So Tom Ford directed a movie. It’s called A Single Man. I knew Colin Firth is the lead in it, so I watched the trailer. And spotted another familiar face. Sure, handsome Matthew Goode and beautiful Julianne Moore, but hold up — is that…? — holy geez.
I knew from About a Boy that Nicholas Hoult was going to have an interesting face when he grew up — hello, those brows and eyes — but I did not expect this. Okay, so if I lived in the UK I’d already know because, since his dorky-boy role with Hugh Grant, Hoult has been a busy little actor, most notably in an E4 teen series called “Skins.” But I don’t live in the UK, nor did I see A Single Man at TIFF. So I googled.
Turns out that in addition to appearing as a stalker-y character called Kenny in this flick, 6’4″ Hoult does some modelling. As my friend Jenn W. noted when I told her about his new contract, he’s gone from “Killing Me Softly” with a tambourine to a gig as the face of Tom Ford International.
Photogenic much? Ford calls Hoult “Lollipop.” Not for the reason you might think.
Inside, I’m a 12-year-old girl.
There are other images online that I could not post here because although Hoult is now 20, I’m not a 12-year-old girl.
A darned good-looking film, A Single Man marks designer Tom Ford’s directorial debut and is creating Oscar buzz for Firth. It opens Christmas Day.

Woah I had to do a double take just then… I cannot believe he looks like that now…. haha!
I know, right?
omg so cute! Although im sure him growing up looking like that was never in question!
See, I knew he’d be “cute.” But he’s more than cute! I’d be obsessed if I were more appropriately aged…
I know, I can’t get over how he’s turned out!! Are we on for this film together?
Definitely! Thanks for telling me about this film in the first place!
This movie has definitely been on my must-see list since I first heard about it!
It’s definitely on my list, that’s for sure. Not really because of Nicholas Hoult, though, although now he’s an element. It looks like a beautifully shot film, plus I’m keen to see how Tom Ford does with it.
