Actor Nicholas Hoult, famous for his role as Superman, recently amused fans by recounting an embarrassingly awkward encounter he had with Brad Pitt. With excitement mounting over Hoult’s upcoming portrayal of Lex Luthor in the next Superman movie, the actor has candidly shared his starstruck experience with Pitt, making it surprisingly relatable for many.
Here’s what Nicholas Hoult said about his meeting with Brad Pitt.
Nicholas Hoult talks about meeting Brad Pitt
In a recent podcast chat, Nicholas Hoult, famous for his roles in X-Men, The Great, and soon as Lex Luthor in Superman (2025), shared an interesting tidbit: he was left utterly tongue-tied when he met Brad Pitt. Despite typically maintaining composure around stars, Hoult confessed that during this particular encounter, his mind just seemed to go blank.
On Dax Shepard’s Armchair Expert podcast, Hoult playfully said he was as speechless as a lemon upon encountering Pitt at the Venice Film Festival. Despite their brief interaction, this chance encounter made a significant impact on Hoult.
Brad Pitt, renowned for his relaxed charisma, added an extra touch of memorability by praising Hoult’s performance on the popular series The Great. Pitt said to him, “Hey, the show’s quite amusing. You’re quite amusing.” Hoult was touched but too bewildered to respond immediately.
As Hoult prepares for his villainous role in Superman, scheduled to release on July 11, Pitt has recently celebrated the success of his Formula One movie that premiered on June 27. The racing film has already garnered impressive reviews, with a 97% audience rating and an 83% critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
It’s worth noting that Pitt too has shared his feelings of starstruckness not long ago, confessing to feeling the same way when he met Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, his co-stars in Thelma & Louise. Just like Hoult, even esteemed stars of Hollywood experience their own awkward fan encounters.
As an enthusiastic fan, I’m thrilled about James Gunn’s upcoming Superman movie! Not only does it boast a stellar ensemble, but it also includes Nicholas Hoult. David Corenswet takes on the role of Clark Kent, while Rachel Brosnahan breathes life into Lois Lane. Edi Gathegi portrays Michael Holt, and Anthony Carrigan brings Rex Mason to the big screen. The rest of the talented cast promises an unforgettable experience!
