Nicholas Hoult Seventeen Times

I hate that I'm forced to think about hateful bigot J.K. Rowling and her Harry Potter bullshit now when I post about my boy Nicholas Hoult, but he frustratingly brought it on himself (and me!) by briefly signing on to take a role in HBO's trans-genocide-funding adaptation before reading the room's quite reasonable disappointment in him and suddenly finding a "scheduling conflict." (His role was happily snatched up by Kit Harington, another disappointment, but I guess we'll cross that bridge the next time Kit drops a hot photoshoot.) Anyway I haven't seen Nicky further disavow the franchise or Rowling's obscene behavior so it's with that upfront caveat that I bring you this new photoshoot of him looking typically gorgeous for ICON America magazine. The magazine hasn't put the interview with him online yet, not that I can find -- there is no proper link and I had to source these pictures from several different Instagrams. But he looks good and we're hoping he's learned some lessons and listened to some folks. Hit the jump for all the photos...
