Today's crush for Man Crush Monday is a guy whose allure is taking hold of the public. He is getting a lot of roles - many of them gay. You already know and love him, so let's show some respect for our #MCM Nicholas Galitzine.
This six-foot-tall hunk is everywhere right now. There is no denying his ascension in the film industry. He got attention from most of us over the summer when he starred in the Amazon Prime film Red, White Royal Blue.
That wasn't his only Amazon Prime project. He starred as Prince Robert in Kay Cannon's Cinderella starring Camila Cabello. He is also popular amongst Gen Z for starring in the Emma Seligman comedy Bottoms and the remake of The Craft before that. He also starred in the Netflix film Purple Hearts in which he gave everyone a purple hard-on.
He will go gay again in the upcoming Starz series Mary George which co-stars Julianne Moore. Julianne Moore in a TV show? Oh, mother! That is a big deal for Nicholas Galitzine because he will certainly be watched. The plot of this series follows Julianne as The Countess of Buckingham who is also Nicholas' mother. He plays George Villiers, Duke of Buckingham, whose mother teaches her son to seduce King James I in order to become his lover and have a say in political affairs.
By the way, this is a true story. Well, loosely and allegedly. It has long been rumored that King James' trusted companion George was indeed his lover. King James had many lovers of all genders, which would be known to those in the royal circle so it makes sense that The Countess would try to seize this opportunity with her sexy song. According to a poet at the time named Theophile de Viau: "it is well known that the king of England fucks the Duke of Buckingham." Well, there it is then!
This sounds a lot like what happened in The Favourite, which was also a true story. It sounds like this must have been common practice for the royals back in the day. I wonder if it still is!
Regardless, it is very clear that Nicholas Galitzine is going to have to seduce the king on this Starz show. That means we are in for more fantastic gay scenes from Nicholas. The question remains: will he finally go nude? He hasn't yet, but these scenes sound like they will require it.
Lastly, you might be wondering if Nicholas is gay. He sadly is not, but he is a fierce ally. He has been asked why he takes these roles and he has said: "I have so many friends within the community, and I know so many of them didn’t feel like they had these stories growing up...I think with all of these characters the thing that I find really intriguing as an actor is that underbelly of vulnerability and having to hide oneself."
Well, stop hiding yourself and take off your clothes!
