Don’t be surprised if you hear the name Nicholas Galitzine more in the years to come.
The young actor has risen steadily in the ranks since he started acting professionally in 2014.
He’s gone from indie movie actor to mainstream success.
How did I get to this point?"
Galitzine toldThe Faceat the time.
Though Galitzine immediately draws attention with his looks, there’s more than meets the eye with this actor.
His charm and wit have propelled him further into success in the industry.
And it doesn’t hurt that he has amazing chemistry with his co-stars.
Here’s a look at his humble beginnings, early aspirations, and growing career.
His parents, Geoffrey Galitzine and Lora Galitzine, both worked in the finance field.
Nicholas has one sister, Lexi Galitzine, with whom he is close.
However, he always thought of himself as the “black sheep” of the family.
“I have always been problematic and a bit reckless,” he toldStyle Magazine.
The “Mary & George” star shared in a 2023 interview withL’Officielthat he comes from a diverse background.
“I’m Greek, Russian, and English,” he revealed.
Netizens suspect there might be more to his lineage, though.
Instead, he had aspirations of becoming a professional rugby player.
However, his plans were derailed by a collarbone injury when he was19.
He joined a theater group set to perform “Spring Awakening” at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
If not for a pep talk from his dad, he almost didn’t audition.
“I did [the festival] so I could go chase this girl.
And I came back with this acting agency,” he mused in an interview withWonderland.
As a newbie, Galitzine feared playing the lead.
Though fearful, he was also very thankful that the role was entrusted to him.
Although the movie nearly didn’t get made due to money issues, it eventually pushed through.
He continued, saying, “I really just want to play multi-faceted characters.
There’s a darkness inside me that makes me want to play a psychopath or something like that.”
He starred opposite Camila Cabello, Idina Menzel, and Billy Porter.
However, he didn’t feel like he belonged.
The actor didn’t know it at the time, but his big break was just around the corner.
He’s had trouble maintaining relationships both romantic and otherwise due to his hectic schedule.
“And it’s difficult.
Nevertheless, this arduous process has helped him weed out weaker connections.
Even if I’m on the other side of the world,” he said.
As of this writing, there is alotof mystery surrounding Galitzine’s dating life.
However, the identities of his partners have yet to be revealed.
We do know he loves love, though.
“I’m always hopelessly falling in love,” Galitzine revealed to British Vogue.
To get himself into the headspace of his character, he spent some time at a military facility.
“I got to spend the whole day with real Marines, training, getting advice.
It was such a memorable experience,” Galitzine shared withPeople.
A day after it debuted, it took the No.
“Purple Hearts” retained that ranking for three weeks.
This was a welcome surprise for the actor.
“I could never have imagined [the success of the film],” Galitzine toldPeople.
the actor explained in an interview with Nuit Magazine.
Over the years, the star occasionallyposted coversof songs online.
“This is a song that I very much just put out.
I didn’t try and do any sort of promotional stuff behind it.
This entailed bouncing from drama to romantic comedy to comedy within a short period.
“Fendi represents what was already my personal taste,” the actor shared with Style Magazine.
Nevertheless, Galiztine hopes his foray into the fashion industry is just the first of many.
“I hope that journey continues.”
The story is an adaptation of the book “The King’s Assassin.”
“It was trying to find hours in a day really to kind of pick up these skills.”
As of this writing, this is Galitzine’s third time playing royalty.
Perhaps his supposed royal lineage gave him a leg up in the casting calls.
Hermanus wasn’t the only person Galitzine would hit it off with, though.
He also developed a great relationship with Moore, whom he fondly calls by the nickname Julie.
As Moore told “This Morning,” “[Galitzine] was great.
He’s so talented, and he had such a wonderful attitude.”
In the movie, the “Bottoms” star plays opposite Anne Hathaway.
“I so respect and just love who Annie is as a person,” Galitzine toldAccess Hollywood.
