The Handsome and Charming Nicholas Hoult

A new Hollywood actor caught my attention in the movie trailer Warm Bodies. His name is Nicholas Hoult, a 23-year old celebrity who starred in Hugh Grant's movie About A Boy. I didn't know him at first, but got interested in knowing who he is after searching the cast of that zombie-inspired romance-comedy film on the internet. When I saw his pictures on Google, he's indeed handsome and charming.

Last March, I watched his two movies Warm Bodies [on 12th] and Jack The Giant Slayer [on 17th] that were released last February 1st and March 1st simultaneously. I made my own movie review about his 2 latest released movies.

It's a novel from Isaac Marion. Nicholas portrayed the role of R [yeah, that character wearing old cappuccino shirt with red jacket and that hair...] who felt in his heart that he was falling in love with Julie (played by Teresa Palmer). In fact he's the only zombie in the film who loves listening to music, playing classic compact discs like Bruce Springsteen and Guns N Roses. He's amazing in playing the role of a zombie. If I were Julie, I will be also afraid at first, but I will fall in love with him.It's better if he will be human again.I will rate this movie 8 out of 10.

Jack The Giant Slayer

This time, Nicholas played a giant slayer named Jack. This movie was kind of adaptation from a famous fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk, but with a twist -- falling in love the princess named Isabelle (played by Eleanor Tomlinson). I liked its special effects and its story from Jack's father telling him to he telling his children the giant legend after marrying the princess.

From playing a zombie-turned-human role to portraying a giant slayer, Nicholas proved that he's one of the new Hollywood actors in 2013, though he starred in previous films like About A Boy, The Weather Man, and X-Men: First Class. Well, I'm looking forward to his upcoming movies Mad Max: Fury Road, Young Ones, Dark Places, Birdsong, and X-Men: Days of Future Past. I can't wait to watch him again on the big screen.
