Nicholas Hoult started dating actress, Jennifer Lawrence, in 2010, when they were filming ‘X-Men: First Class’. They broke up in 2014.

He is the ambassador for the basketball team ‘Reading Rockets’ and enjoys attending Grand Prix events all around the world.

Nicholas Hoult was born to Glenis and Roger Hoult on December 7, 1989, in Wokingham, Berkshire, UK. His mother is a piano teacher and his father is a retired British Airways pilot.

He has three siblings including elder brother James (born 1977), elder sister Rosanna (born 1984), and younger sister Clarista Hoult (born 1992). His siblings are involved in acting and dancing and his great aunt was Dame Anna Neagle.

He followed in the footsteps of his elder siblings and even started practicing ballet. He started studying in the ‘The Coombes CE Primary School’ in Arborfield, Berkshire, before moving on to the ‘Arborfield Church of England Junior School’. He grew up fairly independent as his parents supported his dreams.

While attending a play at the age of three with his mother, Nicholas was noticed by a director, who suggested he try acting. This made quite an impression on his young mind and he landed a part in the play ‘The Caucasian Chalk Circle’.

Nicholas Hoult made his acting debut in the movie ‘Intimate Relations’ (1996). The same year he made his TV debut in the episode ‘It Ain't Me, Babe’, on the series ‘Casualty’.

In 1997, he was then seen in the movie ‘Mr. White Goes to Westminster’. In the next few years, he continued making TV appearances on a number of shows including ‘Silent Witness’ (1998), ‘The Ruth Rendell Mysteries’ (1999), and ‘The Bill’ (2000).

By 2001, Hoult had established himself as a talented young amateur actor. This was evident from his numerous appearances on TV shows that year like, ‘The Bill’, ‘Magic Grandad’, ‘Holby City’, ‘Doctors’, ‘Walking the Dead’, and ‘World of Pub’.

2002 was a breakthrough year for Nicholas Hoult, as he landed the role of Marcus Brewer in the comedy-drama film ‘About a Boy’. The movie was not only a box office hit but earned him the 2003 ‘Critics Choice Award’ nomination. He also won the ‘Phoenix Film Critics Society Award for Best Performance by a Youth in a Leading or Supporting Role – Male’.

From 2003 to 2006, Nicholas Hoult was cast in different roles on TV shows like ‘Star’, ‘Keen Eddie’, and ‘Mystery Hunters’. But his focus was more on banking on his ‘About a Boy’ success. Thus, he starred in three movies ‘Wah-Wah’ (2005), ‘The Weather Man’ (2005), and ‘Kidulthood’ (2006). Unfortunately, none of these movies were box office successes.

Nicholas Hoult has acted in some of the biggest blockbusters of the last decade. ‘Clash of the Titans’ made US$ 493 million against a budget of US$ 125 million.

‘X-Men: First Class’, ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past’, and ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’, have in total grossed more than US$ 1.5 billion worldwide.

He co-starred with Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy in one of the lead roles in ‘Mad Max: Fury Road’. The movie was not only a box office success making US$ 378.9 million but also won six ‘Academy Awards’ in 2016.
