I’m Nicholas Hoult, my new movie COLLIDE his theaters next Friday, February 24th. Ask Me Anything!

Hello Nicholas. Did you really spray silver paint over your teeth in Mad Max?

Yes. And it was whatever silver they put on those cake decorations.

When acting in Skins, was there a particular favourite moment of yours?

I mean the favourite moment was spending time with all that gang and now they're like some of my best friends. Certainly driving a Mini when we had stolen Chris' coffin.

What's the favorite scene you've ever worked on? And why was it the scene where you killed a duck with a stale loaf of bread in about a boy?

That is one of my favourite scenes. And I actually like going back to that part of Regents Park. It's a beautiful park.

Watching Sir Anthony Hopkins in Collide. Because he's such a hero of mine.

Is it hard to do an American accent? How do you study or prepare to do those?

Yes, it can be hard to make them sound natural and you have to prepare enough to not think about it when doing scenes. I worked with a dialect coach before and during shooting to make sure it's authentic.

What is the best thing a director can do for you on set?

Create an environment where you don't feel afraid to fail or make a fool of yourself.

How did you get into acting? if you mind me asking! also i enjoy your films! keep up all the hard work you do!

I did a play when I was 3 because a director needed a toddler for their next play and saw me in the audience with my mum and thought I could concentrate well for a 3 year old.

Hey! Huge fan from Singapore, loved you in X-men, skins, and warm bodies!

Who is someone you most enjoyed working with, and why?

I've learnt a lot from everyone, it's great to watch ho people approach work differently. Especially insightful on this movie was watching how much Ben and Anthony love their jobs and commit to their roles.

If you could be any of the characters you played for one day who would you choose and why? :)

I would choose to be Beast because then I could do cool superhero things!

What are 5 essential things that you would bring with you to a deserted island?

Some sort of music player, a machete, cuddly toy, hammock, and some Lego. A lot of Lego.

What music are you listening to right now?

Sampha, Chance The Rapper, some Davie Bowie, Glenn Gould.

What is your favorite dessert?

Sticky toffee pudding! With Vanilla ice cream.

Did u get hurt during shooting? I love you so much

Uh yeah. I got beat up pretty good in this film. I nearly got shot...that was nearly serious. A couple of light crashes. Mainly bumps and scrapes but they really add up after a while.

Who would you rather fight - 100 duck sized Beasts or 1 Beast sized duck?

1 beast sized duck. I reckon I've got in on 1 beast sized duck. You're going to be overthrown by 100 ducks.

Any projects for the future?

Well the moustache is for an upcoming role I have, The Current War. I'm playing Nikala Tesla.

Do you ever plan on branching out into other areas of film making, such as directing?

At the moment no, but if I found a story that I had an individual take on or I felt like I had to tell then yes!

What soccer team do you support?

Reading FC

How was it to film a movie in Germany? Did you liked it?

I met you on the set 3 years ago! Thank you for being such a nice & amazing human being ❤

Fantastic! Loved spending time in Germany with the people and the wonderful crew, plus getting to eat and drink the local food and beer and explore Cologne.

What book is your favorite?

I'd say favourite is East of Eden but I've just finished Shantaram which was good

How much fun was it to drive all the cars and did it help in anyway when driving Mabel?

I guess any motor experience can be useful but Mabel was more like the controls for a motorcycle. And she was way more underpowered than all these cars. I miss her.

What was it like working with Danny Strong?

Danny's is first of all a brilliant writer, and is very concise with his screen plays. And then he's great at guiding you through a performance and bringing things to life.

Hi Mr. Hoult! Congratuwelldone on the film! What was it like working with Eran Creevy? Thanks! :~)

Thank you! Iran's energy is infectious, he loves telling fun, action packed stories and creating this with him was one of the best working experiences I've had.

I think his relentless pace and energy shines through in the movie.

What was the most dificult scene in collide?? Can you Say "Hello" for me?

The most difficult scene was when having to be chased and shot at while on the phone to someone who wasn't really there and swerving traffic, and remember what to say at the same time. There was a lot of balls to juggle at that point.

Would you rather fight 1 horse sized duck or 50 duck sized horses?

What was the last thing you ate?

(Edited to clear up comment confusion)

I'd still fight the horse sized duck, still the better option.
