Stephen Hawking is ''very proud'' of Eddie Redmayne's Oscar win.

He wrote: ''Congratulations to Eddie Redmayne for winning an #Oscar for playing me in The Theory of Everything Movie. Well done Eddie, I'm very proud of you. -SH (sic)''
The 73-year-old author - who suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neurone disease - missed out on the star-studded ceremony because he wasn't well enough to fly to LA.
Anthony McCarten - the film's scriptwriter - explained that Hawking, who suffers from motor neurone disease, was not considered fit to fly to the ceremony, saying: ''Stephen has been told by doctors he is not well enough to fly here.''
Speaking before the event, Eddie said: ''He'll be missed.''
Eddie paid tribute to Stephen and his family as well as others who suffer from ALS during his acceptance speech at the ceremony.
He said: ''This belongs to all of those people around the world battling ALS. It belongs to one exceptional family: Stephen, Jane, Jonathan and the Hawking children.''
