Actor Nicholas Hoult apparently hasn't got used to being a heartthrob. The Skins star - who plays super-cool bad boy Tony in the hit Channel 4 show - finds it 'weird' having female fans, according to reports in the Daily Mail. Nicholas told the paper: "My sister said that one of her mates at school had a picture of me on her wall. People have Orlando Bloom on the wall, not me. That's just weird." But it seems his co-star April Pearson - who plays his girlfriend Michelle - finds the About A Boy star very attractive. She said: "In my first scene I had to straddle Nick and snog his face off. "I hadn't seen About A Boy and when they told me I was going to snog Nick Hoult, I Googled him. "All I could find was pictures of this weird-looking boy and I thought, 'Oh no, I have to kiss a boy with a pudding-bowl haircut.' Then when he walked in the room I thought 'Brilliant'."
