Nicholas Hoult reveals ‘worryingly’ dangerous hobby that leaves film bosses terrified for the Superman star’s safety

BBG News

Nicholas Hoult has disclosed that he indulges in a potentially hazardous pastime, racing Ferraris, and frequently needs to allay the concerns of movie executives.

In a recent interview, the 35-year-old British actor, known for portraying Lex Luthor in the latest Superman film, shared his chilling passion for high speeds.

In conversation with The Daily Mirror, the man with two children shared that he had once driven as fast as 170 miles per hour, specifically on the Circuit of the Americas track located in Texas.

I didn’t want to look down because there could be important details missed. The speedy straight-line journey isn’t the concerning part. It’s the turns where issues tend to arise – that’s when accidents might happen.

Nicholas frequently posts about his passion for racing on Instagram, accompanied by photos of him standing next to a variety of high-end Ferrari cars.

In an enthusiastic outpouring, he declared: “Ever since I was young, I had a deep affection for racing. I used to watch Formula One with my father, and now, it’s a joy to pass on this passion to my son. I never imagined I would have the opportunity to race myself, but today, that dream has become a reality.

Nicholas is married to the beautiful model Bryana Holly, who is 31 years old. As a very private pair, they have a six-year-old son named Joaquin, and they welcomed another child into their family in 2022.

Previously, he verified that they had gotten married, following rumors which arose when he started addressing her as his “spouse”.

The pair, seldom spotted together in public, started openly dating back in 2016 following their initial encounter in Los Angeles.

Earlier this month, Warner Bros. unveiled the latest teaser for Superman. Fans eagerly snapped up tickets once they became available, suggesting a rapid and unprecedented demand.

Amazon has unveiled an exclusive deal for Prime members to catch a sneak peek of Superman a few days prior to its official release on July 11, with special advance showings scheduled for July 8.

On its unveiling on Wednesday, Fandango revealed that their ticket sales for the film’s early Prime screenings had set a record as the highest single-day ticket presales of 2025, marking a significant milestone for them.

Enthusiasts are eagerly grabbing their tickets for the July 11 launch without a second thought, and numerous ones have flaunted their purchase on social media.

As a die-hard fan, I’m absolutely thrilled to share that initial box office predictions are off the charts! It looks like we’re in for an opening weekend of anywhere from $154 million to an astounding $175 million! This movie is going to be massive!

Should this swift progression persist, it might escalate further, given the unabated enthusiasm expressed by fans across various social media platforms since they previewed the fresh trailer on Wednesday.

In my perspective as a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: The cinematic journey unfolds with an impressive skyscraper collapsing, and lo and behold, none other than Superman (David Corenswet) gracefully dives to prevent its devastating impact on the earth below. Simultaneously, we catch whispers of Lex Luthor’s (Nicholas) malicious intentions to bring down the Man of Steel.

In a different scene, Luthor and his associates are depicted wreaking havoc at Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. Simultaneously, images show Clark Kent (Superman) passionately embracing Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), while there are also glimpses of his parents, portrayed by Pruitt Taylor Vince and Neva Howell.

As a devoted follower, I find myself recounting an intriguing scene where these mechanical marvels, or droids, are tasked with carrying a weary Superman, who appears to have suffered some damage. They escort him towards the Fortress of Solitude, while intermittent shots reveal the Man of Steel locking horns with Lex Luthor’s minions in fierce combat.

One notable scene that’s had spectators enthusiastically applauding portrays Superman and his trusted canine companion, Krypto the Superdog, engaging in combat against an adversary. In this thrilling encounter, they deliver powerful blows to the enemy, causing his teeth to fly out and even striking the camera lens, symbolically shattering the ‘fourth wall’ boundary between them and the audience.

In another scenario, Superman finds himself butting heads with the gruff Green Lantern character, Guy Gardner (portrayed by Nathan Fillion). This time, he’s provoked to say, “Come on, big blue, show us what you’ve got.

A higher number of images depict folks worldwide cheering for Superman, an act that enrages Luthor, leading him to declare, “If they prefer him, let them perish.

During a fierce fight, a weary Superman can be spotted lying on the ground. At this moment, Mr. Terrific (Edi Gathegi) urges him, “Come on, stop fooling around!

Superman replies jokingly yet wearily, “I’m not kidding, I have crucial matters to attend to,” a line that has undoubtedly struck a chord with fans on social media.

In the concluding scene, Superman utilizes his powerful eye beams to eliminate several adversaries, a move that has been highly appreciated by fans. For instance, @UpToTASK commented, “Wow, this is incredibly challenging! #Superman.

A different supporter, identified as @DCUSuperboy, exclaimed enthusiastically in capital letters, ‘I TRULY CAN’T UNDERSTAND HOW ONE COULD LOOK AT THIS AND NOT FEEL EXCITED FOR #SUPERMAN.’

Indeed, it’s worth noting that not everyone shared the same level of enthusiasm, with some, such as @agamelift, continuing to admire director Zack Snyder for his past DC Extended Universe productions.

According to this individual, the blueprint for the Superman film is Zack Snyder’s. He finds the movie looks terrible, combining elements of Guardians of the Galaxy with Superman, while also mirroring key aspects from Man of Steel but doing them poorly. He believes the plot leak several months ago was accurate.

As a devoted admirer, I’ve found myself utterly disappointed in the latest movie, just like Aaron Fischer. To put it mildly, I feel that the comedic aspects have left me despaired, with no hope remaining for this film. I fear it will be nothing but a foolish and ridiculous production.

Even so, numerous individuals couldn’t contain their enthusiasm and snapped up tickets straightaway, similar to @SupermanOnFilm, who exclaimed, “I’ve already secured 8 tickets for the opening weekend #Superman.
