We've all been there: working for a crazy boss with no boundaries in a toxic work environment. While Nicholas Hoult didn't have that problem on the set of Renfield, that's the kind of story that drew him to the script. Starring opposite Nicolas Cage as the overbearing Dracula, the L'OFFICIEL Hommes Spring 2023 cover star plays the titular character, Renfield—Dracula's underling—who, after falling in love with a local traffic cop (Awkwafina), starts to wonder if his job is all that it's cracked up to be. While this isn't the actor's first comedy horror film, his recent work on The Great has really solidified his ability to capture that particular sardonic, satirical sense of humor. Luckily, Hoult will be returning to his role as Peter III of Russia in Season 3 which he promises "just keeps on getting better and better." He teases the upcoming season, "Elle Fanning is bringing some really wonderful new things to Catherine...There's more parenting. It's kind of like a co-parenting story."
