Nicholas HoultNicholas HoultNicholas Hoult has said he'd rather go naked than wear a certain garment.

Gulp.

Last we remember he was the sweet little chap from About A Boy, with Hugh Grant.

One blink and he's all grown up and talking about being in the buff.

Nic, star of Skins and new drama Coming Down The Mountain, chatted to the Sunday Mirror about getting his kit off.

He said: "In real life you get out of the shower naked, so why wouldn't you do it on screen? It's just a normal thing."

Erm, OK.

And as for that certain garment, it's a bit of Y, oh, Y.

Chatting about Coming Down The Mountain he said: "There was one scene where my character has to appear wearing a pair of Y-fronts, and the script was very specific about it.

"I wouldn't be seen dead in them. I'd rather do a nude scene any day.

"I was thinking about protesting, but in the end, the scene was dropped anyway. That was definitely a lucky break as far as my image was concerned!"

Fancy seeing a bit more of Nicholas - pop off to our gallery...
