Hello, I'm Nicholas Hoult.

This is Lily Collins.

And we're doing a Wired Autocomplete Interview.

[upbeat rock music]

I'm getting sweaty palms.

Woo you should.

No.

What does Lily Collins' tattoo say?

Which one?

I'll go with one of them.

The nature of this flower is to bloom.

Ooh.

And that's on my foot.

Very good.

Seeing as I'm a lily. Very good.

I didn't know that.

A flower, it's like blooming.

Yeah, I like that.

What was Lily Collins' first movie?

[laughing] I thought you were trying

to answer it.

Because the other day you were saying

it was the Voice, right.

No, technically the first film is

The Blind Side, but I did clapping and

singing in Tarzan.

That's it, Tarzan.

I don't know if that really counts.

I think it counts.

As part of a children's choir.

Clapping, singing, Tarzan, you're in it.

How old is Lily Collins right now?

Dirty thirty!

Get it.

How to get Lily Collins eyebrows naturally?

[laughs]

Hmm.

Just...don't pluck away.

That wouldn't work for me.

You've got great eyebrows.

If I let them grow any wilder,

then I wouldn't... [sighs]

[laughs]

Is Lily Collins vegetarian?

No, I eat fish and occasionally chicken,

so, no, I'm not a vegetarian.

Who is Lily Collins related to?

Ooh, the Collins clan, the Tavelman

clan, I mean, my mom, my dad, my sisters,

my brothers, [laughs] just family.

Like most people.

Most people. [laughs]

Related to family. Very good. [laughs]

Is Nicholas Hoult

in Game of Thrones?

Yes. I am. I'm very good in it.

Great acting. Some of my best work.

Is Nicholas Hoult in Deadpool?

Yes. [laughs]

[laughs]

Of course I was in Deadpool.

No, I'm not actually in Deadpool

but I do get to do a cameo in Deadpool 2

which I was very happy about, because

I was a fan of the first one.

Are you in Game of Thrones?

No. [laughs]

Oh, I was like you said yes,

and I thought, oh. I bought it.

No, I'm not in Game of Thrones.

Auditioned, didn't get it.

Been there, done that, yeah.

Oh, well.

Oh, well.

Is Nicholas Hoult related to Tom Cruise?

Yes. [laughs]

Again, brothers.

Another mother and father. [laughs]

Not related to Tom Cruise. Did get to meet him

once, though. Which was a lot of fun.

Was Nicholas Hoult in

Harry Potter?

Yes. I was in Harry Potter,

again, another brilliant performance.

You probably don't recognize me,

but I was very good in it.

He was the invisibility cloak.

Exactly.

Well, lots of no's on that one.

I'm in lots of things. Career's going great.

Is Lily Collins British

or American?

I'm both. I was born in England,

but live in Los Angeles, so technically,

I'm a dual citizen, although I do

consider myself more British than American.

Best of both.

Is Lily Collins

perfect?

[laughs]

I thought there was gonna be more to that.

Perfect.

Hmm, no.

Who's searching that?

No, definitely not perfect.

I wrote a book a couple years ago called Unfiltered

which chapters exactly why I'm not perfect

and why nobody is perfect. Sorry.

Is Lily Collins related to Audrey Hepburn?

Ah, I'd like to be, but I'm not.

She's one of my idols and muses,

but no, we are not related.

Do you want to play her at some point?

I would be honored to play

Audrey Hepburn at some point.

Good.

These are funny.

I'm trying to read upside down a little bit.

So it's tricky.

Is Lily Collins hair naturally curly?

Why, yes!

That was one of my searches.

No, it's not naturally curly.

I would say maybe more on, like, the

wavy side? When left to dry naturally.

Okay.

However, when blow dried, it's straight.

So these are fake curls?

These are real curls

I just I didn't wake up like this. [laughs]

Manufactured.

Okay. Is Lily Collins Phil Collins daughter?

Now, that one is true.

True?

That is fact. Don't know about

playing him in a movie.

Is Lily Collins in a relationship?

Scandalous.

Scandalous. I'm in a relationship with myself.

No, I'm having fun. I'm thirty now.

I'm living my life.

Okay.

Sorry, I didn't wanna go all personal,

it was the board.

[laughs]

How dare you.

Thank you for answering.

Where is

Nicholas Hoult from?

I'm from Wokingham in Berkshire. England.

Where does...

I'm hoping to be mayor of there, someday soon.

Oh, that's right.

I've got some big plans. You have some ideas

We're gonna have a big roller disco

if I do, so. Vote for me.

You're gonna go around waking people up, right?

With a big bell.

That's what I thought mayors did.

Where does Nicholas Hoult live?

I kind of split time between LA and London.

And wherever I'm filming. So, all over the place.

Who does Nicholas Hoult play in the Xmen?

A movie that you are indeed in.

I am, actually in the Xmen. I play

Hank McCoy, also known as the Beast.

What school did Nicholas Hoult go to?

I went to the Coombs Infant School,

then Arborfield Junior School, then

Sylvia Young Theatre School for a little bit,

and then Ranelagh Secondary School. That's

all of the schools.

That's a lot of schools.

Because, it wasn't specific.

Nicholas Hoult knitting

Mad

Knitting Mad Max?

Knitting Mad Max.

That was a hobby I had on the set

of Mad Max [laughs]

I'm like, is he knitting Mad Max?

I didn't knit Mad Max.

That's what I thought, that's incredible.

If you watched the movie and you realized

it was just all something that I knitted.

That would be fantastic.

That would be cool.

But no, I knitted on the set of the film

to pass time.

So you knitted during Mad Max.

You wrote poetry during the J.D. Salinger film.

Not poetry, just like, they were stories.

[laughs] Sorry.

And you painted during prep for Tolkien.

Uh huh.

Picked up some hobbies.

You got a lot of hobbies.

I knitted hats and scarves.

This.

This.

Hats and scarves.

I learned to make little baubles too.

Baubles? Bubbles?

That's cute.

I quit, though. I quit knitting 'cause

I got orders to make hats for people on set

and I had to make two in one day and

it took me ten hours straight to make them.

I've got to go to set, guys!

It was one of my days off,

I didn't open the curtains, I went

cold turkey after that 'cause it took the

joy out of knitting.

[laughs]

Lily Collins, where was Lily Collins raised?

Born in Gilford, in West Sussex, in England,

and then moved to Los Angeles when I was six.

So, most of my time was in LA, but then

I would go back and forth to England.

Did you have a British accent at six?

I did, I had a very, very strong British

accent, but everyone made fun of me,

and at that age, you just wanted to fit in

so I used to watch Peter Pan over and over again

Really?

and just say, Peter Pan, Peter Pan, Peter Pan.

Animated Peter Pan?

Yeah.

Huh. Didn't know. Good fact.

Does Lily Collins sing?

I like to. I used to do musical theater,

and I have sang in two movies,

Mirror Mirror, and Rules Don't Apply.

I'd love to do something where I get to sing more.

We'll make that happen.

Does Lily Collins have siblings?

I do, I have four half siblings.

Nicholas and Matthew are my younger,

Julie and Simon are my older.

Did Lily Collins go to college?

Yes.

I did.

I went to USC.

You don't sound too sure of that.

Did Lily Collins graduate?

Oh.

Not yet.

I did, like, a six month gap year.

I was already working for Nickelodeon at the time,

and it was during Obama's campaigning inauguration,

so I was reporting for him out in the field

for Nickelodeon, and doing important stuff.

You were reporting for Obama for Nickelodeon?

I was reporting for Nickelodeon about

Obama's inauguration and all that kind of stuff.

But apparently I'm still registered,

they just took me off the immediate registry.

They're calling your name in roll call

at the beginning of every day. Still not here.

Does Lily Collins have a child?

[laughs] No.

Not that you know of.

Not that I know of.

I do not have a child. That was a Instagram picture

I did for April Fools from Love, Rosie.

But, my little brother called me the day

I posted it and freaked out and just said,

are you pregnant?

And I said, you think I wouldn't tell you

in person? And he goes, oh god, that sucks,

you're so annoying, I hate you!

And then he hung up.

Good April Fools.

Little brothers, huh?

Is this the last Nicky one?

[laughs] You're like, is this it?

Are Ed Skrein and Nicholas Hoult related?

We're not related, no, but I can see

why people make that mistake, we look kind of similar.

Ed is like a more masculine, better looking

version of me.

We have done a movie together, though.

A movie called Kill Your Friends.

Oh. Happy one. Happy times.

Happy one.

Does Nicholas Hoult have a brother?

Yes. I have an older brother called James,

who's twelve years older than me.

Does Nicholas Hoult sing?

Yes, very well.

[laughs]

No, I can't sing.

I kind of beg to differ, there's some

times when we've got some Beyonce going on,

and you pitch in there.

Pitch in, but not always with the right pitch.

Right. You also do a very good lip sync, so.

I do.

That's the point.

Lip sync is more my specialty.

Yeah, yeah.

What does Nicholas Hoult look like?

Oh, now.

He's right here, ladies. And gentleman.

This is it.

He woke up like this.

All right, last one.

Nicholas Hoult zodiac sign?

Oh, what is Nicholas Hoult's zodiac sign?

I'm a Sagittarius.

What does that mean?

I'm not really sure, but no one

reacts badly to it when I say Sagittarius.

Ooh.

Most of the time, people go, oh, that's good.

[laughs]

As opposed to, oh, I'm so sorry.

Yeah, like, I feel like some star signs

people react negatively to.

Mm hmm.

But not Sagittarius.

As far as I know.

That's a good thing.

Conclusion.

Thank you so much for learning some

more facts about us, and rediscovering

ones you already knew.

This has been fun.

[laughs] Thank you.
