'13
Yesterday was dominated stupidly by Lindsay Lohan’s crack shenanigans, so I didn’t get a chance to cover these photos. I was staring at them for most of the day because the photo sets were close to each other on WENN. Nicholas Hoult was at the LA premiere of Warm Bodies on Tuesday night, and then Eddie Redmayne was at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on the same night. So here’s a little “Who would rather?” game and I seriously can’t decide.
First of all, I’ve really come around on Eddie. Last year I saw his creepy performance in Glorious 39, and it warped my vision of him. But he turned it around over the past few months because A) he’s super-stylish and perhaps the best-dressed person of the awards season and B) he actually seems like a really lovely, sweet, amazing, professional young man and C) POCKET SQUARES! It’s also notable that he’s 31 years old and everyone thinks he’s like 22. So, it feels like you’re lusting after almost-jailbait, but he’s a full-fledged MAN. Which is nice, I guess? Also: cheekbones to die for!
As for Nicholas… I’ve been into him for years now, since A Single Man, really. The boy from About a Boy grew up to be a lanky, enchanting hottie with gorgeous eyes and a flirtatious manner. He also has great taste in ladies – he dated Jennifer Lawrence for more than two years, and although they broke up recently, he’s enough of a gentleman to praise her and talk about how “proud” he is that she’s a big Oscar contender this year. Oh, and Hoult is 23 years old!
So, who would I rather? I can’t even decide? I’m angling more towards Nicholas because he’s more type, but Eddie has really been blowing me away lately with his sweetness, humor and style. Can I have them both? Please?

Nicholas Hoult has finally grown up and baby is bringing the hotness. Those eyes, that face! That sexy lankiness.
Redmayne’s not my taste. What’s up with combing his hair forward like an old man living in the 1800′s? I don’t like men who spend more time than me styling their clothes and hair like they are a ken doll.

Nic. He’s taller.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
Imdb lists Eddie’s height as 6″2 and Nic as 6″2 1/2, so they are both pretty tall.
Report this comment as spam or abuse
I doubt Eddie is that tall. And I would have thought Mic is taller than that. Imdb is not a reliable source ,neither is any otherinternet source. I guess you can only rely on what they say themselves, but then they’re actors and prone to lie

Agree, height is often exaggerated in ImdB, but I don’t think Eddie is a Tom Cruise or Jeremy Renner lift wearer either.

I think there are much better looking British out there but I think Nicholas Hoult is finally breaking out in hotness. Maybe it’s the new hair cut. Makes him look more mature and manly.

Well I’m biased cos I thought he was hotty right off the bat in season 1 of Skins but the haircut has made him look even better,it brings out his eyes. We are churning out a lot of hot guys lately, I hope you guys really appreciate how generous we’re being.

I am weak for Brits. Among these two, I definitely choose Eddie. He looks like he could deliver intelligent conversation as well as the experience of 31 years. BTW, who has he been linked with in the past?- don’t recall every hearing about a girlfriend? Maybe he’s private.

Im pretty sure he dated Carrey Mulligan in early 2011. They were photographed walking around with his arm around her.
He is currently dating a girl named Hannah Bagshaw who apparently works at a pr firm in London.

YES! Eddie is SUPER smart. He went to Eton and was classmates with Prince William! And he graduated from Cambridge (I think he met Hiddles there).
Bein smart is a plus. Besides, he is adorable and can sing although he cannot dance to save his life.
And, sadly, he has a girlfriend like it was said before.

“although he cannot dance to save his life.”
I know! Did you see that weird thing video on the Vanity Fair website with the dancing bear? Eddie has no moves. lol.
But he is educated and cultivated. That is rare in hWood.

He was also in Pop (Eton’s senior prefects) with William. I’d have thought they were really, really close, but Eddie didn’t seem to be invited to the wedding.

I agree. I choose him too, mainly bc of the maturity and experiences that come with being 31 vs. early twenties..now ask me again in 5-7 years about Nic and I might reverse my opinion

Have you read the book? I’ve tried reading it after I watched the series but Follett is mind-numbingly verbose that I had to drop it. Jack getting from Point A to Point B took about 10 pages of description!

Yeah, I did read the books. I loved the miniseries a lot more though. I read pretty much anything in the historical fiction genre. Pillars is great, but I have to say this is one case where I prefer the movie. I really really loved it. Eddie was great, Sam Claflin (Finnick), Matthew McFayden, everyone. A+

Eddie Redmayne is supposed to be ugly-hot, right? I do not get his appeal at all. If he didn’t tan and stay perfectly coiffed, he’d just be a creepy dude on the street. Actually, he kind of looks like he’s been in a fire, with reconstructed skin and lips.

But EDDIE WINS!!! He IS the best dressed PERSON of this awards season hands down. I am so amazed how a guy’s style has impressed so many people (eat your heart out Justin Timberlake). And he’s 31!!! I thought he was much younger. And he looks less weird when he smiles. Adorable actually.
Sigh. Eddie is my new crush. Can’t wait to see what he’ll wear next.

It was at the opening of the Harry Potter Studio Tour last year. My dad worked on one of the films. Eddie was there for some reason, maybe he’s a HP fan, who knows? Anyway, it’s not that he is ugly, he is just.. very average. I’d always though that he was strangely good-looking in movies but IRL he was just strange-looking in my opinion. And he looked a bit too orangey for my taste, but maybe that was just because he was wearing makeup. Most men wear makeup on the red carpet which you can’t really see in photos but IRL it looks awful!

Nick Hoult. But I almost feel guilty for being so conventional.
I can’t with Redmayne. I’ve seen him in an interview, and he comes off like your typical Eton-trained cosmopolitan sophisticate a la Hiddleston. It compensates a bit, but not enough.

Eddie is a pass- he’s developed this sort of “misty/teary eyed stare to the middle distance” that is pulled out over and over again- did it in Marilyn, the miniseries Birdsong and again in Les Miz- drives me crazy.
Nic was so cute in “A Single Man”- but Warm Bodies looks not so good.
On another note- read where Tom Hardy will be playing Leo in Child 44- so excited to see that being brought to the screen. It’s an amazing book

Nicholas Hoult. Something about his face radiates warmth and down-to-earth. He’s got beautiful eyes and an approachable demeanor. It doesn’t hurt that when he looks at a girl it reminds me of the look this guy from my past used to give me (the one that got away ooh laa…)
Redmayne has a nice smile but I’m a little freaked out by his lips (super pale and pillowy and wide).
