Nicholas Hoult and Hugh Grant reunite, 22 years after For a Boy

The actor of Juror n°2 crossed paths with that of Heretic at the Governors Awards. The opportunity to take a little collector's photo!

By hiring Nicholas Hoult And Tony Collette For Juror #2Clint Eastwood brought together two actors who have known each other for a long time, since they played two key characters in For a boyin 2002. A delightful romantic drama by Chris and Paul Weitz, based on a novel by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity) and also carried by Hugh Grant And Rachel Weisz.

Hugh plays a cynical eternal bachelor, who relishes his solitude, has no need to work, divides his time into leisure units and refuses to commit. When Marcus (Hoult), 12 years old, becomes attached to him, he tries to dodge him as he should, before telling himself that the little boy could be useful to him… to conquer women who have a child. He will then suggest that he pretend to be his son.

The real Hugh Grant: “I'm not a gentleman, I'm a creep”

When this trial film – and potentially final Easwtood film – is released – the star of Love at first sight in Notting Hill is currently in full promotion of Heretica horror thriller. Fans of the two actors can therefore see them side by side on the posters of their respective films, in the metro, for example: “This kind of sequence of For a boy looks a little dark”laughs an English Internet user here.

This coincidence in release planning did not escape the actors in question. This weekend, Hugh Grant was invited to the Governors Awards to present an award to Richard Curtis, the screenwriter of Four weddings one funeral, Notting Hill And Love Actuallyand Nicholas Hoult was there too. The two actors were able to meet backstage, visibly delighted to see each other!

22 years later, Hoult wrote on his Instagram account: “Scroll through the photos to see a horrible meeting I was in at the Governors Awards. He's very funny.” After a first shot of himself posing seriously in front of a giant Oscar, Nicholas appears hilarious alongside Hugh Grant, then he posts an image ofAbout a Boyunfortunately of poor quality.

Grant also took these last two photos for his own X account, to which Hoult also reacted. “We’re cute!”he comments.
