Nicholas Hoult was unrecognisable on Monday as he strolled through New York City on the Superman press tour.  

The British actor, 35, plays Lex Luthor in the new Superman movie and has been promoting the film over the last few days. 

But there was a striking difference to the Skins star’s appearance as he rocked a bleached blond hair do. 

Since his breakout E4 role 2007 Nicholas has sported dark, short hair – but the father-of-two has switched up his look for bleached locks. 

Nicholas was initially spotted strolling around Midtown, looking sharp in a brown tailored suit paired with a tan sweater underneath, before being seen leaving ABC Studios in a new outfit—a white vest and light brown short-sleeved shirt.

With his third wardrobe change of the day, Nicholas appeared in SoHo wearing an all-white outfit, flaunting his toned physique in a white vest complemented by a sweater casually draped over his shoulders.

In his third outfit change of the day, Nicholas was then seen in SoHo in an all-white ensemble, showing off his toned physique in a white vest with a sweater draped over his shoulders.

It comes just days after Nicholas revealed his ‘worryingly’ dangerous hobby of racing Ferraris and said he has to often reassure film bosses.

Nicholas explained just how terrifying his love of speed can be. 

The father-of-two told The Daily Mirror: ‘The fastest I drove was at the Circuit of the Americans in Texas, we hit about 170mph’. 

‘I was trying not to glance down because you might miss something. Going in a straight line fast isn’t the worrying bit. It’s going around the corners, that’s when things can go wrong’.

Nicholas often shares his love for racing to Instagram alongside snaps of himself posing alongside numerous Ferrari supercars.

In one gushing post he said: ‘Since I was a kid I loved racing, I grew up watching F1 with my dad and now I get to share the passion with my boy. Never thought I’d get the chance to drive myself, dream come true.’

Nicholas is wed to stunning model Bryana Holly, 31, and together the fiercely private couple share son Joaquin, six, and another child born in 2022.

Last year he confirmed the couple were married after sparking speculation when he referred to her as his ‘wife’.

The couple, who rarely make public appearances together, officially began dating in 2016 after meeting in Los Angeles. 

Warner Bros. released a new trailer for Superman earlier this month, as fans flocked to pick up their tickets just as they went on sale, seemingly at a record pace.

Amazon announced also a special offer for Prime members to see Superman a few days before its July 11 release, with early screenings on July 8.

With the trailer’s debut on Wednesday, it was also announced by Fandango that the Prime early screenings were the ticket retailer’s best first-day ticket pre-sales of 2025.

Fans have not been hesitating to scoop up their own tickets for the July 11 release, with many taking to social media to show off their ticket purchases.

Early box office projections have already been quite huge, with early numbers suggesting it could open between $154 million and $175 million.

If this record pace continues, it could be even higher, as fans have continued to express their excitement on social media all day on Wednesday after the new trailer dropped.

The trailer begins with a massive skyscraper falling and Superman (David Corenswet) swooping in to stop it from hitting the ground as we hear Lex Luthor (Nicholas) detailing his plan to destroy the Man of Steel.

Luthor and his minions are seen destroying Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, while we also see Superman/Clark Kent making out with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan), along with shots of his parents (Pruitt Taylor Vince, Neva Howell).

Droids are seeing picking up a battered Superman and taking him to the Fortress, along with shots of Superman in battle with Luthor’s various henchfolk.

One particular shot fans have been cheering for shows Superman and his beloved dog Krypto the Superdog battle an enemy, literally punching his teeth out and hitting the camera lens, breaking the proverbial ‘fourth wall.’ 

Superman is also see clashing with the abrasive Green Lantern character Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), who challenges him to, ‘make a move, big blue.’

More shots show people all over the world rooting for Superman, which infuriates Luthor, who says, ‘They chose him, let them die.’
