1. Nicholas got his big break at 12 when he starred with Hugh Grant in 2002's About a Boy, the film based on Nick Hornby's book. "Hugh was brilliant," Nicholas has said. "He helped me a lot by giving me ideas and teaching me something new every day. He's my idol now."

3. Fans may someday get to see Nicholas without his clothes on. "In real life you get out of the shower naked, so why wouldn't you do it on screen?" he once said in an interview. "It's just a normal thing."
4. About face! "I don't really get recognized that much," says Nicholas of life in the spotlight. "I guess I look different without a lot of makeup on."
5. Just your averge guy? "I don't think I'm really a heartthrob," the actor swears. "I'm pretty lanky and goofy looking! But it's very flattering and that's very nice if anyone does see me as being attractive."
