British actor Nicholas Galitzine recently shared his feelings of being objectified and the desire to be recognized for his talent rather than just his looks. The 29-year-old actor, known for his roles in films like 'The Idea of You' and 'Red, White and Royal Blue,' expressed discomfort with comments about his appearance, likening it to feeling like a 'cut of beef at a meat market.'
In a candid interview, Galitzine emphasized the importance of being taken seriously as a performer, stating that he has often felt overshadowed by discussions about his physical appearance. He revealed that this perception has not only affected his casting experiences but also how others perceive his work.
Galitzine's latest role in 'The Idea of You,' where he plays the lead singer of a boy band who falls in love with a single mother portrayed by Anne Hathaway, has sparked comparisons to musician Harry Styles. However, Galitzine stressed the need to differentiate his character from Styles, emphasizing the importance of establishing his own identity in the industry.
Reflecting on his audition process for the film, Hathaway shared how Galitzine's choice of song and their subsequent dance routine created a unique connection between them. Galitzine described the experience as unlike anything he had ever encountered, highlighting the chemistry they shared on set.
As Galitzine continues to navigate his career in the entertainment industry, he remains focused on breaking away from being solely defined by his appearance and hopes to be recognized for his talent and dedication to his craft.
