Nicholas Hoult has finally addressed Jennifer Lawrence nude photo scandal. In an interview with "Good Day New York" on Thursday, October 9, Nicholas said, "It's shocking that things like that happen in the world. It's a shame."

Nicholas' comments came after the host brought up the photo hacking scandal, saying, "Speaking of friends, Jennifer Lawrence, she's been making a lot of news lately because of the pictures that were hacked and I think they might have been pictures that were sent to you."

At that time, the "Jack the Giant Slayer" actor looked a little bit awkward as he appeared on the show along with Gwyneth Paltrow's brother, director Jake Paltrow, to promote his new movie "Young Ones".

Earlier this week, Jennifer broke her silence to Vanity Fair about the nude photo leaks, saying she was afraid how the scandal would affect her career. "Just because I'm a public figure, just because I'm an actress, does not mean that I asked for this," stated the "The Hunger Games" actress.

She continued, "It does not mean that it comes with the territory. It's my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting. I can't believe that we even live in that kind of world."

Jennifer actually wanted to address the scandal when the nude photos first emerged but reconsidered. "Every single thing that I tried to write made me cry or get angry," she said, "I started to write an apology, but I don't have anything to say I'm sorry for. I was in a loving, healthy, great relationship [with Hoult] for four years. It was long distance, and either your boyfriend is going to look at porn or he's going to look at you."

Nicholas and Jennifer called it quits in August. At that time, a source told Us Weekly that the reason behind their split was because of their "difficult schedules." Jennifer is now dating Chris Martin.
