— -- Jennifer Lawrence just opened up for the first time about the hack and leaking of her private photos, and now her ex-boyfriend and "X-Men" co-star Nicholas Hoult is doing the same.

While promoting his new movie "Young Ones" on "Good Day New York," the host asked him about the pictures and even if they were ones sent to him.

"It's shocking that things like that happen in the world," he graciously answered.

He continued, "It's a shame."

Lawrence just broke her silence earlier this week.

"It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime," Lawrence told Vanity Fair. "It’s disgusting. The law needs to be changed, and we need to change. That’s why these Web sites are responsible."

The 24-year-old Oscar winner continued, "Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody’s mind is to make a profit from it. It’s so beyond me. I just can’t imagine being that detached from humanity. I can’t imagine being that thoughtless and careless and so empty inside."

Lawrence even addressed Holt by saying that when the pics were taken, she was in "a loving, healthy, great relationship 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."
