British actor, Nicholas Hoult, is our latest Save the children ambassador and has supported our work for over 14 years. His filmography includes About a Boy, X-Men, Warm Bodies, Tolkien, A Single Man, Clash of the Titans and Superman. As an actor he has received several accolades, including nominations for a British Academy Film Award, two Golden Globe Awards, and a Primetime Emmy Award. 

Hoult has offered Save the Children unwavering support by shining a spotlight on emergency campaigns and taking part in Christmas Jumper Day on multiple occasions over the years, continuing to use his voice and platform to highlight issues facing children all over the world.

Speaking about his visit, he said: “It’s been a real privilege to meet the children here at Rich Mix on my first day as an official ambassador for Save the Children. Seeing the joy that they got from taking part in the workshop reminded me how much I loved being involved in film from a young age. It’s clear how passionate they are, and it’s been so inspiring to meet the next generation of creatives, who come from all walks of life. I have no doubt they’re on the right path to fulfil their dreams.

During the very busy Superman tour, Nick’s first programme visit for the organisation was to surprise children at a play project in London, where they were taking part in a film and multimedia workshop, exploring what it means to be a superhero. In addition to participating in the workshop, Hoult also took part in a Q&A session with the students.
