Nicholas Hoult: From Versatile Actor to Hollywood Style Icon

Nicholas Hoult redefined his career in 2024 with challenging roles, memorable humour, and his rise as a style icon.

Nicholas Hoult wraps up a spectacular 2024, cementing his place as one of the most versatile and charismatic actors of his generation. This year, he shone in three roles that showcased his dramatic range: the morally conflicted juror in Juror #2 directed by Clint Eastwood, the tormented Thomas Hutter in Robert Eggers’ reimagining of Nosferatu, and an initiate in the hidden structures of power in The Order.

Particularly memorable was his collaboration with Eastwood. “He is cinema in so many ways,” Hoult remarked on Late Night with Seth Meyers, highlighting the veteran director’s wit and humour. One of the most talked-about anecdotes was the nickname Eastwood gave him after watching his performance in The Great: “Cap’n Lingus.”

Hoult also made a mark in the fashion world. With the help of stylists like Wendi and Nicole Ferreira, he has become a male style icon, sporting outfits from Saint Laurent, Prada, and Bottega Veneta.

With the release of Nosferatu and his upcoming role as Lex Luthor in the new Superman film, Hoult ends the year firmly established as one of Hollywood’s most fascinating actors.
