Nicholas Hoult is reportedly on a short list for the James Bond role, and now he’s revealed his family are living back in the UK
Nicholas Hoult has moved his family back to the UK amid James Bond rumours.
The 36-year-old actor is reported to be among five stars who have screen-tested for the role of 007, and now he has revealed his family are based in London.
He told the Therapuss podcast: “We’re in London now. Since we moved to London, I’ve been doing 20,000 steps a day.”
Nicholas revealed that he gets most of his walking in by “just doing the school run and stuff”.
The Hollywood star grew up in Reading, but now he’s in the capital, he’s encouraging his sons to support a local team.
He added: “We’re living in North London. So now we’re back, and I’m like, my boys are like, what team should we support? I’m like, you guys can support Arsenal.”
London is around an hour’s drive from Pinewood Studios, the long-time home of the Bond film franchise.
Nicholas is yet to address the speculation following claims he is in the running to be Daniel Craig’s successor along with Robert Pattinson, Jack Lowden, Josh O’Connor and Callum Turner.
He didn’t reveal exactly when he and his family moved back to the UK, having split his time between there and the US for a long time.
Until now, Nicholas and his model wife Bryana Holly, 33, and their four children have been primarily in California.
Last week, Nicholas confirmed he and Bryana – who have largely kept their personal lives private – welcomed twins into the world in 2025.
During an interview with Pete Davidson promoting their movie How to Rob a Bank, the Saturday Night Live star told Entertainment Tonight: “Nicholas is a ‘great dad, father of four. Four under what, seven? Which is nuts.'”
Nicholas smiled and nodded as he said: “Yeah, yeah.”
Pete then referenced the Skins actor’s twins while discussing how his then-partner Elsie Hewitt was pregnant with their daughter Scottie, now 11 months, at the time Nicholas was flying home for weekends to spend time with his newborns.
Pete said: “Elsie was pregnant while we were filming and [Nicholas] just had his twins.
“He would fly back every weekend to go see his family, and that was very inspiring and awesome.”
