July 13, 2025: Fresh off his role as Lex Luthor in Superman, actor Nicholas Hoult has taken on a new off-screen role as a global ambassador for Save the Children. The British actor visited London’s Rich Mix arts center to connect with young fans, share his acting journey, and inspire future creatives.
During a special Q&A, Hoult discussed his childhood, love for film, and what it’s like to portray a villain in a major superhero franchise. The event was hosted by Save the Children, which works to provide children around the world with access to education, healthcare, and protection.
“It’s been a real privilege to meet the children here at Rich Mix on my first day as an official ambassador,” Hoult said. “Seeing their joy and passion reminded me of my own early love for film. It’s inspiring to meet the next generation of creatives.”
Save the Children U.K.’s head of corporate partnerships, Mabel McKeown, praised Hoult’s involvement: “We’re thrilled to welcome Nicholas as our latest ambassador. Today’s workshop has been truly inspiring for the children involved.”
Hoult joins a long list of past celebrity ambassadors for the charity, including Jennifer Garner, Dakota Fanning, Camila Cabello, and Olivia Wilde.
Meanwhile, Superman, directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet as Superman and Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, is currently playing in theaters.
