Nick Hoult Interveiw by Handbag.com

When most of us last saw him in ‘About a Boy’, Nicholas Hoult was an awkward twelve-year-old boy with goofy eyebrows and a bowl shaped hairstyle. Now 17, he’s grown up into a strapping and very handsome young man. Unfailingly polite, he’s quite unlike the jack-the-lad type character Tony he plays in the much-hyped teenage comedy-drama ‘Skins’ on E4.

Has it been difficult to shift going from child actor to a teen/adult actor? Have you worried about making that transition?
No, I haven’t really worried about it. I’ve been pretty lucky because I’ve changed quite a lot from ‘About a Boy’. People don’t really recognise me from that anymore and I think that’s helped quite a lot.

You’ve worked with loads of very famous actors – Hugh Grant, Nicolas Cage, Richard E Grant, Julie Walters – does it faze you at all?
Not particularly – you forget who they are when you’re working with them. When you doing a scene, you don’t think of them as that person but as that character you’re playing opposite, so it’s not really too worrying. You can’t think about it because you got a job to do as well. But when you look back on it, it’s pretty amazing – I’ve been pretty lucky to work with them.

Are you and Hugh still mates, do you go around to his place and play games like in ‘About a Boy’?
No, I actually haven’t seen him in quite awhile, but Harry Enfield who’s in ‘Skins’ knows him and told him he was working with me. And Hugh got quite neurotic about what it was and why he wasn’t in it.

So maybe we can expect a guest appearance in ‘Skins’ by Hugh then?
Umm…maybe!

Tell me about ‘Skins’.
Basically it’s a drama comedy following around a group of seventeen-year-olds. It follows them through their lives, what they get up to at home and with their friends.

Is it a pretty realistic portrayal of modern teenage life?
Yeah, it is. Obviously it’s heightened a bit for entertainment value and written to be funny, so some of the things are above average for teenagers. But then again there are other things that are typical. Like what they get up to, their relationships with friends and parents – that’s realistic to average teenage life.

Are you anything like your character Tony, the best-looking most popular boy in school?
(Very emphatically) No, I don’t think so.

He’s a bit of a bastard isn’t he?
There are blokes like that around and you base it on that. When I read the script I didn’t really think I’d like Tony at all. But I got lucky to be playing a very different character from myself – it’s fun playing someone else.

There seems to be a lot of sex, drugs, swearing and general unacceptable teenage behaviour going on in ‘Skins’ – is it embarrassing or uncomfortable to film that type of thing?
Most of the time it’s not uncomfortable because you know it’s not real, you’re just playing a character and that’s what the character does. You do tend to forget though, that it’s going to be broadcast.

So what about if you sit down to watch it with your parents – would you be embarrassed?
Yes! Very.

‘Skins’ seems unique in that it’s actual teenagers playing teenagers and not twenty-something actors.
Yeah, the good thing about the cast is that we’re all about the same age, and the right age for our characters. They didn’t get 22-year-olds to play teenagers – they would have had a different mindset.

Do you have any input into your characters then?
Yeah, definitely. All the actors are allowed to have input into their characters and change lines if they don’t like them. Or they can add to them what feels right. The directors and writers are very good with that. They feel we know what’s the best for the character, as we’re the ones playing them.

Do you prefer doing TV to film?
It’s not really different. ‘Skins’ was a long shoot – six months – which was quite difficult, being away from stuff for so long. But TV, film, they’re the same for me, really. I don’t mind either or as long as the script is good, the director is good and it’s an interesting character.

You seem to have played quite a variety of roles, from ‘About a Boy’, to ‘Wah Wah’, ‘The Weather Man’, ‘Kidulthood’ and now ‘Skins’. Do you have a career plan of sorts or has it been more by chance?
It’s just gone that way. I’ve always wanted to do lots of different parts and again, do things that are interesting with good scripts and good directors. I’ve been pretty lucky, so no, I haven’t planned it particularly.

Are you working on any projects at the moment?
No, just to going back to school, catching up, and doing my A-levels.

I think people who haven’t seen you since ‘About a Boy’ will be surprised how much you’ve changed. Are you prepared to be a heartthrob?
(Laughs) I haven’t really thought about it too much.

You’ve got to google yourself. When I did, a lot of girly fansites came up about you, all proclaiming how much they fancied you.
I haven’t really encountered that! I’m not particularly too excited about that sort of thing. I’m more excited to see how the show goes and what people think about it.

Spoilery Episode Synopses

Here your find the episode Synopses for the next 5 episodes for Series 2, the reason I’ve have not posted them all on the front page or put them in the episode guide as some people might see them spoilers, but you can view them here.

Episode 1: Tony and Maxxie
Written by Bryan Elsley
Directed by Aysha Rafaele

Tony is recovering from the massive head injury he sustained at the end of series one. Sid and Michelle are nowhere to be seen, caring for an invalid friend has just been too much for them. So Maxxie is looking after Tony for the day. But Maxxie has his own problems. He desperately wants to leave college and follow his dream to become a dancer, but his Dad Walter (new guest star Bill Bailey) is giving him hell about it. Tony wants to go back to college, but his parents (Harry Enfield, Morwenna Banks) won’t agree to that either. Their world has been rocked to its foundations and they just don’t know what to do with their son. So Maxxie wants out and Tony wants in and they’re going to have to help each other. That’s if the gay hating, ASBO boys on Maxxie’s estate don’t get them first. And all the while Maxxie has a strange feeling that someone else nearby is on his case too.
Also guest starring Fiona Allen and Geoffrey Hughes.

Episode 2: Sketch
Written by Jack Thorne
Directed by Aysha Rafaele

Maxxie has a creepy feeling that someone is watching him. Someone close by. A hot boy maybe? No such luck. New to the series, Sketch (Aimee-Ffion Edwards) is Maxxie’s stalker. A weird loner, she spends most days shut up in a poky flat looking after her disabled Mum. So her attentions turn to the fit blonde boy who lives on the estate. Soon everything in her life is about Maxxie – If only he would even notice her, if only she wasn’t hopelessly in love with him, if only he wasn’t gay.
Meanwhile, the sixth form college production of “Osama: The Musical” is teetering towards disaster under the heavy-handed guidance of lecherous drama teacher Bruce (new guest star Shane Richie). But Sketch is prepared to do anything to get her leading man Maxxie, and if she can’t have him, she’s going to make sure nobody can – and especially not his current leading lady Michelle. But reality strikes when Sketch finally comes face-to-face with the man she’s set her heart on. So it’s time for plan B, his best friend Anwar?
Also guest starring Bill Bailey and Maria Miles.

Episode 3: Sid
Written by Bryan Elsley
Directed by Simon Massey

Sid hasn’t coped at all well with the fact that his best friend Tony is a shadow of the man he was. And his ‘girlfriend’ Cassie moving away to Scotland hasn’t helped either, particularly when he catches her looking like she’s having the time of her life with a pair of tartan-clad boys. So his mood is not improved much when his Grandad, a notorious Glaswegian hard bastard (Maurice Roëves) arrives, dying of cancer, to say his final goodbyes. He has never liked his son and he likes his Grandson Sid even less. So his arrival makes Sid’s Dad’s (Peter Capaldi) life a misery too. Especially as he’s brought Sid’s Uncle Sandy (Michael Nardonne) and his two weird cousins along for good measure too. Multiply all this by ten when Sid’s estranged Mum (Josie Lawrence) joins in to play happy families. So it’s Jenkins family meltdown. And when Sid comes down for breakfast he ends up making a discovery that nothing could have prepared him for. Sometimes life is just too sudden, just too cruel. So Sid’s life crisis deepens into a chasm of despair, what he really needs now is his best mate, he needs Tony.
Also guest starring Kevin Eldon and a performance from new band Crystal Castles.

Episode 4: Michelle
Written by Sally Tatchell
Directed by Simon Massey

So Michelle’s Mum Anna (Arabella Weir) has gone and done it again. Married another new husband. And worse, Michelle has to move in with them into their poncey new house. But even worse, this time Michelle has to contend with a new big-titted, emotionally-manipulative step sister called Scarlett (Sia Berkeley). Before she knows what’s happening, Scarlett is invading her life, co-opting her friends and offering unwanted advice about what to do about her still incapacitated ex-boyfriend Tony. So when Scarlett inveigles herself onto Michelle’s birthday camping trip to the Gower and starts to move in on the emotionally fragile Sid, Michelle’s got to do something. Sid needs Michelle, he’s her friend, and he’s always had a thing for her anyway, so she does the only thing she knows. And it’s fantastic, and… hang on. How are they going to tell Tony? And who’s that arriving back from Scotland and full of hope for Sid? Now that is bad timing.
Also guest starring Morwenna Banks.

Episode 5: Chris
Written by Ben Schiffer
Directed by Harry Enfield

Chris’ college career has been a long road full of tribulations; drugs, petty theft, non attendance and resounding failure. So when the CCTV cameras catch him shagging Buck Tooth in the Science corridor, the College Director calls time. Chris is out. And out of his college accommodation as well. Homeless, family-less, Chris is going down hill fast, until Jal steps in with a challenge. She’ll try to unwind a little so long as he gets his act together and gets some focus. So Chris gets a job, several jobs, in fact every time he’s fired he gets another one, and he moves into the smallest bed-sit in Bristol. So Jal’s got to chill out, and wow when she does she’s pretty gorgeous, and talented, and cool, and… Could Chris have had his eyes opened wider than any drug could do?
Also guest starring Harry Enfield, Siwan Morris and Stephen Critchlow
