Idea of You Actor Nicholas Galitzine Addresses Sexuality

Julianne Moore and Nicholas Galitzine Dish on Their New Period Drama ‘Mary & George’

Nicholas Galitzine is clearing the air on the idea of you his sexuality. 

While the Idea of You star rose to fame playing queer characters in the film Red, White & Royal Blue and the miniseries Mary & George, he recently set the record straight about his own sexual identity. 

“I identify as a straight man,” Nicholas told British GQ in an interview published May 8, “but I have been a part of some incredible queer stories.”

The Bottoms actor went on to admit that his sexuality has, at times, made him second guess taking on such roles.

“I felt a sense of uncertainty sometimes about whether I’m taking up someone’s space, and perhaps guilt,” Nicholas continued. “At the same time, I see those characters as not solely their sexuality.” 

Plus, the 29-year-old insisted that any character he plays is completely separate from who he is outside of work, explaining, “I am Nick, and I’m not my role.”
