Nicholas Caradoc Hoult (/hoʊlt/; born 7 December 1989) is an English actor. He has received several accolades, including a nomination for a British Academy Film Award, two Golden Globe nominations, and a Primetime Emmy Award nomination.

His successful start in cinema came at the age of 11 when he portrayed Marcus in About a Boy (2002). Prior to that, he had appeared in minor television and film roles in British productions, having started acting at the age of three with his debut in Intimate Relations (1996). At 17, he played Tony Stonem in the British series Skins (2007–2008), a role that helped him transition from a child star to more complex, darker characters in the film industry, leading to success and critical recognition. It would not be until a decade later that he returned to television, portraying Emperor Peter III of Russia in The Great (2020–2023). His notable filmography includes A Single Man (2009), X-Men: First Class (2011), its sequels (2014–2019), Warm Bodies (2013), Jack the Giant Slayer (2013), Mad Max: Fury Road (2015), The Favourite (2018), The Menu (2022), Renfield (2023), The Order (2024), Juror No. 2 (2024), Nosferatu (2024), and Superman (2025).

Hoult has also made a name for himself as a voice actor, lending his vocal talent to various mediums such as narrations, audiobooks, video games, and characters in animated films and series. His voice acting work includes narrating the audiobook Slam in 2007, portraying Elliot in the video game Fable III (2010), the voice of Ace in the animated film Underdogs (2013), his performance as Fiver in the British miniseries Watership Down (2018), and as Patrick in the adult stop-motion series Crossing Swords (2020–2021). Additionally, he voiced the character Jon Arbuckle in the animated film The Garfield Movie (2024). On stage, he starred in the play New Boy at Trafalgar Theatre in London in 2009. He was included in the Forbes annual 30 Under 30 list in 2012. He is a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Early life

[edit]

Nicholas Caradoc Hoult was born on December 7, 1989,[1] in Wokingham, Berkshire, England,[2] to Glenis (née Brown), a piano teacher, and Roger Hoult, a commercial pilot.[3][4] His middle name, Caradoc (pronounced /ka.ˈra.dɔk/), originates from Middle Welsh and translates to "beloved one."[5] His paternal great-aunt, Anna Neagle, was a renowned stage and film actress, celebrated during the 1930s and 1940s.[6] Hoult has three siblings: an older brother, James (born in 1977), and two sisters, Clarista (born in 1992) and Rosanna (born in 1984).[2][7]

Hoult spent much of his early years in the village of Sindlesham, located in the borough of Wokingham, where his family lived on a quiet estate.[8] His older siblings were passionate about acting and dancing from a young age, participating in classes and auditions. As a child, Hoult often accompanied them to these events, which sparked his own interest in acting. Reflecting on his childhood in a 2011 interview with The Guardian, he described his upbringing as "pretty outdoorsy" and "normal,"[9] noting that he and his siblings enjoyed "running around in the garden and making tree houses."[9]

He attended The Coombes Infant and Nursery School before moving on to Arborfield Church of England Junior School for his primary education.[10]

Hoult also developed a passion for ballet during his early years and performed as a dancer with several high-profile companies, participating in regional productions. He notably took part in prestigious productions of Swan Lake and The Nutcracker with the English National Ballet, showcasing his versatility and dedication to the performing arts.[11] However, in 2002, at the age of 12, Hoult decided to shift his focus towards acting and enrolled at the renowned Sylvia Young Theatre School, marking the beginning of his formal training in the craft.[12]

Initially, Hoult viewed acting more as a hobby than a potential career path. In an interview with The Daily Telegraph, he candidly admitted that he wasn’t “in love with it... I just enjoyed it. It was like playing for a football team. When you got a part it was great. And meeting new people. It was an exciting new world.”[13] His attitude towards acting was that of a young boy discovering a new and thrilling activity rather than a serious professional pursuit.[13]

At the age of 14, Hoult left his previous school and attended Ranelagh School,[13] a Church of England's secondary school in Bracknell, Berkshire, where he continued his education while balancing his growing interest in acting.[13] By 2006, he made the decision to further his studies at Farnborough Sixth Form College in Hampshire, where he studied A-Levels in English Literature, Biology, and Psychology.[7] Despite his academic commitments, Hoult’s acting career continued to gain momentum, and he secured the role of Tony Stonem in the groundbreaking TV series Skins. After filming the first season, he chose to leave his studies behind and dedicate himself fully to acting, marking the turning point in his career.[7]

Apart from his acting pursuits, Hoult also had a musical background. As a child, he played the trombone and was an active member of his local choir.[2] Hoult played basketball for the Reading Rockets, who played in the English Basketball League.[14] He was later appointed as the club's ambassador.[14]

Career

1996–2005: Early career

[edit]

Hoult's acting potential was discovered at the age of three by a theatre director who noticed him during a play starring Hoult’s older brother.[13] Impressed by Hoult’s ability to “concentrate well,” the director offered him a role in his upcoming stage production of The Caucasian Chalk Circle.[13] Hoult began attending auditions, later recalling, “I remember them saying: if you want to do it, go ahead, but it’s not necessary,” a quote that reflected his parents' relaxed attitude toward show business.[13] He quickly realized he both enjoyed acting and had a natural talent for it, making his cinematic debut at age five in the film Intimate Relations (1996) as Bobby Beasley, the grandson of Julie Walters. “I was five years old,” he recalled.[15] “For the audition, I had to sit under a table and pretend to eat cake. I thought, ‘This is easy — I could do this all day,’” he said in an interview with The Guardian.[15]

From then on, he became a preferred choice for roles requiring an “unconventional child who seemed intelligent even when silent,” as described by a journalist from The Daily Telegraph.[16] He went on to appear in several British television series, including Casualty (1996),[17] Silent Witness (1998),[18] Ruth Rendell Mysteries (1999),[19] The Bill (2000),[20] Magic Grandad (2001),[21] Holby City (2001),[22] Doctors (2001),[23] Waking the Dead (2001),[24] World of Pub (2001),[25] Murder in Mind (2002),[26] and Judge John Deed (2002),[27] — all staples of British daytime television.

In 2000, Hoult auditioned for the roles of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter film series (2001–2011), in front of director Chris Columbus, but was ultimately not cast.[28]

At age 11, Hoult landed his breakthrough role as Marcus Brewer in the film About a Boy (2002).[29] Starring alongside Hugh Grant, Toni Collette, and Rachel Weisz, and directed by Chris and Paul Weitz, Hoult portrayed an eccentric 12-year-old boy, the son of a single, suicidal, hippie mother, who becomes the unlikely friend of a selfish adult. Initially reluctant to audition due to the long casting process and potential disruption to his education,[30] Hoult nevertheless took part in the early auditions and eventually secured the role.[30]

A review in The Guardian noted that, from any angle, Hoult was a genuine child star, and the film’s success owed much to the mature and fully developed performances by its leads — including Hoult, who, despite his young age, matched the performances of his co-stars.[31] The film was both a critical and commercial success,[31][29] and Hoult’s performance received widespread acclaim, with The Daily Telegraph’s David Thomas crediting the film’s appeal in part to Hoult’s acting.[30]

Following About a Boy, Hoult continued to refine his craft in television and independent productions. At 13, he appeared in the series Keen Eddie (2004),[32] and had a guest role in Mystery Hunters (2005).[33]

At 15, he made his Hollywood debut as Mike Spritzel, the son of Nicolas Cage’s character in The Weather Man (2005), directed by Gore Verbinski.[34][35]

That same year, he starred as Ralph Compton in the semi-autobiographical film Wah-Wah (2005), written and directed by actor Richard E. Grant.[36] Set during the final years of the Swaziland Protectorate in the late 1960s, Hoult portrayed a boy grappling with the disintegration of his family. The film featured Gabriel Byrne, Emily Watson, and Julie Walters.[37]

2006–2010: Skins and West End debut

The "famous and challenging transition from child actor to an adult career"[38] came with Hoult’s portrayal of Tony Stonem in the First Generation of the British E4 series Skins (2007–2008).[39] In this role, he showcased all the qualities of a leading character, transforming him into a contemporary cultural icon due to the series' undeniable cultural relevance.[40] Both Skins and Hoult became a social media phenomenon, marking a revolution in the English television landscape during the first decade of the century and establishing the show as a true cult classic.[41] Skins was a daring series for its depiction of youth behaviors far from idyllic, which initially made Hoult skeptical about his ability to portray Tony, a manipulative and self-centered antihero.[42] He identified more closely with the secondary character Sid Jenkins.[43] Ultimately, the series was a success, and his performance was well-received; the character gained popularity, and Hoult attracted significant media attention.[39] Skins won the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Philip Audience Award,[44] and Hoult was nominated for the Golden Nymph Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series and the Walkers Home Grown Talent Award.[45] Critic Elliott David praised his performance in a 2016 retrospective review, writing that he "maintained the inexplicable core of his character throughout."[46] During his time on Skins, Hoult felt overwhelmed by the attention he received and at one point considered quitting acting altogether; instead, he left Sixth Form College Farnborough, after the first season and decided to focus solely on his acting career.[46]

Hoult starred in the television film Coming Down the Mountain (2007),[47] produced for British channel BBC One, alongside actor Tommy Jessop, who has Down syndrome. The film and Hoult’s performance received positive reviews, with some media outlets describing it as one of "the most rewarding [productions] of the year."[48] The film was nominated for a BAFTA Award in 2008.[49] That same year, Hoult took on an episodic role in the series Wallander (2008), starring Kenneth Branagh.[50] Around that time, he auditioned for the role of Prince Caspian in The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian (2008).[51] In a later interview, he stated, "One of my worst [auditions] of all time was definitely for Prince Caspian."[52]

He later made his West End theatre debut as Mark,[53] the protagonist in William Sutcliffe's coming-of-age play New Boy, (2009);[54] the production premiered at Trafalgar Studios[55] and had record-breaking ticket sales.[54][55] Also in 2009, he took part in the Help Give Them a Voice campaign, starring in a powerful educational clip that highlights the difficult situation of a victim (Hoult) in need of a social worker.[56] The purpose of the ad was to reduce the stigma surrounding social workers, which had arisen from a well-known case of violence in the United Kingdom.[56]

66th Venice Film Festival, 2009, on the red carpet with Matthew Goode, Tom Ford, Julianne Moore, Colin Firth, Nicholas Hoult and Jon Kortajarena for 'A Single Man'.

Fashion designer Tom Ford, in his directorial debut, cast him as Kenny Potter in the film A Single Man (2009),[57] based on Christopher Isherwood's 1964 novel of the same name, alongside actors Colin Firth and Julianne Moore.[58] Ford had yet to find the right actor—since the originally chosen one had left the film just days before shooting began[59]—and in London, Hoult was recommended to record some scenes and send them to Los Angeles by courier. Two days later, he was woken up by a call at 3:00 a.m. informing him that he had been chosen for the role.[60] For his performance, he was nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star Award at the 2010 ceremony.[61][62] The media described A Single Man as Hoult's first adult role,[63] portraying Kenny as a "spontaneous" character.[64] Since this was his first time playing an American character,[65] Hoult worked on perfecting his American accent.[66][67]

Filmmaker Louis Leterrier cast him in a minor role in the Australian-American action-fantasy blockbuster Clash of the Titans (2010), portraying Eusebios in the story based on the myth of Perseus. The film also starred Sam Worthington, Liam Neeson, and Ralph Fiennes. Clash of the Titans was a global box office success, grossing $500 million worldwide.[68] Hoult provided the voice for the character Elliot in Fable III (2010), an action role-playing game developed by Lionhead Studios and published by Microsoft Game Studios for Xbox 360 and Windows.[69] The game, a sequel to Fable II (2008).

2011–2016: Commercial success with X-Men and Mad Max

[edit]

Hoult was cast as Nux in George Miller's action film Mad Max: Fury Road; the project spent several years in development hell because plans for a fourth film in the Mad Max franchise encountered financial difficulties.[70] Filming was planned for mid-2010, but heavy rain caused severe delays during pre-production in Australia.[71] With no other immediate commitments, Hoult began to look for other prospects. He was eventually cast in the role of Hank McCoy / Beast for the X-Men film series owing to his ability to play somebody "gentle with a capability of being fierce".[72][73] Before filming began on the 2011 Matthew Vaughn-directed instalment X-Men: First Class, a prequel to the franchise's earlier films, Hoult familiarised himself with his character; he said he "formulated [his] own version of the Beast" and took inspiration from Kelsey Grammer's performance in the previous X-Men: The Last Stand because he wanted to emulate Grammer's charm and eloquence. Hoult learned to speak in a dialect similar to Grammer's without trying to imitate it.[74] He also underwent physical training and gained weight to better suit his character.[75] The film, which was widely praised by critics for its script and performances, performed moderately well at the box office, collecting about $353 million against a production budget of $160 million.[76][77] Although it was the lowest-ranked production in the entire series in terms of revenue, Chris Aronson of 20th Century Fox deemed it "an excellent start to a new chapter of the franchise".[78]

Mad Max: Fury Road was eventually filmed in 2012 in the Namibian desert. Miller had conceived Nux, a terminally ill slave, as a "quasi kamikaze pilot"; Hoult said of his character; "he's very enthusiastic and committed and affectionate but also kind of clumsy".[79] Hoult shaved his head and followed a strict diet because his role required him to lose a lot of weight.[80] He also talked about performing stunts in the film, describing the entire experience as "scary",[81] but favourably compared the stunt crew and Miller's choice to incorporate real action sequences instead of using a green screen, saying it made the performance more believable because the actors are placed in a real situation.[81] Fury Road opened to critical acclaim on 14 May 2015 and grossed more than $378 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film in the Mad Max franchise. The technical aspects and stunt sequences drew particular praise from film critics and it was credited for reviving interest in the series.[82][83] Shalini Langer noted that while the real hero of the film was Charlize Theron, "[Hoult] is the closest in the acting department ... as Joe's 'war boy' chasing imagined glory".[84] Hoult's "fabulously unhinged" performance was also praised by Robbie Collin of The Daily Telegraph.[85] Also in 2012, Hoult was included in the Forbes 30 under 30 list.[86]

In 2013, Hoult had starring roles in two major films; he first played a zombie named R in Jonathan Levine's romantic comedy Warm Bodies, which was released on 1 February.[87] An adaptation of Isaac Marion's novel of the same name, the film is presented from point of view of the central character, mostly through narration. Levine said he had difficulties finding a suitable actor to play R until he met Hoult, who was attracted to the project—which he described as "much more than a horror movie" owing to the use of multiple pop culture and literary allusions—and even more so to the role which "bowled [me] over". Hoult said he drew inspiration from Edward Scissorhands (1990) because he thought the central characters in both films share the same difficulties.[88] To prepare for the role of a zombie, Hoult and the other actors practised with Cirque du Soleil performers; he said of the experience; "we would take our shoes off in a dance studio ... kind of grow out of the wall and make our bodies feel very heavy".[89] The film garnered positive response from critics and audiences.[90] Ben Kendrick praised Hoult for the restraint in a potentially Razzie-worthy role: "[he] brings a lot of life to R without stepping too far in the other direction [and although his] zombie mannerisms may come across a bit forced but, overall, his memorable moments outnumber (and outweigh) the awkward ones."[91] Hoult was also described as "an extremely appealing actor, [who] is charm personified" in his role of the living-dead.[92]

Hoult's next film, Bryan Singer's 2013 fantasy adventure Jack the Giant Slayer, failed at the box office and received mixed response from critics. He played the eponymous hero in the film, which is based on the British fairy tales "Jack the Giant Killer" and "Jack and the Beanstalk".[93] Hoult's performance was poorly received by film critics Mary Pols, Justin Chang and Richard Roeper; Pols was critical of his "disconcerting" imitation of Hugh Grant and the other two dismissed him and his character as "bland" and "boring", respectively.[94][95][96]

Hoult then appeared in Jake Paltrow's science-fiction film Young Ones (2014). Set in a dystopian future where water is scarce, the film had Hoult play Flem Lever, a young man who is trying to claim the land owned by the film's central character Ernest Holm.[97] Hoult thought the role was unlike any of his previous work and said his character's questionable choices throughout the film intrigued him. Hoult read novels written by S. E. Hinton to prepare for the role. The film was shot in a deserted location in South Africa; Hoult said filming in the hot weather conditions was difficult but the "beautiful" scenery helped to tell the story better.[98] He said it also made him more conscious of environmental concerns.[99] The film premiered at the 2014 Sundance Film Festival and was met with mixed responses.[98][100] Commentators highlighted the film's standout scenery but were critical of its plot.[97] Keith Uhlich of The A.V. Club said Hoult was a poor fit for the story's "stoically retrograde machismo".[101]

Hoult reprised his role as Beast in Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past, his other release of 2014. Hoult said playing the character was a freeing experience for him and that it was "fun to suddenly be able to break loose ... when you're wearing the makeup ... you can perform big ... you get to have two very different techniques, performances." He also said the lengthy make-up procedure could last up to three and a half hours.[102] X-Men: Days of Future Past earned more than $747 million worldwide, making it the highest-grossing film in the series and in Hoult's career at that time.[103]

In 2015, Hoult had three other releases—the feature film adaptation of Gillian Flynn's mystery novel Dark Places; Owen Harris' dark comedy Kill Your Friends, based on the 2008 novel of the same name; and Equals, a dystopian, science-fiction romantic drama directed by Drake Doremus—all of which were critical failures and rank among the lowest-grossing films of his career.[104][105] Response to Hoult's performance in Equals was relatively better;[106][107] Peter Travers called him and his co-star Kristen Stewart "quietly devastating", and Katie Walsh, writing for Los Angeles Times, said the duo were "finely matched both in their androgynous beauty and in their performances of a repressed humanity".[108][109] Despite doubts about his contract with the franchise, Hoult returned for the 2016 film X-Men: Apocalypse. Upon release, the film became the third-ranked X-Men film in terms of worldwide box office collections, earning about $540 million.[110] It was also a top-grossing production outside the United States.[111]

2017–2019: Biographical and independent films

[edit]

The action film Collide, in which Hoult starred as a drug dealer, was released in the United States in February 2017 to a poor response from audiences and critics.[112][113] The film garnered negative reviews; its dismal box office performance was attributed to poor marketing and multiple delays caused by the 2015 chapter 11 bankruptcy of its production company Relativity Media.[114] Forbes' Scott Mendelson analysed the film's failure and said Hoult did not necessarily have enough "star power" to draw audiences.[115] He highlighted the misogyny and sense of entitlement in the entertainment industry, writing that director Eran Creevy and Hoult would get better offers despite the failure of films like Collide, as opposed to the women and other minority groups, who are either ignored or stereotyped.[115] Responses to Hoult's next film, the romance drama Newness, were more enthusiastic.[116] The production had its world premiere at the 2017 Sundance Film Festival; it stars Hoult as one half of a Los Angeles-based couple who meet through online dating and begin an open relationship.[117] Drake Doremus, the film's director, said Hoult's role was unlike his previous work; "a very complex and emotionally mature performance that we haven't seen yet".[118]

Hoult starred in a series of biographical and historical films in 2017; he said he preferred playing characters that might help him improve as an actor and that the "actors I look up to started doing their best work in their early 30s and I'll be hitting that age ... I'm just trying to learn".[119] He portrayed American author J. D. Salinger in Danny Strong's Rebel in the Rye, which chronicles Salinger's life from his youth to the World War II era and the years preceding the publication of his debut novel, The Catcher in the Rye.[120] Hoult auditioned for the role because he was intrigued by the film's script and Salinger's enigmatic personality; "I didn't know he fought in the second world war and landed on D-Day: ... had intermittent PTSD or that he became interested in Vedanta philosophy and meditated and did yoga."[119] To prepare for the role, Hoult read The Catcher in the Rye and biographies about Salinger. Hoult said the biggest challenge was to get a real understanding of Salinger's character; "everyone has an idea of [Salinger] in their mind ... you're creating a character that people have very strong feelings about. You can't prove to be right or wrong through impressions."[121] Rebel in the Rye opened to a poor response from film critics.[122] Carson Lund of Slant was largely unimpressed by Hoult's "feeble" performance and his inability to "reinvest the character with the complexities lost in the story's programmatic telling".[123] RogerEbert.com's Matt Fagerholm wrote that although Hoult was capable of illuminating the insecurities and fixations of his character, he is never "quite believable as Salinger". Fagerholm ascribed the failure to the script, which left the character's key motivations "frustratingly muddled".[124]

Hoult at the 2019 Montclair Film Festival

Hoult co-starred in The Current War, a dramatisation of the feud between electrical pioneers Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse. Hoult was cast in the role of Nikola Tesla, for which he grew a moustache and attended science lessons about electromagnetism and dynamos.[119][125] He lost weight for his role by following a strict diet.[126] Response to The Current War was mixed; David Ehrlich of IndieWire described Hoult's performance as a tribute to David Bowie, who had previously played Tesla in The Prestige (2006).[127] In a departure from biographical dramas, Hoult then starred as an American soldier in Sand Castle, a production he described as a very different war film "in terms of the pacing and the emotion ... very under the surface, that futility-of-war idea".[126] He recalled the filming experience in the Jordanian military bases practising clearing procedures: "we put on these masks, get given these guns, are put inside this pitch-black house ... try and hunt down these bad guys hiding inside. You're in all the gear ... the adrenaline starts pumping."[126] Released on Netflix in 2017, the film garnered mixed reviews.[128]

In The Favourite (2018), a critically acclaimed period drama about Anne, Queen of Great Britain, Hoult played the supporting role of Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Earl Mortimer.[129] He next voiced Fiver in the animated television miniseries adaptation of Richard Adams' 1972 novel Watership Down.[130][131] In 2019, Hoult portrayed author J. R. R. Tolkien in the biopic Tolkien.[132] He next reprised his role as Hank McCoy in the X-Men film Dark Phoenix.[133] Both Tolkien and Dark Phoenix were poorly received.[134][135]

[edit]

The following year, Hoult began starring as Peter III of Russia in the Hulu comedy-drama series The Great.[136] The series and his performance received critical acclaim.[137] He was nominated for two Golden Globe Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.[138][139] In 2021, Hoult appeared in a villainous role in the thriller Those Who Wish Me Dead.[140] Hoult starred in the black comedy film The Menu, alongside Ralph Fiennes and Anya Taylor-Joy, in 2022. It received positive reviews.[141] Hoult next played the titular role in the comedy-horror film Renfield.[142] In June 2023, he was invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in the actors branch.[143]

In 2024, Hoult voiced Jon Arbuckle in the animated film The Garfield Movie.[144] That same year, he also starred in the crime thriller The Order (2024), directed by Justin Kurzel, and the courtroom drama Juror #2 (2024), directed by Clint Eastwood.[145][146] Hoult also starred as Thomas Hutter in Nosferatu, written and directed by Robert Eggers.[147]

Hoult appeared as Lex Luthor in Superman (2025) from director James Gunn.[148] The CEO of LuthorCorp and the arch-nemesis of Superman, who hates Superman for having the power to do everything but not aligning with Luthor's own beliefs.[149] Hoult described Luthor as obsessive, determined, and relentless, and wanted the character to feel like a credible threat to Superman.[150] Gunn took inspiration for the character from Brian Azzarello's limited comic book series Lex Luthor: Man of Steel (2005) as well as Jerry Siegel's "reckless scientific genius" version of Luthor in comic books from the 1950s and 1960s.[151][152]

Hoult will star in How to Rob a Bank directed by filmmaker David Leitch, with a script by Mark Bianculli, which tells the story of a bank robbery for Amazon MGM Studios. It is set for release September 4, 2026.[153]

Philanthropy

[edit]

He encouraged customers to buy the festive collection and support the charitable cause, which he thought would bring a "real change to children's lives".[168] He also donated a pair of shoes, which was auctioned by Small Steps Project, an organisation that helps homeless and malnourished children.[169] Hoult was inducted into the NSPCC Hall of Fame in 2010 for his contributions to the campaign against child cruelty.[170]

Hoult in 2019

Hoult visited Nairobi, Kenya, as a part of a Christian Aid project aimed at providing clean water and sanitation. During his stay he met local people and helped clean the locality. He said of his experience; "I met great people making the best of the situation ... it is heart-breaking in many ways to see the living conditions".[171] Hoult also participated in the Rickshaw Run in January 2017, in which participants drove an auto rickshaw (also called a tuk tuk) for 3,000 kilometres (1,900 mi) across India to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust and World Wide Fund for Nature.[172][173] He has also been associated with Jeans for Refugees, a project and fundraising initiative intended to help refugees around the world.[174] He donated a signed pair of jeans to the organisation; profits from the campaign were donated to the refugee support agency International Rescue Committee.[175]

On August 1, 2020, he participated in the Outreach Project campaign alongside Charlize Theron, where the film Mad Max: Fury Road was screened at a drive-in theater in Los Angeles to raise funds.[176] In 2021, for Save the Children UK, he took part in Misan Harriman's campaign to raise awareness about the urgent changes children want to see in the world: "Ban plastic. Reduce pollution."[177]In June 2022, he participated in Biotherm's #BeAWaterLover campaign to raise awareness about ocean preservation and to announce the brand's commitment to becoming Ocean Positive by 2030.[178] In both 2022 and 2023, he championed Armani's Acqua for Life campaign.[179]

In 2025, Hoult was named a Save the Children Ambassador. [180] As part of his new role, he visited an after-school workshop in London, where he spoke with children about topics related to his role as Lex Luthor in the Superman film and promoted values such as compassion and responsibility. As an ambassador, Hoult supports the organization’s initiatives focused on education, health, and child welfare at a global level.[180]
