Preparing for his role as Emperor Peter III of Russia in the TV show The Great, Nicholas Hoult wondered if he should go for the accent. The 31-year-old had just finished filming The Current War, a movie in which he played the inventor Nikola Tesla, and it struck him he could, without too much effort, repurpose his Serbian into a passable Russian. Hoult is thoughtful, conscientious, and takes his job very seriously. âIt didnât flow in the right way,â he says, of his stab at Russian, and back he went to the drawing board, specifically to an exaggerated version of his own accent. âI donât go the full public schoolboy, but Iâm very posh â educated but childish.â A new comic antihero was born.
