"Nicholas Hoult"


Nicholas Caradoc Hoult (born 7 December 1989) is an English actor and model, best known for his roles in the films About a Boy (2002), X-Men: First Class (2011), Warm Bodies (2013), and Jack the Giant Slayer (2013), and for portraying Tony Stonem in the E4 drama series Skins.

Hoult was born in Wokingham, Berkshire, the third of four children of Glenis (née Brown), a piano teacher, and Roger Hoult, a pilot for British Airways. His siblings are Clarista, James, and Rosie, and his great-aunt was actress Dame Anna Neagle.

Hoult attended Ranelagh School, made his professional debut in the 1996 film Intimate Relations (at the age of 7), and worked mainly in television, until the success of About a Boy, in which he played Marcus.

While at Farnborough Sixth Form, he gained a lead role as Tony Stonem in the first two series of E4 teen drama Skins. Hoult was nominated for a Walkers Home Grown Talent Award and won the Monte Carlo TV Festival Award for Outstanding Actor in a Drama Series for the role. In 2009, Hoult appeared in the Tom Ford film A Single Man, alongside Colin Firth and Julianne Moore. He replaced Jon Kortajarena as the face of Tom Ford eyewear for the spring 2010 collection.



In 2010, Hoult was nominated for the BAFTA Rising Star Award, the only award to be voted by the British public. He has appeared in the video to The Midnight Beast song "Lez Be Friends". He also voices 'Elliot' in the video game, Fable III. On 8 July 2010, it became public that he had been cast in the role of Beast in the X-Men spin-off, X-Men: First Class, directed by Matthew Vaughn. MTV Networks' NextMovie.com named him one of the 'Breakout Stars to Watch for in 2011'. In 2013, Hoult starred as the title character in the film Jack the Giant Slayer, and also as the main character, "R," in the zombie romance film Warm Bodies.

Hoult began dating American actress Jennifer Lawrence, whom he met on the set of X-Men: First Class, in the Summer of 2010. They tried to maintain a low key relationship, never walking red carpets together, But after over a year of relationship Jennifer began to talk to press about it. Due to Jennifer's increase of fame after the premiere of The Hunger Games they started having problems. They split up in January 2013. And it is said that Jennifer broke Nicholas's heart. Regardless this they seem to remain friends as they were spotted having dinner in New York City in April 2013.

For his ongoing charity work with Christian Aid, Hoult was entered into the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children's Hall of Fame in 2007. Nicholas also supports the Enough Food IF campaign, a charity to end global hunger.  And works closely with the Teenage Cancer Trust

"Saat Ibu Memasak Di Dapur"

Gambar
Setelah makan malam bersama keluarga, seorang ibu dan kedua putrinya bersama-sama mencuci piring di dapur. Sementara sang ayah dan putranya asyik menonton televisi di ruang keluarga.  Tiba-tiba terdengar suara piring pecah dari arah dapur. Sang putra langsung menatap ke ayahnya dan berkata “Pasti yang memecahkan piring itu ibu ya pak?”. Ayahnya membalas “Kok kamu tahu?”. “Karena aku tidak mendengar ibu membentak siapapun di arah dapur sana” jawab si putra.  (Jadilah seorang ibu yang menyayangi dengan cara tidak memarahi anak dengan membentaknya, sehingga sang anak menjadi ketakutan dan memiliki trauma yang bisa terbawa sampai dia besar nanti) .

Radang usus buntu memang salah satu penyakit yang paling umum, terutama pada kelompok anak-anak dan remaja usia 11-20 tahun.

Saya sendiri sering sekali mendapatkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan seperti: Apakah usus buntu? Mengapa usus buntu meradang? Bagaimana mengetahui saya terkena radang usus buntu? Apakah operasi adalah satu-satunya pilihan pengobatan? Apakah ada alternatif non-operasi? Bagaimana mencegahnya? dll. Untuk itu mari kita bahas pertanyaan tersebut satu per satu. Apakah usus buntu? Usus buntu adalah sebuah organ sebesar jari dengan panjang beberapa sentimeter yang menempel di sekum (bagian pertama dari usus besar),

PEMBANTU LUGU

Ini cerita dari seorang teman yang bertahun silam pergi ke Papua New Guinea untuk urusan bisnis. Ia ditemani oleh dua orang temannya dan tinggal di sebuah rumah di pedalaman. Rumah ini dirawat oleh seorang lokal, yang tugasnya hanya dua yakni merawat rumah dan memasak. Semuanya oke-oke saja, kecuali satu hal: mereka punya satu botol anggur yang mahal yang disimpan di ruang makan, yang setiap harinya sepertinya terus berkurang padahal mereka tidak pernah meminumnya. Anggur ini mahal dan mereka ingin menyimpannya untuk acara spesial. Yang mereka temukan adalah setiap hari jumlahnya sedikit demi sedikit berkurang. Mereka pun memutuskan untuk mengukur kekurangannya dengan membuat garis kecil pada botol, sehingga apabila memang berkurang lagi mereka bisa tahu dengan jelas. Dan setelah membuat garis tersebut, mereka menemukan memang jumlah anggur dalam botol tersebut berkurang terus setiap hari, walau sedikit demi sedikit. Mereka tidak punya tertuduh lain lagi selain sang penungg
