On a recent episode of the popular talk show “Friday Night With Jonathan Ross,” young actor Nicholas Hoult opened up about a bizarre fan interaction he had recently experienced. The conversation took a lighthearted turn as Hoult discussed his ripped trousers mishap and his admiration for Sylvester Stallone.
Hoult, known for his roles in movies like “About a Boy” and the TV show “Skins,” admitted that he felt puny sitting next to the host, Jonathan Ross, who humorously flexed his muscles. The conversation then turned to “Skins,” a show that Ross confessed he initially didn’t think was aimed at his age group but has come to enjoy because of his daughter’s enthusiasm for it.
Hoult described “Skins” as a series that focuses on a different member of the main group each week, showing their lives and the interesting dynamics between them. Ross probed further, asking if the wild antics depicted on the show were an accurate reflection of teenage life. Hoult admitted that while there may be some exaggeration for entertainment purposes, it’s difficult to say if it accurately represents teenage life.
Delving into the topic of onscreen intimacy, Ross humorously mentioned the prevalence of explicit scenes on the show. Hoult confirmed that he had recently filmed his first sex scene, describing it as a terrifying experience. Ross cheekily asked if Hoult’s father had given him “the talk” yet, to which Hoult replied with a laugh that he hadn’t received it yet.
The conversation then shifted to Hoult’s popularity among fans, particularly women. Ross recounted an awards show where he witnessed the intense adoration that women had for Hoult. Hoult acknowledged that he does get attention from fans, both male and female, and shared a funny encounter with a fan who simply walked up to him and said, “You’re that guy from Skins. You’re a tw*n.” Despite occasional odd encounters, Hoult expressed his gratitude for the support and kind words he receives from fans.
Ross praised Hoult’s acting career, highlighting his performance in the film “About a Boy” and commending his ability to handle the fame and attention that comes with it. Hoult credited Hugh Grant, his co-star in the movie, as a role model for navigating the industry and managing public scrutiny.
As the interview wrapped up, Ross asked Hoult about his future ambitions. Hoult expressed a desire to continue doing good work and improving as an actor. Ross cheekily asked if Hoult had any non-work related aspirations, like boxing or extreme sports. Hoult admitted that he briefly wanted to try boxing after watching the Rocky films but laughed, disclosing that he quickly realized he was more of a “rub” than a puncher on a punching bag.
The interview concluded on a high note with Ross encouraging Hoult to squeeze Stallone’s arm for him and wishing him continued success in his acting career. Hoult’s affable nature and talent left a lasting impression on Ross and the audience, making for an entertaining and engaging conversation.
