Fans Have Realized That There is a Trend in the Actors Playing Nicholas Galitzine’s Love Interests
Nicholas Galitzine has a successful athletic career lined up for himself but had to switch to acting after an injury to his rotator cuff. His first acting role was in the movie The Beat Under My Feet in 2014.
Thereafter, he starred in movies like High Strung, Handsome Devil, and The Watcher in the Woods. He began gaining recognition with the streaming film Purple Hearts. Recently, The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Camila Mendes will be portraying the character of Teela opposite Galitzine’s He-Man in Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Films’ live-action adaptation of Masters of the Universe.
This has led to a fan on X claiming that he does not agree to do a role unless a Latin American actor is playing his lover’s role, and it makes them respect the actor more.
In a lot of the projects he has appeared in, his love interests have been portrayed by actors from Latin America. In Cinderella, Camila Cabello played the titular character. Further, Sofia Carson and Taylor Zakhar Perez played his lovers in Purple Hearts and Red, White & Royal Blue.
However, this is not to say that all of his lovers have been played by Latino actors. In his most recent movie The Idea of You, Anne Hathaway played his lover, which suggests this might simply be a coincidence.
