Los Angeles, California – Actors Eddie Redmayne and Jamie Dornan spoke about their time living as roommates, revealing an unusual hobby.

These two celebrities were roommates when they first moved to Hollywood!

"[T]here was so little to do — if we didn’t have an audition," Fifty Shades of Grey actor Dornan (38) told Variety in an interview, describing the time before the two actors made their breakthroughs.

One day, he said, they went to a pottery shop and made plates and clay pots.

Redmayne (39) was a little embarrassed as Dornan shared the story, since he had told his parents that he was going to Los Angeles to become a successful actor.

Becoming a Hollywood celebrity took a little longer than Redmayne originally thought, which is why he and Dornan both took up pottery-making – at least temporarily.

Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne keeps the mementos of that adventure to this day.
