Who Is Nicholas Galitzine? Meet ‘The Idea of You’ Star a.k.a. Internet’s Latest Heartthrob

Mar 25, 2024   •   Meryl Medel

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve probably been seeing tons of photos and videos of this handsome guy named Nicholas Galiztine. He’s been promoting his latest project The Idea of You alongside Anne Hathaway recently, so he’s been making a splash as the newest heartthrob in Hollywood, conquering the internet one gorgeous smile at a time. Here are 8 things to know about Nicholas Galiztine:

 

He’s currently 29 years old

He was born on 29 September 1994, making him a Libra (in case any astrology girls are interested).

He’s a descendant of Russian nobility

His mother is Greek-American, while his father descended from the House of Golitsyn, a family of Russian nobility.

According to Hollywood Ancestry, the Golitsyns or Galitzines were one of the largest and noblest princely houses under the then-Tsardom of Russia. However, during the Russian Revolution, his ancestors were forced to flee to England, where they started a new life.

Often, men in their family were styled as Prince Golitsyn or Prince Galitzine. So it’s safe to say it’s in Nicholas’ blood to play royal roles.

 

He was on the road to be an athlete

During his school days, he regularly played rugby and football, even competing in some athletics competitions. However, an injury prevented him from further pursuing sports as a career.

He got on the acting path after he was scouted at a festival. “There was a girl who was going up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival who I really fancied. I did [the festival] so I could go chase this girl. And I came back with this acting agency,” he told Wonderland Magazine in 2019.

Thank you, girl, for your service in bringing Nicholas Galitzine to that festival so he could be discovered.

 

He’s been acting since 2014

Nicholas made his acting debut in The Beat Beneath My Feet (2014), but he rose to fame with the 2022 Netflix musical romance film Purple Hearts and the 2023 queer romcom Red, White & Royal Blue.

His latest project finds him in The Idea of You, where he plays the frontman of a fictional boyband who falls in love with a single mother, played by Anne Hathaway. His character here is reportedly based on Harry Styles.

 

He’s “collecting Oscar-winning actresses like infinity stones”

…as one netizen has jokingly tweeted. And which Nicholas himself picked up.

“i need another oscar winning actress for my next infinity stone” he’s so chronically online it’s hilarious pic.twitter.com/uzLW8BfdmH

Aside from Anne Hathaway, Nicholas has starred alongside another Oscar-winning actress Julianne Moore in the 2024 limited series Mary & George, as well as Anjelica Huston in the 2017 horror remake The Watcher in the Woods.

He’s also close with Oscar-nominated actress Uma Thurman, with whom he starred in Red, White & Royal Blue and Netflix’s 2019 supernatural horror series Chambers.

 

He’s stayed close friends with his co-stars

He has formed sweet and cute friendships with his co-stars, often posting photos on his Instagram.

He can actually sing

Yes, he can hold a tune, as he does in all the songs of the fictional band August Moon in The Idea of You. The fictional band’s single “Dance Before We Walk” is sung by Nicholas and co-written by Savan Kotecha, best known for writing some of One Direction’s biggest hits including “What Makes You Beautiful”, “One Thing” and “Kiss You.”

For his role as the prince in the Camila Cabello-led Cinderella, Nicholas Galitzine also sang, appearing on seven songs on the soundtrack.

 

He identifies as straight

Despite playing several queer characters on screen, he identifies as straight, according to an interview with the podcast Just for Variety.

After being asked if there was a discussion with the Red, White & Royal Blue film director about a straight actor playing a gay character, Nicholas answered: “I think it’s a very sensitive subject, I think the important thing for me was to let [director Matthew López] know that I loved who Henry was as a person, and I empathized with him as a character, and I just wanted to try and deliver as honest a performance — never a caricature — as I could.”

While he remains private about his personal life, he mentioned having at least two ex-girlfriends in an interview with L’Officiel, and now netizens are speculating that he soft-launched a girlfriend in a recent Instagram story.

this is so random lmao I thought everyone already knew??? pic.twitter.com/SnkcJRlNei
