Nicholas Hoult Says 'Kill Your Friends' Role Was Out of His Comfort Zone

Nicholas Hoult steps out of the Bowery Hotel on Thursday (March 31) in New York City.

The 26-year-old actor recently spoke to Entertainment Weekly about his role as a power hungry ’90s businessmen in the new movie Kill Your Friends.

“I’m not someone who’s trying to form a career on people thinking, ‘Oh, he always plays the nice guy’ or that sort of thing,” Nicholas said.

He added, “There’s certainly roles that you look at, and you think, I’ve got an idea of how to do that, and that’s within my comfort zone, and I think this role was not in my comfort zone of what I’ve been doing and what’s more natural for me to do perhaps. So it was a good challenge.”
