Pete Davidson Calls Nicholas Hoult a Father of Four
Davidson made the remark in an Entertainment Tonight interview while promoting the film How to Rob a Bank, and Hoult did not correct it.
Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Celebrities
Pete Davidson described Nicholas Hoult as a father of four during an Entertainment Tonight interview, adding 'four under what, seven? Which is nuts.' Hoult did not correct the remark during the interview, and the two co-star in the film How to Rob a Bank.
Why it matters
The remark is a notable public comment about a co-star's family life, and it drew attention because it does not match the number of children Hoult and his partner Bryana Holly are known to share. The exchange also highlights how off-hand comments in promotional interviews can spread widely without clarification.
Pete Davidson's on-air remark claimed four children for Nicholas Hoult, while Hoult and Bryana Holly share two children, Joaquin (born 2018) and a second child (born late 2022). The basis for Davidson's figure is not stated in the source.

Late 2022: The couple's second child was born.
March 2026: Bryana Holly hinted at a third baby at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party.
Industry Dynamics
Promotional interviews for studio films routinely generate off-hand personal remarks between co-stars, which circulate faster than any correction. This exchange fits that pattern, with a claimed family size that the couple's own public record does not support.
Readers who follow the film How to Rob a Bank can expect the co-stars to continue promoting it in interviews like this one. The remark itself does not change how or where the film is available.
The takeaway
Off-hand remarks in promotional interviews can circulate widely before anyone clarifies them, so checking a claim about a public figure's family against their own statements is worthwhile. Here, the couple's known record of two children offers a simple point of reference.
