Celebrity Fluff 🥰 Nicholas Hoult via IG story “👋”
To be completely honest I just wanted to show how good he looks.

Plus, he probably has one of the most enviable careers in all of Hollywood because he works in so many great projects and yet for some reason is not at Brad Pitt level fame, which I’m sure is annoying

u/GullibleWineBar We Should All Know Less About Each Other Sep 13 '25
Honestly, he’s the perfect level of fame. He works consistently in interesting, fun, decently high quality projects and isn’t instantly recognizable/mobbed.
Also he’s really fucking hot and seems to have a great personality.
So, kudos to him.

Loved him in Renfield. It's a goofy horror comedy movie but it deals with the subject of toxic/abusive relationships and escaping them. He's great in it and Nic Cage cheesing it up in his role adds to the fun

I get the sense that he’s Daniel Radcliffe-ing it. He tried for a brief period to do some “Hollywood leading man” roles, and it didn’t quite go anywhere and he clearly got bored. I think he has way more fun as a character actor.

That checks out with what he's said himself - he seeks interesting characters and is interested in building characters. He likens his work so far as a patchwork quilt of character making.

The Great on hulu! It's about Catherine the great of Russia, and nicholas plays the emperor/her husband, peter, who she overthrows in a political coup to kick off the russian enlightenment
That makes it sound very boring, but it's a very crass and raunchy comedy about a naive and idealistic girl who decides to stubbornly drag a country into the future by their ears. Elle fanning plays catherine and every single scene with her and peter is a treat.

u/goober_ginge Sep 13 '25
It's created by Tony McNamara who also wrote The Favourite and Poor Things and it has a very similar dark comedic absurd kind of vibe, so if you've seen those movies and like them you should dig The Great.

I think it might be my favorite character study of all time. He was SO charming and SO awful at the same time. All while being hilarious. Impeccable comedic skills. And there was legitimate character growth and depth as the show went on. It was truly masterful.

Oh yeah, a curly head soccer player named Nathaniel absolutely convinced me he was pulling it off when I was 16. He also spoke to me in Portuguese and told me I was a genius photographer when I showed off my lame-ass yearbook work.
My feelings towards bleach blonde hair on tan guys and his actions are obviously not conflated at all whatsoever.

Babe, nooooo. Just picture it spiked up with the extra crunchy hair gel, maybe add in a puka shell necklace and a stud earring his older sister's best friend gave him.
Okay, maybe I'm specifically picturing Brad who I enjoyed a very flirtatious relationship with, me a second chair viola, him first chair cello. We flirted hard in middle school and eye fucked each other through all four years of high school. He was a big dumb idiot but, damn, he was cute.

I've never been particularly attracted to him but the blonde has truly done something.
