Nicholas Hoult recently revealed how much he is looking forward to sharing a unique experience with his son Joaquin in his new film project. To play Lex Luthor in the film Superman, Hoult recalled his father’s role, as his father had nurtured his interest in comic books during his childhood. The film was not just an acting opportunity, but also a personal journey to experience the world of Superman with his son.
Hoult, who has played a variety of roles in his diverse acting career, from comedy to action to horror, is very happy to be a part of the film. He is also starring in the film along with prominent actors such as David Kornswet and Rachel Brosnahan.
In an interview at CinemaCon, Hoult explained how his son Joaquin helped create Lex Luthor’s bald look for his character. Joaquin himself inspired his father by shaving his head, which further strengthened their bond. Hoult also spoke about his second child, but did not reveal any details about the child.
He said, "I'm so happy that this movie is an amazing experience for my kids to watch. I feel so happy knowing that Joaquin is going to enjoy it." In this way, the film became more than just a professional achievement for him, but also a joyful moment to share with his family.
