The Crush: Nicholas Hoult

There’s something About A Boy with icy blue eyes that makes Crush melt and Nicholas Hoult has now officially snatched the prize for the world’s dreamiest peepers from Cillian Murphy. Sticking with Nick’s upper-face area, let’s just take a moment to talk about that eyebrow: ‘It adds something to me,’ Nick has said of his Vulcan brow. Babe, we think the word you’re looking for is ‘phwoar’. Crush has followed that quirky face fur ever since it upstaged Hugh Grant 12 years ago, via teen bad boy in Skins, to X-Men’s Beast.

Now Nick and his eyebrows are in our favourite role of all, that of Mr Jennifer Lawrence. Were J-Law not such a friend to women everywhere, we might be more bitter that she’s bagged our ideal guy, but we’re happy that they have such a ‘regular person’ relationship — hey, they even took a break like some of us normals do, without it being a massive drama. Now they’ve got it sorted: ‘When we’re busy, we agree to mutually ignore each other. Not completely, but neither of us gets mad when the other doesn’t text back or call.’ Happily for us, Nick is majorly busy — meaning we get to see him in nine new films between this year and next. Most exciting is that he’s the lead in Kill Your Friends, an adaptation of the John Niven novel about record-industry excess in the Britpop era. (Judging by the video of him drinking flaming Sambuca shots with James McAvoy, which has done the rounds online, he’s extremely well cast.)

Aside from being a really fun guy, we are even smitten by Nick’s endearingly uncool dress sense when his stylist — or Tom Ford — isn’t around. Any man who still looks handsome in scruffy skater shoes, baggy T-shirts and a backpack is the man for Crush.
