Nicholas Hoult posed for the cover of the V Man spring issue, and spoke with the magazine on his relationship with Oscar winning Jennifer Lawrence.

According to E! News, Hoult met Lawrence at a screen test before they starred together in X-Men: First Class. Hoult has appreciated the time they have been able to spend together recently, with award shows and filming their upcoming movie X-Men: Days of Future Past.

“It’s fun because in this business you are away from one another for long periods of time,” Hoult tells V Man. “So when you’re on set together it’s a brilliant thing, because you actually get to spend time together.”

The Daily Mail notes that Hoult also opened up about their characters in the upcoming film.

“He’s not happy and comfortable in his blue form,” he says of his character Beast, in comparison to Lawrence’s Mystique. “Whereas she’s becoming more at peace with hers and understand. She’s kind of maturing a lot quicker than him.”

Hoult claims that even through all the success, Lawrence is just the same as always.

“It’s like that thing whereby you don’t believe your own hype. Enjoy the good times, but don’t get swept away with it,” he says. “It is well-deserved for her. I haven’t really seen any change in her.”
