BiographyFriends and FamilyClarista Hoult [Sister] :: Rosie Hoult [Sister] :: James Hoult [Brother] :: Roger Hoult [Father] (Pilot for British Airways) :: Glenis Hoult [Mother] (Piano Teacher)Trivia and QuotesQuotes I don`t like watching myself. I get embarrassed. [about continue acting]"Yes, definitely, I love it. I`d like to stick to comedy as it`s great fun, or an action movie like "Lord of the Rings"." I`ve seen kids who only care about performing; it`s their life and it`s all they have, and it`s not a nice thing to see. It`s unhealthy and if you`re surrounded by showbusiness, that`s what can happen to you. It`s always a bit overwhelming when you arrive on set and everyone`s new, but you soon become a big family. I find the hardest thing about acting is that you have to say goodbye to everyone at the end of a shoot. In real life you get out of the shower naked, so why wouldn`t you do it on screen? It`s just a normal thing. [On being asked what it was like working with Hugh Grant] "Hugh was brilliant. He helped me a lot by giving me ideas and teaching me something new every day. He really helped me get into my role. He`s my idol now. Him and Jim Carrey - I`d like to work with him one day."
