===1996–2005: Early career===
Hoult's acting potential was discovered at age three by a theatre director during a performance of a play that starred Hoult's brother. The director was impressed at Hoult's ability to "concentrate well" and offered him a role in his next theatre production ''[[The Caucasian Chalk Circle]]''.<ref name="telegraph.co.uk" /> Hoult began attending auditions and at age five was cast in the 1996 drama ''[[Intimate Relations (1996 film)|Intimate Relations]]'', his first feature-film role. He later appeared in the television programmes ''[[Casualty (TV series)|Casualty]]'', ''[[Silent Witness]]'', ''[[The Bill]]'', ''[[Judge John Deed]]'', and ''[[Doctors (2000 TV series)|Doctors]]'', among others. Hoult initially treated acting as a hobby rather than a potential career option; in a March 2009 interview with ''[[The Daily Telegraph]]'', he said he was not "in love with it&nbsp;...

Nicholas Caradoc Hoult (born 7 December 1989) is an English actor.

Hoult is a versatile actor who has been acting since the age of three.[2] His filmography includes supporting work in big-budget mainstream productions and starring roles in independent projects in the American and British film industries. His film debut was with the film Intimate Relations (1996) at the age of five and he became known for his role as Marcus in About a Boy (2002). At 17, he played the character Tony Stonem in the British series Skins (2007–2008), a role that helped him make the transition from child actor to darker roles in the film industry, achieving success and recognition.[3] ​His move to Hollywood began with the drama A Single Man (2019), for which he earned a BAFTA nomination.

Among his works are the action film Mad Max: Fury Road (2015) in which he played Nux and the film Young Ones (2014); the fantasy films Clash of the Titans (2010) and Jack the Giant Slayer (2013); the superhero films X-Men: First Class (2011), X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014), X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), and Dark Phoenix (2019) in which he plays mutant Hank McCoy; the biographical films Rebel in the Rye (2017) and Tolkien (2019); the romantic comedies Warm Bodies (2013) and Equals (2015); the black comedies Kill Your Friends (2015), The Favourite (2018), The Menu (2022), and Renfield (2023); the drama films Dark Places (2015), Sand Castle (2017), The Current War (2019), True History of the Kelly Gang (2019) and The Banker (2020); and the gothic horror film Nosferatu (2024). Hoult achieved recognition by starring in the comedy-drama series The Great (2020–2023) which earned him nominations for two Golden Globe Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award.

Early life

Nicholas Caradoc Hoult was born on 7 December 1989 in Wokingham, Berkshire,[4] to Glenis (née Brown), a piano teacher, and Roger Hoult, a commercial pilot.[5][6] His middle name, Caradoc (pronounced /ka.ˈrɑː.dɔk/), is Welsh and translates as "The Beloved One".[7] His paternal grand-aunt was Dame Anna Neagle, a stage and film actress active in the 1930s and 1940s.[8] He has three siblings: an elder brother who is a United States–based biology student; and two sisters, both of whom are actresses.[4][9] Hoult spent most of his childhood at his family's residence in Sindlesham, an estate village in the borough of Wokingham.[10] His older siblings were interested in acting and dancing from an early age, taking classes and attending auditions. As a child, he began accompanying them and developed his own interest in acting. He discussed his childhood and his relationship with his siblings in a 2011 interview with The Guardian saying, "[we were] pretty outdoorsy normal kids running around in the garden and making tree houses ... it was very normal".[11] His mother accompanied him on set for all his projects until he began filming the TV series Skins when he was 17.[12]

During Hoult's childhood, his father was regularly working away from home and his brother was away attending school. As a result, he spent most of his time with his mother and sisters; he said being raised by women might have helped him "steer clear of some pitfalls that guys who didn't grow up with women would fall into".[13] Hoult was educated at The Coombes Infant and Nursery School and then Arborfield Church of England Junior School.[14] He practised ballet with his sisters and took part in productions of Swan Lake and The Nutcracker with the English National Ballet.[15] Although he initially wanted to attain advanced level certificates in English, Biology, and Psychology,[11] in 2002, aged 12, he decided instead to attend acting school at Sylvia Young Theatre School. At age 14, he left to attend the Church of England's secondary school Ranelagh School in Bracknell, Berkshire.[16] Hoult played trombone as a child and was a member of the local choir.[4]

Acting career

1990s

Hoult's acting potential was discovered at age three by a theatre director during a performance of a play that starred Hoult's brother. The director was impressed at Hoult's ability to "concentrate well" and offered him a role in his next theatre production The Caucasian Chalk Circle.[16] Hoult began attending auditions and at age five was cast in the drama Intimate Relations (1996), his first feature-film role. He later appeared in the television programmes Casualty (1996), Silent Witness (1998), The Bill (2000), Doctors (2001) and Judge John Deed (2002), among others. Hoult initially treated acting as a hobby rather than a potential career option; in a March 2009 interview with The Daily Telegraph, he said he was not "in love with it ... I just enjoyed it. It was like playing for a football team. When you got a part it was great. And meeting new people. It was an exciting new world."[16]

2000s

At the age of 11, Hoult found himself cast in a lead role in the film About a Boy (2002) alongside Hugh Grant, Toni Collette and Rachel Weisz, directed by American brothers Chris and Paul Weitz, in which he played a nerdy boy named Marcus.[17] Hoult was initially reluctant to audition for the role as the casting process was a lengthy one and interfered with his schooling. He nonetheless decided to participate in the early rounds of auditions and was eventually cast in the role of Marcus, a "woolly-hatted, oddball son of a suicidal, hippy-ish single mother, [who] gets bullied horribly at school".[18] About a Boy was a commercial success, grossing more than $130 million worldwide and receiving praise by film critics.[17][19] Hoult's portrayal of a lonely schoolboy was well-received; David Thomas, writing for The Daily Telegraph, attributed the film's appeal and success to Hoult's performance.[18] By the time the film was released, Hoult had left his junior school in Arborfield and began attending Sylvia Young Theatre School in London. He said the change was difficult; his time there was short and he preferred attending a regular school. He still did not want to pursue acting as a profession and at 14 he left Sylvia Young Theatre School in favour of Ranelagh School.

From then on, Hoult was the go-to choice in movies that needed an unconventional kid who seemed smart even when he didn't say anything.[20] Hoult starred in Richard E. Grant's semi-autobiographical film Wah-Wah (2005)[21] as Ralph Compton, a boy who is forced to deal with the disintegration of his family. The film, set in Swaziland during the 1960s, chronicles the waning years of the Swaziland Protectorate.[22] Hoult made his debut in Hollywood with Gore Verbinski's film The Weather Man (2005)[21][23] as the son of a television weather presenter undergoing a mid-life crisis. The film and Hoult's performance went largely unnoticed.[24]

Nicholas Hoult and Kaya Scodelario, Skins 2007.

Hoult's transition to an adult actor would come when he played the role of Tony Stonem in the first two seasons of the E4 drama series, Skins.[25] Hoult was a student at Sixth Form College Farnborough in 2006 when he was cast in the lead role of the television teenage-drama Skins. He was initially sceptical of his ability to play Tony Stonem, a manipulative, egocentric anti-hero, and identified more closely with the supporting character Sid.[9] The programme was a success and ran for seven series, only two of which Hoult appeared in. His performance was well received; the character was popular, and Hoult garnered widespread attention.[26] Skins won the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Philip Audience Award, and Hoult was nominated for the Golden Nymph Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series.[27] Critic Elliott David lauded Hoult for his performance in a 2016 retrospective review, and wrote that he "maintain[ed] the inexplicable core of his character throughout".[28] During his time on Skins, Hoult felt overwhelmed by the attention he received and considered quitting acting altogether at one point. Instead, he left school at the end of Skins' first series and chose to focus solely on acting.[11] Hoult briefly appeared as Stefan Fredman in the pilot episode of the British television series Wallander.[29]

He filmed the film Coming Down the Mountain (2007), for British television BBC One, along with Tommy Jessop, an actor with Down syndrome. The film and Hoult's performance had good reviews; due to the acting of Jessop and Hoult, the film was called one of the most rewarding watches of the year.[30] The film was nominated for a BAFTA in 2008.[31]

In 2009 he made his stage debut at London's West End theatre as Mark, the protagonist in William Sutcliffe's coming-of-age play New Boy; the production premiered at Trafalgar Studios and had record-breaking ticket sales, which was mostly attributed to Hoult's popularity among viewers of Skins.[32][33][34] The play was staged for a week in March 2009 because Hoult had committed to a part in the fantasy-adventure film Clash of the Titans (2010), playing the role of Eusebios, filming for which was scheduled for mid-2010.[33][34][35]

At the 66th Venice Film Festival, September 11, 2009 on the red carpet with Matthew Goode, Tom Ford, Julianne Moore, Colin Firth, Nicholas Hoult and Jon Kortajarena.

Hoult next appeared in the film Tom Ford's A Single Man (2009), after the actor originally cast in the role of Kenny Potter left the film a few days before filming commenced. Hoult had previously shown interest in the project and had sent a recorded audition tape; he was eventually chosen for the role of Kenny, a homosexual college student who helps a college professor deal with his grief.[36][37] A Single Man was variously described by media outlets as the first adult role for Hoult, who described Kenny as a "spontaneous" character not simply defined by his sexuality.[37][38][39] Because the role was his first as an American character, Hoult worked on his accent; Sukhdev Sandhu of The Daily Telegraph noted Ford's choice of casting British actors as Americans (Hoult and Matthew Goode) and vice versa (Julianne Moore).[40][41] A Single Man opened to widespread acclaim despite reservations from critics about Ford's directorial abilities; it was a box-office success.[42][43][44] The film earned Hoult a nomination for the BAFTA Rising Star Award at the 2010 ceremony.[45][46] In 2010, Hoult voiced the character of Elliot in Lionhead Studios' action role-playing game Fable III (2010).[47]

In 2010 Hoult acted in a discreet role in the American fantasy film Clash of the Titans (2010), playing Eusebios, in the plot of the myth of Perseus. In the film he worked alongside actors Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes. The film was a global box office success, grossing 500 million worldwide.[48][49]

In 2010 Hoult was cast as Nux in George Miller's action film Mad Max: Fury Road (2015). The project spent several years in development hell as plans for a fourth film in the Mad Max franchise ran into financial difficulties.[50] Filming was scheduled for mid-2010,[28] but heavy rain caused serious delays during pre-production in Australia and with no other immediate commitments, Hoult began to look for other projects.[51][52] Eventually, he was cast in the role of Hank McCoy / Beast in the X-Men film series owing to his ability to play somebody "gentle with a capability of being fierce".[53][52] Hoult became familiar with his character; he said that he "formulated [his] own version of the Beast" and was inspired by Kelsey Grammer's performance in X-Men: The Last Stand because he wanted to "emulate Grammer's charm and eloquence." Hoult learned to speak in a dialect similar to Grammer's without attempting to imitate him.[54] He also underwent physical training and gained weight to better fit his character.[55] The film X-Men: First Class, which was widely praised by critics for its script and performances, performed moderately well at the box office, grossing around $353 million against a production budget of $160 million.[56][57][58] He reprised this role of Hank McCoy / Beast in the following installments of the saga: X-Men: Days of Future Past (2015) directed by Bryan Singer, which grossed more than 747 millions of dollars worldwide;[59][60] for the third time in the film X-Men: Apocalypse (2016), which grossed around $540 million; and in Dark Phoenix (2019).

In 2012, Hoult was included in the Forbes 30 under 30 list.[61]

In 2013, Hoult had starring roles in two major films; he first played a zombie teenager named R in Jonathan Levine's romantic comedy Warm Bodies (2013), which was released on 1 February.[62] An adaptation of Isaac Marion's novel of the same name, the film is presented from point of view of the central character, mostly through narration. Levine said he had difficulties finding a suitable actor to play R until he met Hoult, who was attracted to the project—which he described as "much more than a horror movie" owing to the use of multiple pop culture and literary allusions—and even more so to the role which "bowled [me] over". Hoult said he drew inspiration from Edward Scissorhands (1990) because he thought the central characters in both films share the same difficulties.[63] To prepare for the role of a zombie, Hoult and the other actors practised with Cirque du Soleil performers; he said of the experience; "we would take our shoes off in a dance studio ... kind of grow out of the wall and make our bodies feel very heavy".[64] The film garnered positive response from critics and audiences.[65] Ben Kendrick praised Hoult for the restraint in a potentially Razzie-worthy role: "[he] brings a lot of life to R without stepping too far in the other direction [and although his] zombie mannerisms may come across a bit forced but, overall, his memorable moments outnumber (and outweigh) the awkward ones."[66] Hoult was also described as "an extremely appealing actor, [who] is charm personified" in his role of the living-dead.[67] In the film he worked with the actors Teresa Palmer and John Malkovich.

Hoult's next film was Bryan Singer's fantasy adventure Jack the Giant Slayer (2013). He played the eponymous hero in the film, which is based on the British fairy tales Jack the Giant Killer and Jack and the Beanstalk,[68] alongside actors Ewan McGregor and Stanley Tucci.

Hoult then appeared in Jake Paltrow's science-fiction film Young Ones (2014). Set in a dystopian future where water is scarce, the film had Hoult play Flem Lever, a young man who is trying to claim the land owned by the film's central character Ernest Holm.[69] Hoult thought the role was unlike any of his previous work and said his character's questionable choices throughout the film intrigued him. Hoult read novels written by S. E. Hinton to prepare for the role. The film was shot in a deserted location in South Africa; Hoult said filming in the hot weather conditions was difficult but the "beautiful" scenery helped to tell the story better.[70] He said it also made him more conscious of environmental concerns.[71] The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival.[70] He starred in the film along with Elle Fanning, Michael Shannon and Kodi Smit-McPhee.

Mad Max: Fury Road was finally filmed in 2012 in the Namibian desert and was released in theaters on May 14, 2015. Hoult shared a starring role along with Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy in the film, the fourth film in the Mad Max saga. George Miller had conceived Nux, a terminally ill slave, as a "quasi kamikaze pilot"; Hoult said of his character; "he's very enthusiastic and committed and affectionate but also kind of clumsy".[72] To play the role of Nux, Hoult shaved his head and followed a strict diet because his role required him to lose a lot of weight.[73] Nux's makeup consisted of eight silicone prosthetics followed by airbrushing, clay application, and various levels of dirt all over his body. This makeup had to be applied 77 times and took two hours each time.[74] Hoult spoke about the stunts and action in the film, describing the entire experience as "scary", but spoke favorably about the stunt team and Miller's choice of incorporating live action sequences instead of using a green screen.[75] Fury Road opened to critical acclaim on 14 May 2015 and grossed more than $378 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film in the Mad Max franchise. The technical aspects and stunt sequences drew particular praise from film critics and it was credited for reviving interest in the series.[76][77] Hoult's "fabulously unhinged" performance was also praised by many critics.[78][79]

He's basically one of those actors that ticks every box. Not just his talent, not just his skill level and not just his ability to collaborate under difficult circumstances. But also as a human being. For such a young person, Nick is quite exceptional, mainly in the way that he displays grace under pressure. - George Miller[80]

In 2015, Hoult had three other releases—the feature film adaptation of Gillian Flynn's mystery novel Dark Places (2015) with Charlize Theron; Owen Harris' dark comedy Kill Your Friends (2015), based on the 2008 novel of the same name; and Equals (2015), a dystopian, science-fiction romantic drama directed by Drake Doremus.[81][82] Response to Hoult's performance in Equals was favorable;[83][84] Peter Travers called him and his co-star Kristen Stewart "quietly devastating", said the duo were "finely matched both in their androgynous beauty and in their performances of a repressed humanity".[85][86]

The action film Collide (2016), which had Hoult star as a drug dealer, was released in the United States in February 2017.[87] In the film he worked together with the actors Felicity Jones, Ben Kingsley and Anthony Hopkins.[88] The film garnered negative reviews; its dismal box office performance was attributed to poor marketing and multiple delays caused by the 2015 chapter 11 bankruptcy of its production company Relativity Media.[89][90] Responses to Hoult's next film, the romance drama Newness (2017), were more enthusiastic.[91] The production had its world premiere at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival; it stars Hoult as one half of a Los Angeles-based couple who meet through online dating and begin an open relationship.[92] Drake Doremus, the film's director, said Hoult's role was unlike his previous work; "a very complex and emotionally mature performance that we haven't seen yet".[93]

Hoult starred in a series of biographical and historical films in 2017; he said he preferred playing characters that might help him improve as an actor and that the "actors I look up to started doing their best work in their early 30s and I'll be hitting that age ... I'm just trying to learn".[94] He portrayed American author J. D. Salinger in Danny Strong's Rebel in the Rye (2017), which chronicles Salinger's life from his youth to the World War II era and the years preceding the publication of his debut novel, The Catcher in the Rye.[95] Hoult auditioned for the role because he was intrigued by the film's script and Salinger's enigmatic personality; "I didn't know he fought in the second world war and landed on D-Day: ... had intermittent PTSD or that he became interested in Vedanta philosophy and meditated and did yoga."[94] To prepare for the role, Hoult read The Catcher in the Rye and biographies about Salinger. Hoult said the biggest challenge was to get a real understanding of Salinger's character; "everyone has an idea of [Salinger] in their mind ... you're creating a character that people have very strong feelings about. You can't prove to be right or wrong through impressions."[96] In the film he appeared alongside the actor Kevin Spacey. Hoult co-starred in The Current War (2017), a dramatisation of the feud between electrical pioneers Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse. Hoult was cast in the role of Nikola Tesla, for which he grew a moustache and attended science lessons about electromagnetism and dynamos.[94][97] He lost weight for his role by following a strict diet.[98] In the film he worked together with the actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Michael Shannon and Tom Holland. In a departure from biographical dramas, Hoult next starred as an American soldier in Sand Castle (2017), a production he described as a very different war film "in terms of the pacing and the emotion ... very under the surface, that futility-of-war idea".[98] He recalled the filming experience in the Jordanian military bases practising clearing procedures: "we put on these masks, get given these guns, are put inside this pitch-black house ... try and hunt down these bad guys hiding inside. You're in all the gear ... the adrenaline starts pumping."[98] Released on Netflix in 2017, the film garnered mixed reviews.[99] In Sand Castle he worked together with the actors Henry Cavill, Logan Marshall-Green, Tommy Flanagan and Glen Powell.

Hoult, 2019.

In The Favourite (2018), a critically acclaimed period drama about Anne, Queen of Great Britain, Hoult played the supporting role of Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer.[100] One of Hoult's favorite pastimes during the filming of The Favorite was naming each and every one of the wigs that his character wore throughout the story. This was shared by one of the film's makeup artists, who said that Hoult had a really good time with this exercise of imagination.[101] In the film he appeared alongside the actors Olivia Colman, Rachel Weisz, Emma Stone, Joe Alwyn and Mark Gatiss.

He co-starred in True History of the Kelly Gang (2019) alongside George MacKay, Charlie Hunnam and Russell Crowe. He next voiced Fiver in the animated television miniseries adaptation of Richard Adams' 1972 novel Watership Down.[102][103][104] In 2019, he recorded, together with actors Anthony Mackie and Samuel L. Jackson, the film The Banker (2020) distributed by Apple TV+ in a film inspired by real events that talks about the “American dream” in the 1960s. The film and the performances they achieved good reviews.[105] In 2019, at the age of 29, he starred in Tolkien along with Lily Collins, a biographical film that tells the life of the English teacher, philologist and writer J. R. R. Tolkien, author of the novels The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings a]]nd The Silmarillion.[106]

2020s–present

Hoult began playing a spoiled, narcissistic, sociopathic (although strangely charming), and childish Emperor Peter III of Russia in the Hulu comedy-drama series The Great (2020–2023).[107] "I don’t think very often you get that chance to do something that's so well rounded: being despicable and funny, but also hopefully quite endearing and strange. It was just something that I was happy doing, and hopefully will get to work with all those people some more", Hoult said.[108] The series proposed an anachronistic and alternative account to historical events, depicting how Catherine the Great became the empress of Russia along with her husband Peter, played by Hoult, the heir to the Russian throne.[109] "I didn’t think I would enjoy playing a character as long as that. Previously, I kind of avoided doing that. And so I was completely wrong, which I was very happy to say. I think it was definitely the right time for him to be killed off. But also, if it had been right for the character, I would keep playing it. That was the thing that was odd about the ending."[108] The series earned a 94% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and appeared on many lists of the best series of 2020, 2021, and 2023. He was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.[110][111] Hoult starred in the series along with actress Elle Fanning.

In 2020 Hoult created his own film production company, Dead Duck Films:[112]

I have always loved the creative process of filmmaking, from start to finish and feel so lucky to have learned from the amazingly talented people I have worked with over the years. I’m thrilled to be launching this company, and to be embarking on this journey alongside such brilliant partners.[113]

Hoult appeared in a villainous role in the thriller Those Who Wish Me Dead (2021)[114] together with the actors Jon Bernthal, Aidan Gillen and Angelina Jolie. Hoult starred in the black comedy film The Menu (2022), alongside Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy, in 2022. It received positive reviews,[115] with Hoult playing an obsessive fan of haute cuisine.

In 2023 he played Renfield, the assistant of Dracula, played by Nicolas Cage, in the film Renfield (2023),[116] a feature film that mixes action cinema with horror to depict Renfield's toxic relationship with Dracula.[117] A Dracula story, but with a modern twist;[118] ​Hoult said, "..so, the Renfield that we've seen in, you know, Bram Stoker's novels and previous films, has been living in the shadow of his boss in this very toxic relationship for a while, and then through the circumstances of this movie, he starts to realize that that's not what he wanted in life, and somehow he was tricked and trapped in this relationship. And he begins to find his voice and ability to finally become a hero himself."[119] Director Chris McKay has said that "there would be no film without him," referring to Hoult.[120]

In June 2023, he was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the actors branch.[121]

Hoult is also a voice actor, providing his voice to different animated characters; such as the character of Jon Arbuckle in the animated film The Garfield Movie (2024),[122] the character Ace Ezequiel in the movie Metegol (2013),[123]​ the character Fiver in the series Watership Down (2018),[124] or the character of Patrick in the Crossing Swords series (2020–2021).[125]

Hoult will be directed by Clint Eastwood[126][127] in the American judicial drama film Juror No. 2 (2024) starring Hoult and Toni Collette.[128] In June 2023, filming began on the film, which will reportedly be the last in Clint Eastwood's career as a director.[129] For Collette and Hoult, it would be their reunion on the big screen 21 years after playing mother and son in About a Boy (2002). Eastwood met with several A-list actors in Hollywood and decided that Hoult and Collette were the ideal candidates to play the leads.[130]

Hoult will also star in Nosferatu, written and directed by Robert Eggers[131] giving life to the character of Thomas Hutter. He will star in the film along with the actors Bill Skarsgård, Lily-Rose Depp, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Willem Dafoe.

He will star in a film based on true events, The Order (2024), playing Robert Jay Mathews, the leader of the white supremacist group The Order, along with actor Jude Law, directed by Justin Kurzel for Amazon Prime Video.[132]

In November 2023, rumors began that the actor was in talks to play Lex Luthor in Superman: Legacy (2025).[133][134][135][136] ​On December 11, through his Instagram account, director James Gunn confirmed that the actor will play Superman's nemesis in the new DC cinematic universe.[137][138]

He said of his experience; "I met great people making the best of the situation ... it is heart-breaking in many ways to see the living conditions".[163] Hoult also participated in the Rickshaw Run in January 2017, in which participants drove an auto rickshaw (also called a tuk tuk) for 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) across India to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and World Wide Fund for Nature.[164][165] He has also been associated with Jeans for Refugees, a project and fundraising initiative intended to help refugees around the world.[166] He donated a signed pair of jeans to the organisation; profits from the campaign were donated to the refugee support agency International Rescue Committee.[167]
