Did you know that two of the people from the most recent X-Men movies shared a birthday? That’s right Nicholas Hoult who played Beast, and Caleb Landry Jones who played Banshee, in X-Men First Class, are both born on December 7th! That’s crazy.
In celebration of their birthdays, here are some fun facts about the actors!
Nicholas Hoult was born on December 7, 1989 in Berkshire, England. He got his start in acting at the age of 7 in the 1996 film Intimate Relations. His first big break was About a Boy, which Hoult almost didn’t take the role of due to the fact that it would impact his education. Hoult viewed acting like a hobby.
Caleb Landry Jones was born on December 7, 1989 in Garland, Texas. One of his first credited roles was Jimmy Adler in Friday Night Lights but he didn’t have a main starring role until Antiviral in 2012. While his character was well loved in X-Men prequel run, his character was unfortunately killed off-screen, but who knows what will happen with the new merging of the MCU into the Fox ran X-Men.
