British actor Nicholas Hoult has established himself as a Hollywood star, even as he has missed out on the opportunity to play some truly iconic characters. The two-time Golden Globe nominee started out as a child actor with a heartwarming performance alongside Hugh Grant in the coming-of-age comedy About A Boy. As an adult, he attained mainstream popularity ever since he began playing the mutant scientist Hank McCoy/Beast in the X-Men movies, starting with 2011’s X-Men: First Class. Since then, he has gone on to appear as the lead in a number of movies, including Warm Bodies, Jack the Giant Slayer, and Tolkien.
