He enjoyed a rather memorable 2016 after welcoming his first child into the world in June and being awarded an OBE by Queen Elizabeth II in December.

But Eddie Redmayne looked every inch the regular doting daddy as he carried his baby daughter, Iris Mary, six months, through London's Heathrow Airport as they prepared to catch a flight on Wednesday.

The Oscar-winning actor, 35, tenderly cradled his little girl in a carrier on his chest as they wandered through the terminal together.

A far cry from his usual slick suits on the red carpet, the The Theory Of Everything star kept things casual in a red and black plaid jacket and charcoal jeans.

The Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them star accessorised his jet-set look with a cosy black scarf and comfortable white trainers as he headed off to catch his flight.

Eddie's wife of two years, publicist Hannah Bagshawe, 33, wasn't present as the pair prepared to jet out of London.

2016 was quite a year for Eddie, who welcomed his first child, daughter Iris Mary, into the world in June.

And his stellar 2016 was capped off in December when he collected an OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) from Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle in Berkshire in recognition of services to drama.

But the Eton-educated star admitted that while being a parent was 'wonderful', he was feeling a little sleep deprived on his big day because of little Iris.

'She does have the habit of knowing when you have a big day, like today', he sighed.

'And she was up until four in the morning, so both my wife and I came today with matchsticks under our eyes. Other than that she is on cracking form.'

Of his latest honour, he said: 'It was absolutely wonderful.

'Also being with such extraordinary people the whole experience is incredibly humbling and also getting to be in Windsor Castle is breathtaking, around Christmas as well with all the decorations.'

Pressed on what the Queen had said to him, the Danish Girl star said: 'She was asking me whether I prefer film or theatre, and asked me if I enjoyed it.

'I’m very lucky to do something I am passionate about - I’m very grateful to do something I love because it is a rare thing.'

Eddie said it was 'an extraordinary thing' to receive his OBE, adding: 'It is something that I had never thought of and it was never in my wildest imagination.'

Eddie and Hannah started dating in 2012 after previously being friends since their school days.

They first met when the actor was studying at Eton College, while Hannah was boarding at a nearby girls' school.

However their friendship turned to romance when Eddie invited her to visit him in Italy while he was filming Les Miserables.

The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Babington House in Somerset in December 2014.
