If budding British star Nicholas Hoult looks familiar, it's probably because you recognize him from About a Boy. But now, he's all grown up and getting tons of attention for his role in fashion guru Tom Ford's directorial debut, A Single Man. The film boasts big names like Colin Firth, Julianne Moore, and Ginnifer Goodwin, and Nicholas rises to the occasion as a young college student in LA, who lives in the present and acts on impulse. We chatted with Nicholas about skinny-dipping on set and what it was like to have a spray tan for the flick!

When we go to premieres or for press, he's hooked me up with a couple of suits, which is very cool. I feel very sharp.
