I have added photos of Nicholas Hoult from 2014 to the gallery so, you can go there to take a look and enjoy!
As he drove toward the Sonoma Raceway in a $275,000 Ferrari Roma, Nicholas Hoult was becoming increasingly nervous. “I’ve loved car racing since I was a kid, so the opportunity to actually do it, I would be absolutely insane to pass up,” the 32-year-old actor said, his sharp blue eyes widening behind oversized Fendi tortoiseshell sunglasses. “But it’s also terrifying. I think it’s always good to get yourself outside of your comfort zone.”
Hoult has had to drive on-screen many times before, in The Young Ones, in Collide, and most notably in Mad Max: Fury Road. But he has recently been prepping for a more difficult real-life role behind the wheel. He’s been training with Ferrari to potentially join their Challenge Series, a program of races the Italian supercar brand sponsors for owners of its cars.
Hoult drives an electric Jaguar I-Pace in Los Angeles and a motorcycle when in London, and doesn’t own a Ferrari. But, working in concert with the brand, he has attended Ferrari-sponsored driving courses over the past few years, driving a track-only, 670 hp Ferrari 488 Challenge Evo at private circuits in Florida and California and even on the Formula One course in Austin, Texas. The weekend, when The Hollywood Reporter rode shotgun with him, it was his first time on the track without an instructor, and with other cars racing around him.

The actor teases his teamup with Cage in the upcoming Universal movie ‘Renfield’: “I don’t think there’s two more iconic things than Dracula and Nic Cage.”
Nicholas Hoult savored his experience on the set of The Menu.
In Mark Mylod’s darkly comedic thriller, Hoult plays Tyler, an overzealous foodie who brings Anya Taylor-Joy’s Margot to a remote island dining experience, hosted by Ralph Fiennes’ celebrity chef, Julian Slowick. Tyler desperately wants Margot to revel in the experience like he is, but she remains thoroughly unimpressed by the proceeding until things take quite a turn.
Because of the nature of his character and the way Mylod shot the film, Hoult had no choice but to eat more than he usually would in any given scene.
“With Tyler, I just had to be constantly eating. Mark [Mylod] also shot this film with roaming cameras, and I just wasn’t sure what was going to be on screen at any time. So I just had to dedicate myself and commit to eating,” Hoult tells The Hollywood Reporter.
Hoult is also looking ahead to his second collaboration with Nicolas Cage courtesy of Chris McKay’s Renfield. The English actor plays the eponymous role of Renfield, the right hand to Cage’s Dracula, and Hoult can’t wait for the world to see what Cage has cooked up.
“To get to work with him whilst he was playing Dracula, I don’t think there’s two more iconic things than Dracula and Nic Cage,” Hoult shares. “As a person, he’s such a pure soul to be around, and I’m excited for people to see what he’s done. It’s original, but it’s steeped in a lot of history, Dracula history and folklore. So it’s exciting, even though it’s a very bizarre, elevated tone for an action-comedy.”
In a recent conversation with THR, Hoult also discusses his conversations with Taylor-Joy about acclaimed filmmakers George Miller and Robert Eggers, as Taylor-Joy prepped for the former’s Furiosa and Hoult preps for the latter’s Nosferatu.

In the new film ‘The Menu’ Nicholas Hoult and Anya Taylor-Joy play a couple who travel by boat to an exclusive restaurant on a small island. But what starts off as a satire of an exacting chef (played by Ralph Fiennes) and his impossibly precious tasting menu soon takes a dark turn as the guests realize there’s more danger than food on the menu. I spoke with Nicholas Hoult about his own culinary tastes, how he approaches making his characters more unique and why it’s more fun than usual to prep for a film about eating.
In ‘The Menu’ your character risks everything to experience the ultimate tasting menu. Did you indulge in these type of meals for ‘research?’
A lot of times you’re preparing for a role and you’ve got to get to the gym — whereas for this it was ‘all right, sit on the sofa and watch Chef’s Table.’ I did go to a couple of fancy restaurants, not ones that were as intense as the one in this film, and that was one of the joys of this project. It was eye opening to look into that world and see how dedicated these chefs are and I was completely in awe of what they create.
Has it changed the type of places you like to go out to?
No, it’s a nice treat occasionally, but the restaurant in the film is so pretentious that when they bring out the bread course they don’t bring any bread, because bread isn’t meant for this (wealthy) clientele. I would never want to be in a restaurant like that. I’m a much more normal, home-cooking person, so I like a comfortable easy place.
Are you a home chef?
Yeah, I love cooking. I really get into it when I’m not shooting. I find it nice to be in the kitchen. And I’ve recently got into baking too. When I’m traveling a lot and not getting to spend too much time at home I like to do a Sunday roast. I like the ritual of it. They’re also pretty easy, you know. Throw it in the oven for a few hours and presto!

Nicholas Hoult is set to costar with Bill Skarsgard and Lily-Rose Depp in Robert Eggers’ upcoming Nosferatu remake
Nicholas Hoult isn’t shooting his upcoming Nosferatu remake yet, but he’s excited to get started.
At the New York City premiere of Hoult’s new movie The Menu on Monday, the 32-year-old actor told PEOPLE that he’s spoken about working with director Robert Eggers with his The Menu costar Anya Taylor-Joy, who worked with Eggers on 2015’s The Witch and 2022’s The Northman.
“She said that Robert, in terms of being a director, is unbelievable in his pursuit of the right storytelling but also demands a lot of his actors and that’s something I’m excited about,” Hoult tells PEOPLE of advice Taylor-Joy, 26, has given him on working with Eggers.
Hoult added that he is “excited about being really pushed” by director Eggers, who had The Northman star Alexander Skarsgård add about 20 lbs. of muscle to play a Viking warrior in his epic revenge movie released in April.
“I’m a fan of the original film but also I know [Eggers has] wanted to make the movie since he was eight years old, so I’m excited to see what he brings to that story and I hope I can serve it in a good way,” Hoult says of the upcoming movie.
Hoult said Monday that while he is not yet at work filming Nosferatu, Eggers “just started sending me some costume looks and some makeup looks the other day” for his yet-to-be-revealed character.
“Gradually, the momentum builds and the ideas build and the intensity and reality of it all build and once the first day comes about, hopefully that’s reached a peak and we’re ready to go there and and the emotions are all bubbling,” he tells PEOPLE.
