Nicholas Hoult speaks out on Jennifer Lawrence nude photo leak

It’s pretty obvious that the nude photos hacked from Jennifer Lawrence‘s phone were originally sent to ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult. They were together, in a long-distance relationship, for about four years, which is what Jennifer alluded to in her recent interview with Vanity Fair. So what does he think of the whole thing?

Here’s what he said on Good Day New York:

Hoult, who appeared on Good Day New York on Oct. 9 alongside movie director Jake Paltrow, was asked if he would weigh in on the scandal.

While he didn’t confirm nor deny he was the recipient of the photos, Hoult did have something to say.

“It’s shocking that things like that happen in the world. It’s a shame,” said Hoult.

Yes, it is “a shame”. Frankly, he doesn’t seem that bothered – but then, it is his ex-girlfriend, so I don’t think there’s any love lost there (or so one would assume).
