No time like the present: Eddie Redmayne is treated to a strip show by co-star Alicia Vikander as he tries her underwear on for size in The Danish Girl

Eddie, 33, takes the lead, ridding himself of his shirt and trousers, in preparation for his new costume and soon-to-be lifelong identity.

Alicia, 27, follows suit, although her display is a far sexier one as she innocently lifts her silk nightwear dress up over her shoulders to reveal her underwear-less bottom.

But one scene in The Danish Girl is guaranteed to set pulses racing as Eddie Redmayne is treated to a strip show by stunning co-star co-star Alicia Vikander.

The Golden Globe winner plays transgender pioneer Lili Elbe while the Swedish actress plays her wife and artistic collaborator Gerda Wegener and stills depicting the lead character trying on her clothes sees the star strip completely naked.

The Theory of Everything actor watches on in awe as his on-screen wife strips before him in the moment that's set to change his life forever.

Alicia stands in the nude as Eddie pulls on the garment before they share an intimate embrace.

She then conceals his new identity beneath his masculine clothing, giving him a helping hand to do up his shirt while baring her bra-less breasts.

The Danish Girl is loosely inspired by the story of the Copenhagen-based couple and the struggles facing them as Einar transitions into a woman named Lili.

Lili's journey as a man-to-woman transgender starts when Gerda asks him (then Einar) to stand in for a no-show female model.

He willingly obliges and is surprised with how comfortable he feels in the female clothing which prompts his quest to become a fully-fledged woman.

Although Eddie's latest release - which is directed by award-winner Tom Hooper, the genius behind The King's Speech - has been branded a 'disappointment' and 'emotionally undercharged', he's racked up his fair share of highly-respected award nominations for his portrayal of the character.

He could be set to add another Golden Globe to his already-full trophy cabinet as well as another Screen Actors Guild gong, a Critics' Choice Movie award and a handful of others.
