Jennifer Lawrence’s ex-boyfriend and X-Men co-star Nicholas Hoult comments on her big
Oscar win!
Hey guys, I’m Melana Scantlin. Hollywoodlife.com has the details.
Jennifer Lawrence met 23 year old actor Nicholas Hoult when they both starred in 2010’s X-Men:
First Class.
They dated for two years, with Lawrence telling Elle Magazine in December:
"He is honestly my best friend, and hopefully I'm his best friend, too...he's my favorite
person to be around and he makes me laugh harder than anybody."
Unfortunately, the romantic part of their relationship ended in January -- but that
didn’t stop Hoult from telling E! just two weeks later that he would be rooting for his
ex to win big this awards season.
And the 22 year old did win big-- earning a SAG award as well as an Academy Award for
her starring role in Silver Linings Playbook.
Hoult talked about his former flame at the premiere of his new movie Jack the Giant Slayer
on Tuesday, saying he was "very, very happy” and “thrilled!" for her.
We don’t know if they two have plans to rekindle their personal relationship, but
when asked about their on-screen romance for the upcoming Bryan Singer-directed X Men:
Days of Future Past, Hoult only says , “We'll wait and see how that relationship develops.”
One thing he does get all fanboy about is the return of some of the original X-Men cast
members.
Hoult gushed about getting the chance to work with the industry vets, telling Collider.com,
“I grew up watching Ian McKellan, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Jackman and those guys in the
X-Men films and that’s going to be really exciting to be on set with them in an X-Men
movie [...] a dream come true definitely.”
Jack and the Giant Slayer hits theaters this Friday....while X-Men: Days of Future Past
is set for a 2014 release.
