If you're not aware of the book - and you should definitely read it if you haven't - Steven Stelfox is a toxic A&R label exec who would do anything to get ahead in the game. Backstabbing, loads of drugs, threesomes, murder... Stelfox is on a par with American Psycho's Patrick Bateman.
Hoult clearly paid close attention to Christian Bale's Bateman. Stelfox is also a narrating anti-hero with charm and good looks, which didn't go unnoticed by Rita Ora and Charlie XCX at one of the film's screenings his week. Apparently they cooed as Hoult did his worst.
Who cares if you're a sick f*ck, as long as you're good looking sick f*ck, right? (Not that you can blame them; Hoult wears just Calvin Klein pants for a fair chunk of the film, his six-pack almost too impressive for Stelfox's cocaine and champagne diet).
Sitting down the day after the film's premiere in London, which JOE attended, Hoult discussed his first adult lead.
He tells us it was John Niven's writing that attracted him to the role, in fact it was years ago he agreed to it, how one of his favourite scenes is smashing in James Corden's skull to the sound of The Prodigy.
And how even after all this time, he still can't watch himself back on screen. He's so critical, in fact, that even I felt awkward...

JOE also sat down with Hoult's co-star Craig Roberts. You can read our interview with him next week.
