Nicholas Hoult: 'I'm not secretly dating Kristen Stewart'

British actor Nicholas Hoult has shot down reports suggesting he's dating his Equals co-star Kristen Stewart.

The Warm Bodies star, who previously romanced Jennifer Lawrence, told People magazine he's always being linked to his co-stars, but there's always little truth to the rumors.

The 26-year-old actor said, "Of course there's always going to be speculation, but there’s also like a whole business behind people kind of fueling those fires and creating speculation.

"There’s kind of a whole industry behind that at play that has nothing to do with the actual people."

It appears Kristen is already all loved up - she has been spotted kissing and hugging girlfriend Soko in Paris and Los Angeles in recent weeks, while the French singer/songwriter recently told a magazine interviewer she is "very, very, very in love".

However, Stewart does have a penchant for Brits - she dated Robert Pattinson while they were filming the Twilight series, and she also briefly romanced her Snow White and the Huntsman director Rupert Sanders.
