He pleaded guilty to the offence and was ordered by Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday to pay a £1,000 fine, £130 in court costs and a £400 victim surcharge and received three penalty points on his licence.
