At the new vampire horror-comedy’s New York City premiere Tuesday, Hoult, 33, toldEntertainment Tonightthat working with Cage, 59, in his full Dracula costume and makeup every day made him feel “really giddy most of the time on set.”
“It really was one of the most bizarre scenarios of my life looking glancing over and seeing Nic Cage, dressed fully as Dracula,” Hoult said. “I mean, it doesn’t get better than that. So I was really giddy most of the time on set, and had the best time working with him.”
Cage was able to bring his own influences to the iconic vampire character at times during filming, the actor added.
“The funny thing was, when he switched on to Dracula, all the influences that he was bringing to that character and where he was bringing inspiration from, it was just like, it was really fun,” Hoult toldET. “And then occasionally you just see this little Nic Cage-ism within, which is what we love seeing him do in films.”
