Eddie Redmayne may be one of the biggest winners from this year's awards season, but even after picking up some pretty impressive trophies in the past month alone, the Theory of Everything actor is staying humble and true to himself.

Before winning a 2015 SAG Award Sunday night, the talented Brit revealed how wife Hannah Bagshawe always reminds him that he's just an ordinary guy who just so happens to be a famous figure.

"There was a moment yesterday where I was in rehearsal and my wife was calling me because our dishwasher broke down," he told E! News at the Producers Guild Awards. "So in the process of trying to focus on my craft, I was dealing with the blocked pipes."

Our love for Redmayne just grew even more. Wait, is that possible?

Even with plenty of praise from fans and critics alike, the 33-year-old actor is just grateful to fulfill his Hollywood dreams. Plus, he's already secured a new gig for the year ahead. 

"I've actually been away working this week rehearsing for a new film," he teased to E! News. "I haven't worked since The Theory of Everything, so it's good to go back and remind myself this is what I do."

And regardless of all the attention he receives in the weeks ahead (cough, cough, Oscars), Redmayne is just enjoying the ride.

"It's been the most exhilarating thing. It is in some ways the stuff dreams are made of," he shared. "But you get back into the cold rehearsal room on the outskirts of London somewhere and its back to the gritty of filmmaking. It's certainly a crash to reality, but a wonderful one."

We don't want to play favorites, but it's hard to resist Mr. Redmayne!
