Nicholas Galitzine was desperate to impress his stunt double on Masters of the Universe.

The 31-year-old actor prepared meticulously to play He-Man in the new sword and sorcery film, and Nicholas has admitted that he did his very best to impress his stunt double.

The actor - who stars in Masters of the Universe alongside Camila Mendes, Alison Brie, Morena Baccarin, Kristen Wiig, Jared Leto, and Idris Elba - told Entertainment Weekly: "I feel really like I was constantly in search of his validation, because he's such a bad***.

"But there's obviously the cliché about the actor who always wants to do his own stunts. And I got very lucky that Jonny [James], my stunt double, was so brilliant and really trained me. And we spent many, many, many hours for months together brainstorming how we could make it feel grounded in how He-Man would move."

Nicholas previously played Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of boy band August Moon, in the 2024 rom-com The Idea of You.

And while promoting the movie, Nicholas revealed that he used to perform in front of his parents during his younger years.

The London-born star - who appeared in the movie alongside Anne Hathaway - told Billboard: "There's a song that I used to perform in front of my parents and my sister. I think it was called 'Incomplete' by the Backstreet Boys. It's so melodramatic, so I think that's what makes it a perfect boy band song."

Anne, Nicholas' co-star, also revealed that she's a long-time fan of pop music.

The 43-year-old actress said at the time: "The ultimate pop song for me is Like a Prayer by Madonna, followed by close second, …Baby One More Time by Britney.

"We're really lucky right now - we're living in this glory time of pop music. There's so many ones out there right now, but those two … I think Toxic is really amazing too."
