Nicholas Hoult is X Men’s Beast

Nicholas Hoult has landed a role in the new x-men prequel – X Men: First Class.

The ‘Skins’ hotty has been lined up to play ‘Dr Hank McCoy/Beast’ in the new film, which will follow the infamous X Men characters during their younger years at their institution.

If you’re not from the UK you may remember him as the little lad Hugh Grant took under his wing in About A Boy, or also a small role in the recent blockbuster ‘Clash Of The Titans.’

The 20 year old is the second UK actor to be cast in the upcoming movie in the last two days. Aaron Johnson is reported to have snapped up the role of Cyclops in this new Matthew Veughn directed movie.

I think it’s amazing for young (hot) British actors to be given a great platform with international blockbusters. He’s done bloody well since his first performance in About A Boy in 2002.
