Kristen Stewart Uses Nicholas Hoult Dating To Get Robert Pattinson's Attention?

Rumors that Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult are purportedly dating first sparked when the two starred in the film "Equals."

Back then, there were speculations that Nicholas Hoult may have helped Kristen Stewart get over Robert Pattinson when their dating relationship ended.

In an interview with The Daily Beast last year, the "Twilight" actress admitted that she and Nicholas Hoult established a strong friendship when they began filming "Equals" in August 2014.

During the filming, both Stewart and Hoult were reportedly on the process of moving on from their breakups - Kristen from Robert Pattinson, and Nicholas Hoult from Jennifer Lawrence.

"It was incredibly painful," Kristen Stewart said. "Ugh, f**king kill me."

"It was a really good time for both of us to make this movie. Not all of my friends have been through what I've been through, or what some people have tasted at a relatively-speaking young age, and we were not expected to do anything. Everything that we did was explorative, and a meditation on what we already knew."

It seemed that having Nicholas Hoult on her side during those times may have helped Kristen Stewart ponder on her life after Robert Pattinson.

"We all felt akin by how much we've been through, and to utilize that is so scary," Kristen Stewart added, as quoted in the news report.

"And to acknowledge it, reassess, and jump back into it? Usually you want to move on. But at least we could use some of that for some good."

Did Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult's closeness deepened even further and developed into a dating relationship? Furthermore, some fans speculate: is Kristen Stewart flaunting her closeness with Hoult to catch Robert Pattinson's attention?

It may be unlikely. According to a report, Stewart is so into her work these days to even think about her past lovers, including Robert Pattinson.

"Everyone close to Stewart confirms that the actress is busy with her own life, focusing on her thriving career, to worry about what her ex-boyfriends are doing, or with whom they're involved," Inquisitr reported.

Kristen Stewart and Nicholas Hoult are yet to comment on rumors that they're dating.
