Nicholas Hoult is an English actor. He is the son of Glenis J. (Brown), who was born in Rochford, Essex, and Roger K. Hoult, who was born in Birmingham, West Midlands. Nicholas has a child with his partner, American model Bryana Holly Bezlaj.
Nicholas’s middle name, Caradoc, means “the beloved one” in Welsh, and is the name of a legendary Welsh monarch and Knight of the Round Table. It is not clear if Nicholas himself has Welsh ancestry.
Nicholas is said to be a great-nephew of actress, singer, and dancer Anna Neagle (born Florence Marjorie Robertson). It is not clear through which line the two are related, or if the relation is biological. Nicolas’s sisters Rosanna Hoult and Clarista Hoult have acted on television.
Nicholas’s patrilineal ancestry can be traced back to his great-great-great-great-grandparents, Joseph Hoult, who was born, c. 1815, in Staffordshire, England, and Mary Ann Yardley, who was born, c. 1816, also in Staffordshire, to Thomas Yardley and Rebecca Gibbons.
Nicholas’s paternal grandfather was Henry Hoult (the son of Harry/Henry Hoult and Mary Ann Wright). Nicholas’s grandfather Henry was born in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England. Nicholas’s great-grandfather Harry was the son of Thomas Hoult and Maria Tooth. Nicholas’s great-grandmother Mary Ann was the daughter of John Henshaw and Mary Ann Wright.
Nicholas’s paternal grandmother was Laura O. Godfrey (the daughter of Frederick J. Godfrey and Lilian R. Cornish). Laura was born in Aston, Warwickshire, England.
Nicholas’s maternal grandparents’ surnames were Brown and Pardoe.

When the IMDb message boards were around, they said his mother was Pakistani or Palestinian.
It was Palestinian. I don’t think I’ve heard Pakistani. It comes from someone adding Palestinian to his Wikipedia page around 2007, and then a magazine reprinting it.
His mother was born in Palestine, but I don’t think she was Palestinian.
His mother was born in Rochford, Essex, which is geographically near the Palestinian territories, but I would still describe it as a different place (sort of).
“Rochford, Essex, which is geographically near the Palestinian territories”
Huh?
Were you to even passingly glance at a map or map-like object, you would see that what I said is plainly self-evident.
lol. I know this is old but I glanced by this today and I must say this is a good geography joke, indeed.

Tom Cruise is Irish.
Hoult has mother Glenis Brown and Welsh middle name, Caradoc.
