Nicholas Galitzine, new hero of romantic comedies and the film The Idea of Being With You
He’s one of Hollywood’s newest rom-com sensations. Nicholas Galitzine can indeed boast of an already well-filled CV. At just 29 years old, the British actor, who co-stars in the film The idea of being with you alongside the sublime Anne Hathawayadapted from a fan fiction about Harry Styles, has in fact very quickly established itself as a hope of sentimental cinema to absolutely follow.
Nicholas Galitzine undeniably shines with his Apollo-like appearance and his candor in this film available on Prime Video which depicts a love story between a pop star and a gallery owner older than him. Before that, we had already noticed the actor as Prince Charming in Cinderella (2021) alongside Camila Cabello. Then he played Prince Henry, falling in love with the son of the President of the United States, in My Dear F***ing Prince (2023). Between the two, he moved Netflix viewers to tears in Our bruised hearts (2022), in which he plays a broken Marine who will rebuild himself through love.
But we haven’t finished talking about him. The actor must indeed have made a lot of noise thanks to the mini-series Mary & George (2024), which will soon be broadcast on Canal+, and in which he faces Julianne Moore. The pitch? “The scandalous true story of Mary Villiers, Countess of Buckingham, who, in 17th century England, used her son George to seduce King James I and become his all-powerful lover. Through intrigue, the Villiers family became the most successful and influential the English court had ever known.“
One thing is certain, the actor who wanted to embark on a sporting career after leaving school, is not afraid of adventure. Far from restricting himself to watered-down and naive roles, Nicholas Galitzine bares himself – literally – in torrid sex scenes, which he shares with both women and men.

Actor… but also singer on social networks
“I’m not a pop star, but I love singing songs” writes Nicholas Galitzine in the description of a video TikTok viewed more than seven million times. Because acting is not the only string to the star’s bow. Very present on social networks (he is followed by 5.1 million subscribers on Instagram and 3.1 million on TikTok) Nicholas Galitzine is in fact also a singer.
Equipped with his guitar or piano, the Briton seen in the film Bottoms (2023) alongside the model Kaia Gerber, reinterprets pieces with a velvet voice. He even unveiled, in 2022, a solo single entitled Comfort.
An asset that he also highlights in the films Cinderella (2021) et The idea of being with you (2024), in which he also signs several titles from the soundtrack, like the excellent Dance Before We Walk (2024).
