Nicholas Caradoc Hoult was born on 7 December 1989 in Wokingham, Berkshire. His Parents are Glenis, a piano teacher, and Roger Hoult, a commercial pilot.

Nicholas and his siblings spent the majority of their formative years living with the family at Sindlesham, an estate community in the Wokingham Borough.

He originally intended to pursue high-level certificates in English, Biology, and Psychology, but at the age of 12, he changed his mind and opted to enroll in Sylvia Young Theatre School’s acting program.

He left home at the age of 14 to enroll in the Ranelagh School, a secondary Church of England school in Bracknell, Berkshire.

Nicholas Hoult’s Siblings

He has three siblings: an elder brother who is a United States–based biology student; and two sisters, both of whom are actresses. James Hoult, Rosanna Hoult, and Clarsta Hoult are their names respectively.

Growing up, Nicholas’ older siblings were interested in acting and dancing from an early age, such that they took classes and attended auditions.

This had an impact on Nicholas and he began accompanying them till he developed his own interest in acting.

He discussed his childhood and his relationship with his siblings in a 2011 interview with The Guardian saying, “[we were] pretty outdoorsy normal kids running around in the garden and making tree houses … it was very normal”.
