Nicholas Hoult Says X-MEN: APOCALYPSE "Goes Extreme" And Oscar Isaac Is A "Badass"
Hit the jump and check out the latest from Nicholas Hoult as the English actor talks more about returning as Hank McCoy aka Beast in X-Men: Apocalypse, the 1980s costumes, as well as Oscar Isaac's performance as En Sabah Nur for which he offers nothing but praise.
How often did Hoult's mutant come face-to-face with Issac's supervillain? “To be honest with you, the times we were acting in the same scene were often quite distant,” he admitted. “So I could sense the presence of him – and he’s certainly got a lot of presence, in life – he’s a really fun guy to be around. And that character’s a tricky one to play, you know, essentially a mutant from an era long ago, awoken in this modern day, very confused about what’s been going on around him and decides to do something about it. He certainly brings an intensity to it, in a great way.”
About wearing the 1980s costumes, Hoult admits to feeling a little silly. “80s gear? You know what I felt like a bit of a kid wearing my Dad’s suits and stuff, because it’s very baggy the 80s style,” he said. “Big pants and shoulder pads. I’d try them on in the costume fittings and I’d look ridiculous. I’d look like a three-year-old wearing my Dad’s clothes, but that’s what it was at the time.”
