Kristen Stewart Is A 'Lovely' And 'A Wonderful' Girl, Says Nicholas Hoult

Nicholas Hoult is all praises for his “Equals” co-star Kristen Stewart. The actor recently revealed his admiration for Kristen at the South by Southwest film festival. According to Nicholas, the “Twilight” actress is “talented.”

“I really can't speak highly enough about her. She's a lovely and a wonderful girl… She's just got such a smart approach to her work and she's a real artist,” he said to Marc Malkin of E Online. Nicholas and Kristen have reportedly spent a lot of time together while working on the sci-fi film “Equals.” In the film, Nicholas plays the role of Silas and Kristen plays Nia. The film tells the story of a Utopian society where emotions have been eradicated and humans live a peaceful life. Silas gets expelled from the society when he is diagnosed with a certain kind of disease and starts having emotions. He is later attracted to Nia, who also has the same infection but is hiding it.

The film is a love story and has been directed by “Like Crazy” director Drake Doremus. According to Nicholas, his character starts to “develop a relationship” with Kristen’s character. Moreover, in the utopian world of “Equals,” people are not allowed to have relationships.

Kristen and Nicholas also have a slew of love scenes in "Equals." He had revealed in his previous interview that shooting intimate scenes with Kristen was like shooting “Hobbit," as reported by MTV. Nicholas (6’3’’) is taller than Kristen (5’5’’), and at times he based the character “loosely on Quasimodo.”

While shooting for the film, Nicholas and Kristen were also linked. They were spotted eating sushi at a fish market in Japan and ziplining, according to E Online. However, the romance rumours were never confirmed.

Kristen has previously dated her “Twilight” co-star Robert Pattinson. They broke up after Kristen got involved with her “The Snow White and the Huntsman” director Rupert Sanders. After their break-up, the couple reportedly tried rekindling their romance but failed. Robert is currently in a relationship with FKA Twigs. Meanwhile, Nicholas was previously in a relationship with the Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence. They called it off for unknown reasons.
