Nicholas Hoult ‘very proud’ of ex Jennifer Lawrence

Showing no signs of being a bitter ex-boyfriend, Nicholas Hoult only had nice things to say about Jennifer Lawrence after they ended their two-year relationship.

The actress has already racked up some serious hardware for her role in “Silver Linings Playbook” and is up for a win at the Oscars next month.

Hoult told E! News at the LA premiere of his film “Warm Bodies” that he is “very proud” of her, adding he’s definitely rooting for over other “Best Actress” contenders Jessica Chastain, Naomi Watts, Emmanuelle Riva, and Quvenzhané Wallis.

The British actor, who played Hugh Grant’s kid in 2002’s “About a Boy,” met the stunning blonde on the set of 2010’s “X-Men: First Class.”

“He’s my favorite person to be around and makes me laugh harder than anybody,” Lawrence, 22, told Elle just last month in the Dec. 2012 issue.
