Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards said to the British public broadcaster the BBC that the filmmakers had "done a very, very good job" on making this movie. Edwards also noted Taron Egerton performance playing him as "uncanny" stating Egerton "got my mannerisms and everything else just right."
On June 6, 2015, the real-life Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards told BBC news that the movie will be 90 percent made up. Edwards said, "I've been warned only ten to 15 percent of it is based on my life."
In the film, Eddie trains in Garmisch (a.k.a. Garmisch-Partenkirchen), Germany. In reality, Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards learned how to ski jump in Lake Placid, NY, U.S.A.
In reality, the training and preparation time that Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards spent before the 1988 Winter Olympics was excruciatingly painful and difficult. Edwards has said: "I was sleeping in the car, in cow sheds, in a mental hospital. I was scraping food out of bins, and the whole time I'm thinking the next jump could very well by my last. I could kill myself. In some ways, the movie doesn't show how bad it really was."
In 1992, after declaring bankruptcy, Eddie 'The Eagle' Edwards took a degree in law at De Monfort University in Leicester, and became a sports agent.
"Eddie Edwards: Any tips then? Bronson Peary: Don't die?"
"Terry: You name me one, one British ski-jumper! Eddie Edwards: Me. Eddie Edwards. I'm gonna be the squad."
