I've just been sent this bit of news through by HotCherry the
PR company behind people like Nicholas Hoult, so I thought i'd share it with you.
I'm a bit of a fan of Hoult personally, he was brilliant in Skins and even better in About a Boy, although I haven't seen A Single Man yet myself. Skins in my opnion went right down hill once he stopped being in it.
Anyway, here is the latest info regarding his life and what he's up to now...
New role for Nicholas Hoult English actor who starred in About A Boy, E4’s cult teen series Skins and, most recently, in Tom Ford’s directorial debut, A Single Man and the upcoming Clash of the Titans, has been made the NSPCC's first ambassador for children and young people, encouraging young people to get in touch with ChildLine by phone on 0800 1111 or online to talk about their problems. Nicholas has also been nominated for a BAFTA Rising Star Award, the award for an actor or actress set for great things.
To celebrate the appointment as NSPCC ambassador and the BAFTA nomination, an exclusive video clip of Nicholas has been released in which he talks candidly about his time on the set of A Single Man, about exploring the different layers of emotion, expressing it on screen, staying focussed on set and connecting with other human beings.
