ONTD Original: The ONTD Tag Retrospective - Nicholas Hoult
This is a series where I go through outdated or infrequently used tags and do a deep dive into the posts contained therein.
Our previous subject was Nadine Coyle!
So here we go - today's subject of our ONTD Tag Retrospective is:
NICHOLAS HOULT
Who is he?
Nicholas Hoult is a 31-year-old English actor (can you believe he's only 31?!?!?!). He is a former child actor and has been working consistently since his earliest film appearances (most notably, 2002's About A Boy). You probably know him from: Skins (UK), dating Jennifer Lawrence, witnessing him in Mad Max: Fury Road, and playing Beast in the X-Men movies!
How many posts in his tag?
At the time of submission - 182!
What was the first post?
On May 30, 2009, user QUIZBLORG posted:
Stephen Fry Brings His "Liar" to the Big Screen
Nicholas Hoult was expected to be the lead in the adaptation of Stephen Fry's "Liar." Sir Ian McKellen was also tied to the project - but this film never got made!
It's apparently still in the works, though. Most recently it's been reported that Asa Butterfield will star in the role that was initially supposed to be Hoult's. Jeff Goldblum is also attached. Neither of these 2 men have tags on ONTD.
What is the most recent post?
On August 3, 2021, user sandstorm posted:
Nicholas Hoult Will Play unhinged Dracula stan in 'Renfield'
This post comes 4,448 days (or 12 years, 2 months, and 4 days) after the first post in Nicholas's tag!
Which post received the most comments?
X-Men: Days of Future Past trailer !

Take a trip back in time where you can read people's first reactions to the trailer of one of the best X-Men films in the franchise!
This post garnered 569 comments!
*OP Note: I excluded Live Viewing Posts for awards shows
Which posts stand out?

Nicholas Hoult Also Drags Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston
Posted on July 17, 2016 by user FREJASFACE
The video is still up so you can watch Nicholas Hoult mock Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift's relationship. You also get to see Kristen Stewart react to the comment (that came totally out of left-field wtf??) in awkward KStew fashion!
This post is also notable because there's news of the Kim/Kanye/Taylor feud breaking in the comments!
Any ONTD Originals?
ONTD Original: Is he cute or just tall?

And this is where I reveal to you, dear reader, that I LIED to you above when I told you that the X-Men:Days of Future Past trailer post had the most comments. Not so! This ONTD Original does with a whopping 708!
You'll have to go to the source for the verdict on whether Nicholas Hoult is cute or just tall - I would tell you, but we've already established that I'm an unreliable narrator so you may as well go and find out the truth for yourself!

Nicholas Hoult and Jennifer Lawrence met on the set of X-Men: First Class in 2010 and the relationship went public in 2011 - but this is the first post about their relationship under the Nicholas Hoult tag. ONTD's reaction was, as always, mixed:

This title is bait by the OP - the two arrived separately. The theme this year was Punk: Chaos to Couture. They looked nice but normal and boring - neither chose to dress to theme. Pictures are still available at source #3 in the post.

Lots of casting news, X-Men and Skins stuff, photoshoots and interviews, a ton of JLaw couple posts.
TYFYT!
