It is crazy that he was actually 16 in skins. In American shows, they will have someone 26 play 16
Like Euphoria
@@angiieVEVO - Pretty sure Euphoria would be illegal to make if the cast weren't at least 18.
@@JRWall-hf9mq indeed xD
Omg i thought he was so much older.. Thst character had so many layers of bs amd he actually played him with compassion.. 16.. Bro.. Did not expect that
Riverdale
He seems like a really grounded person for someone who was a child actor and is still working. I like him a lot.
I mean, he cheated a bunch of times on Jennifer Lawrence when they were together and then got a girl pregnant right after they broke up, but yeah, super grounded. That said, I do like him as an actor.
@atmosvere get over it buddy. That's Hollywood cheating and getting someone pregnant is a part of recipe of an actor.
He's my bae!
atmosvere wtf, when he cheated on Jlaw?
@@W4TSKY that’s literally not true but go off
I remember him in Skins and I thought "Yeah, I am going to see this guy again" and I was right! Only the best in the future for Nicholas
He's gotten so much better since Tony Stonem!!!! Love him
Recommend "The Great." His and Elle Fanning's performances were great.
a lot of talented people had their first roles in skins
Him and Kaya were mesmerizing on Skins!
He's a child actor!
Warm bodies was such a good movie. People don’t talk about it enough.
People don't talk much "About A Boy" and that's a beautiful book/ film
my partner actually likes Warm Bodies, I originally watched and had it and when we got together I put it on and multiple times in our first couple years he'd ask to watch it
I watched it when I was in high school and LOVED IT. Just finished it again today and it still holds solid. I also love Teresa Palmer
That's true
Maybe bc he was so good as Tony, i cant picture him as Sid at all.
Samee
Binged The Great yesterday, he did an amazing job with Peter, you love him and dislike him at the same time.
Yes! And he was so hilarious in the role!
Same! He is great in comedies!
He's freaking amazing and I'm just going back now and going through his roles and oh he was in that oh my God and that and that oh Jesus Christ who is this guy I was intrigued at the Golden Globes cuz I think he was nominated and now it's like man he is quite something
Huzzah!
I read he had to finish that show and sadly couldn’t play Gabriel in Dead Reckoning after Tom Cruise liked his audition for Top Gun Maverick
I actually met nicholas hoult at my local park while i was doing pull ups, and he came to join me. Really polite and friendly person
I've never been so jealous of someone until i read this comment
please tell me what park this was in !!
Paddington recreation park
I would have ravished him

Thank you I was looking for warm bodies
@@aislynnevangeline7101 warm bodies stan heree
At this point, just seeing his name on the cast list is enough to pique my interest, because he picks such interesting projects to be in.
An underrated actor imo. He was the best side character in all the x men movies he was in, and def had the best performance in all of fury road to me. I think he’s gonna go on to Star in several more real classics like fury road.
The best,Tony Stonem in the original UK Skins hands down.
that first iteration with that OG cast was just fantastic. I knew watching it at the time we were going to be seeing some of those actors again. Was fun to watch Nick's career take off knowing i'd got in on what was essentially the ground floor and also when Hannah Murray and Joe Dempsie popped up in Game of Thrones.
Love him in “The Great”. So well acted u love him n hate him all at the same time.
completely, and pity him too
My favourite part is at the S1 part10 when he cried .
I'M HERE FOR SKINS 😂😭 I'm so proud of him!!!! How far his come x
How far *he's come.
Finally he talks about skins!!! The best show I’ve ever watched!! Tony stonemmmm
I watched Skins because I loved him in Warm Bodies. To this day, Skins is by far the best teenage drama show still. Euphoria is a close second.
You should watch SKAM! It has different version, the original is Norwegian, and it's one of the most realistic depictions of teen life and drama in high school!
kehkasha I HAVE watched SKAM and I LOVE it!!!! Seen the OG version and Skam France 💞
@@slenderhatesyou I love skam so much! And skam france is my absolute favorite, I love lucas and elliot!!! I'm currently seeing skam italia
He and Sam Clufflin should play brothers somewhere.
or lovers
and ed skrein
Claflin.
oH MY GOD, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
YES WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABT THIS MORE
He played the role of a sociopathic liar so well in skins at 16 I genuinely believed he had to have been like that irl
Currently watching "The Great." It's hard to believe this is the same guy. Lol
I remember watching Skins when studying abroad, and while the entire cast is brilliant Nicholas immediately stood out to me as a serious acting talent. It’s been great watching his career flourish, here’s to him continuing to kill it.
Never thought of it before but I could totally see him as Sid, given his roles prior.
Who is Sid?
Another character in Skins
That beard looks bloody great on him
Nick doesn't get enough love for his performance in The Favourite.
He did such a good job playing Peter in The Great. I mean I really hated that character, but that was the point!
Those AirPods sounds horrible, glad he still did the interview!
Wow, he literally described all the things I'm interested in regarding movies and acting, and what an erudite young man.
Fantastic interview 👍🏻
Wish they would have included Equals, a really underrated film.
No! They skipped Equals? That's my favorite Nicholas Hoult movie.
Skins is one of a kind. The fact that everybody played their own age made it feel so real 😍😍
The guy has always been a grounded actor and always delivered a great performance in his roles.
Hold up. He did a whole audition in Stewie Griffin's voice lol!?!? We need that footage ASAP.
Why isn’t anyone else talking about this lmao
Goddamnit! I wisu it happened
I’ve truly loved him since Skins!
He's one of those actors when you discover him (like I did in The Great), he looks very familiar and then you're compelled to see his IMDb page, and it's like "oh, that's right, he was in that movie!" He's a good actor.
He was iconic as Tony. So talented ❤️
this is exactly what i need after i’ve been rewatching skins 😭
me too！！
Passed over The Current War. Would have loved to hear him talk about Tesla.
I haven't seen a whole lot of his films but in everyone of them I've seen he's enthralling and his characterization always comes across very well.
Best quarantine interview I've ever seen
just completed all the seasons of skins last week, watching interviews of every actor talk of the show, and hadn't found much of Nicholas Hoult. now this drops in the perfect time, i'm so happy
I love how versatile he is as an actor! I would happily watch anything he's in.
Also, both Mad Max and About a Boy are among my favourite movies.
Such a well-spoken guy! Can't wait to see what he gets up to in the next few years!
It's crazy that major media's using webcam footage when they can just ask them to use the main camera of a separate unit while the interviewee talks on the webcam.
A lovely actor and such an endearing chap to listen to!
I been following his career since About A Boy - what a great man he has become!🥀💘
I loved about a boy when it came out and remember being very excited that his career started taking off when he popped up in skins.
I’ve always had a HUGE crush on him 😍💕😭
Smart, humble and handsome. This guy.
I remember him in About a Boy and I've been a fan ever since! Amazing actor!
Oh, what a day. What a lovely day.
I loved him in “Warm Bodies” ♥️
I just rewatched About a boy. Such a wonderful film. After seeing what an amazing job he did as a kid in About a boy, I can see why he would have wanted to portray Sid. Although, I'm glad he didn't because he was such a perfect Tony.
Overall, Nicholas is a brilliant actor. Thank you for this interview.
Been a fan since About A Boy, great actor!
Love him ❤️ I wish they included Equals, Newness, and The Banker
I feel stupid, I've watching most of these movies and just realized this man was in all of them.
I feel he is a fun person to be around because all the characters he plays has such personality
I love that this series is continuing. But I think GQ could afford to send the stars a Facebook Portal Plus so they have easy access to guaranteed top quality video and sound clips to edit.
Really love Mr. Hoult too. Can't wait to see him in more films and later in life being a great leading man.
Love skins. Last episode had me crying like a baby. And warm bodies is an awesome movie as well.
Does a flawless American accent. Sounds funny hearing his real accent
I watched newness before I watched skins I'm just figuring out there the same person
sopapia Bruce psst “they’re” .
@@EEVictory13 I was tryna have a nice moment and you couldn't let it slide?
sopapia Bruce actually I was letting you know for future reference, in no way was it judgment. It was more along the lines of hey I wouldn’t want you to be embarrassed in the future. Online, sometimes intentions can be lost.
@@EEVictory13 I'm not embarrassed by my bad grammar. the only instance I would be is if someone were to point it out...
He is fantastic in The Great. 👍
Both Warm Bodies and Jack the Giant Slayer came out when I was 12 years old. I vividly remember watching the latter at a drive-in theatre and I can’t tell y’all how many times I’ve watched Warm Bodies since. I bought it on iTunes ASAP and it was always my go-to movie for traveling, free time, or just for a feel good night. Now I absolutely adore The Great! Nicholas is simply killing the game.
The Great is Great. Your characterization is very endearing for his position. Clutch your mothers pearls.
About a Boy is one of my favorite movies! Love it!
Mine too! And he was so great in it.
Boobalopbop same!!! I have to watch it at least once a year
"I had cocktails with Colin Firth and afterwards we had to get someone to clean the sheets . . ."
Boy his like fine wine now
Watched him in About A Boy just now.
Love Nicky Hoult! LOOOOOVE him!
I wished he talked about sand castle, great movie
I don't get why all these companies record the screen footage of the video call instead of getting the celebrities to record themselves using their phone or camera (they gotta have one) and sending that he footage
I met Nicholas Hoult last year.
GQ should make a breakdown about ceremonial military units (guard changes etc). You could have a guard, a marine or a British guardsman to judge it. It would be nice to include the Greek Evzones in it.
I can listen to him talk all day long
So talented and handsome❤ Sometimes he reminds me of Sam Claflin (they should play brothers in some film) But also sometimes Nick reminds me of Tom Cruise when he was younger.
Such an amazing actor, I loved "The Great" !!! 👑
I loooove The Great! Can’t wait for next season!
Just watched Warm Bodies yesterday! It's great movie :)
About a Boy is one of my favorite movies to this day. Gosh I feel old
I love him he will always be R to me ❤️ that’s the first movie I seen with him in it and I fell in love lol he’s amazing
Me too
He was wonderful in Warm Bodies, and that's an underrated film
Great movie no cap
Love him so much. Wish to watch more of him. BTW The Great is really great.! 😉
Totally in love with this man. And his acting too 🥰
I loved about a boy it was absolutely hilarious he played the role of the awkward weird kid so well omg
Didn’t realise how many movies I’ve seen with him in it! Idk why I never really recognised him in his roles. A lot of them had makeup so maybe I’m just bad at recognising facing with makeup or hair changes? Hahahaha Fab actor! 🙌🏻
LOVED Warm Bodies. Fun spin on Romeo and Juliet.
I remember seeing About a Boy, it was an okay film, but I did definitely think that he was destined for a big career.
I think he's such a fantastic actor. If they ever remade The House of the Seven Gables, I think he'd be a great Holgrave.
Mad max performance was on point.
I clicked like on all the comments about his performance in The Great. His Peter is just so funny in the show and despite all the horrible stuff his character does in it, he still gets you to care about Peter.
I had a HUGE crush on him in middle school. still do though
Watch him in True History of the Kelly Gang! A good new movie with some incredible performances.
I’ve seen all his show and movies some more than 10 times
A surprisingly low amount of views?! (Maybe due to the pandemic?) He's done some great films and it's so interesting to hear his experiences.
Dude doesn’t age. One of the ageless men of the screen.
He is only 30.
Fully aware but if he played a teenager, it would totally be believable.
NH was in that Sheridan film Those Who Wish Me Dead playing as an American assassin. It was unexpected. He was gooooood!!!!
Nicholas Hoult
I remember him as a baby in skins 😭
"What a Lovely Day"
I loved Warm Bodies!!!
I clicked on this solely for A Single Man. He's right about the audience projecting onto his character. I wanted him to be flirting with Firth and genuinely want to be with him (professor/student inappropriateness aside). I just wanted Firths character to be comforted. For him to find some happiness, even if fleeting, to take him out of his pain. Hoult's blue eyes are also incredibly mesmerizing. I felt as if he was seducing me! haha
I knew he would be a star after watching ''Skins'' .
Great actor. He’s so funny in the new series The Great. I think of him like a younger, English version of Ethan Hawke.
Love that he was 16 in Skins, the UK keeps it real...
It’s nice seeing he’s one of those actors who got into acting as a child and gratefully is relevant and successful as an adult like Natalie Portman or Christian Bale
I remember him as beast off x-men
I wish they would have shipped him a proper mic so the audio quality was better.
Requesting Post COVID redo haha
I find it somewhat comforting to know that even incredibly talented, genuine, decent, handsome, A-list actors may ALSO have a hideous sofa (albeit in the Coronovirus era)...
