'It was chaos out there, to be honest .'
Nicholas Hoult
Skins (2007-2008)
In Mad Max: Fury Road, actor Nicholas Hoult plays Nux, a member of Immortan Joe's army of War Boys. Immortan Joe uses cruelty to rule over the settlement known as The Citadel. The War Boys actually start out as War Pups, and if they survive long enough they then become War Boys. Most of them are plagued by cancer and it's because of the his disease that Nux first comes in contact with Max, or at least in contact with Max's blood...
Hoult's Nux has one of the films most distinct character transformations, going from being loyal to Immortan Joe, to working with Max and Furiosa to save the wives and bring them home to take back the Citadel. Initially, director George Miller was on the fence about casting Hoult. George worried about the size discrepancy between Nicholas and Tom and that the character of Nux was younger than Nicholas was at the time.
'The second audition was four hours long, and I'd never been through something like that. You were asked to sit opposite your partner, look at them, and say everything you're feeling and thinking. We were also given these single words or phrases to repeat over and over again to each other for about twenty minutes.'

When Nicholas left the room, George turned to casting director Ronna Kress, who been championing for Nicholas for the role, and said, 'Yes, I see it now.' Nicholas was quickly hired for the role. I previously posted an Actors & Skin piece on Hoult back in 2020, (HERE:) For this piece, I updated with a few more caps and another hot naked walk-a-way from Hoult from the series The Great.
