Nicholas Hoult was only 11 years old when he was cast in the critically-acclaimed 2002 film About a Boy, for which he was nominated for a Young Artist Award for Best Performance by a Leading Young Actor in a Feature Film. But these days, Hoult is no longer a boy. He is now known as Beast in the current series of X-Men films and is considered one of the hottest young English actors around. Don’t think that he only gets credit for playing Beast these days either. Hoult can also be seen in Mad Max: Fury Road, Rebel in the Rye, and The Current War.
