Nicholas Hoult On Looking "Inbred," Viral Interview
Since then, his career has flourished, with Nicholas also being known for his performance as Tony Stonem in the gritty British series Skins, as well as a whole bunch of popular movies like Warm Bodies and The Menu.
Nick has also joined some huge franchises, including Mad Max and X-Men. Most recently, he has garnered huge acclaim for his performance as villain Lex Luthor in the latest Superman movie.
And throughout his career, the star has been no stranger to fans thirsting over him — but a recently resurfaced 2023 interview suggests that he hasn't let this attention go to his head... In fact, Nick had a straight-up bizarre response to a radio host asking him about his good looks, and how left-field his answer was has led to the actor going pretty viral on X.
In an interview with Hits radio, Nick was asked: 'How does it feel, in life, being such a beautiful person?'The star was clearly taken aback by this question and blushed as he laughed and thanked the interviewer for the compliment.
He then said: 'That's weird. I read something recently, I did a show called The Great, I play the emperor of Russia in that, and I saw a comment of someone on Twitter that said: 'He looks like just the right amount of inbred to be a royal.''
'And so I don't think I'm conventionally very handsome or anything,' Nick went on. 'I don't have the perks of being handsome because I look more inbred.'
Needless to say, people can't get enough of this response, with one X user sharing a video of the interview alongside the caption: 'this is how I take compliments btw.' The tweet has already been seen over a million times, and has racked up thousands of likes, replies, and retweets.One reply asked: 'Nicholas Hoult is one of my very few male celebrity crushes and he thinks he looks inbred?!''Wdym Nicholas Hoult doesn't think he is handsome????????' somebody else wrote.Another joked: 'I've been saying he's hot since he was in skins what more does he need.'While one more reasoned: 'He doesn't look inbred he's just English.'

Pokemon TCG Pocket pulls card art after apologizing for plagiarizing an illustration that an artist posted 4 years ago, leaving us with an unintentionally hilarious placeholder
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Update: Our resident Pokemon TCG Pocket experts have encountered the plagiarized, now-deleted Ho-Oh EX card art out in the wild, and the resulting placeholder card really is something to see, a barren artifact of a very rare and public screw-up for Pokemon art. Behold: Original story: We all make mistakes at work, but luckily, most of ours aren't as public as Pokemon TCG Pocket using fan art for Ho-Oh in the new expansion, Wisdom of the Sea and Sky, which seems to have affected two rare cards. Yesterday, an artist shared a tweet that showed the three-star rarity Ho-Oh EX card alongside their own artwork, a paid commission they'd posted to Twitter back in 2021. They simply captioned it with several question marks, and it has since garnered over 33.8 million views. Today, the official Pokemon TCG Pocket Twitter account released a statement: "It has come to our attention that there was a production issue regarding the illustration of Ho-Oh featured in the immersive card artwork for Ho-Oh EX (3-Star) and Lugia EX (3-Star)." It identifies the issue: "The card production team provided incorrect reference materials as official documents to the illustrator commissioned to create these cards." For now, both cards have been replaced with placeholder text that reads "New Art Coming Soon," and the statement affirms that new material will come "as soon as it's ready." While the statement doesn't directly mention the artist who alleges their work was used, it does offer apologies to "the talented illustrators who bring the Pokemon world to life" and reassures "we are also conducting a broader investigation to ensure no similar issues exist elsewhere in the game." The original artist shared a statement (with an English version they say they used "a translator" for) which reads: "I appreciate the prompt resolution and hope this matter rests here." Unfortunately, artwork that hasn't been licensed or commissioned ending up in games is nothing new. At least for Pokemon TCG Pocket, it's just two cards, but for the Marathon alpha, many designs were lifted from an indie artist without pay. While you're here, check out the best card games.

Donald Trump Praised Karoline Leavitt's Lips, Drawing Internet Ire
President Donald Trump is facing new criticism after an uncomfortable attempt at complimenting White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. 'She's become a star,' he told Newsmax on Friday. 'It's that face. It's that brain. It's those lips, the way they move. They move like she's a machine gun.' He also said: 'I don't think anybody has ever had a better press secretary than Karoline.' Leavitt, 27, made history earlier this year as the youngest White House press secretary. But in the months since, she has perhaps become better known for her wildly over-the-top praise of the president. She has at least twice, for example, demanded that Trump be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. But it's the very specific compliment about her lips that has Trump's critics cringing. They fired back on X, formerly Twitter: 'She's (Karoline Leavitt) become a star. It's that face. It's that brain. It's those lips. The way they move.' - Donald Trump ???????????????? — Spencer Hakimian (@SpencerHakimian) August 2, 2025 @SpencerHakimian/X/Newsmax / Via 'That face. Those lips, the way they move.'
