Nicholas Galitzine feels 'so proud' of Masters of the Universe
Nicholas Galitzine has loved playing He-Man in Masters of the Universe.
The 30-year-old actor has revealed via social media that he's relished the experience of playing the iconic superhero in the live-action film reboot of Masters of the Universe, and Nicholas admitted that he feels very proud to be so heavily involved with the project, which is based on the Mattel toy line.
The London-born star wrote on Instagram: "Well, that's a wrap on Masters of the Universe. It has been an honour shouldering the responsibility of playing Adam and He Man. It's been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it. There's not much I can show you, but I am so proud of the movie we've made. Thanks to our amazing cast and crew for all your hard work."
Nicholas previously confirmed via a post on TikTok that filming had wrapped on the movie.
He wrote on the video-sharing app: "No ships left to fly that's a wrap on masters of the universe!! (sic)"
The Travis Knight-directed movie is based on a script written by Chris Butler. The film boasts a star-studded cast that includes the likes of Camila Mendes, Jared Leto, Idris Elba, Morena Baccarin, Alison Brie and Charlotte Riley.
Meanwhile, Nicholas previously revealed that he'd overhauled his lifestyle in preparation for playing He-Man.
The actor admitted that he was consuming around "4,000 calories a day" as part of his preparations for the role.
He told W Magazine: "There's been a lot of eating and weightlifting, a lot of stunts.
"I'm eating about 4,000 calories a day, but the amount of physical work I'm doing, you end up hungry at the end of the day, which is quite surprising. This is the fun part."
Nicholas ultimately intended to cut down on his eating, explaining that it would likely cause his mood to change.
The actor continued: "I will eventually go into what's called the cutting phase, where I'm going to be starved and so rude to everyone. I can only apologise for the person I'm going to become in a few months' time."
Nicholas loved sport and exercise during his younger years, and he actually fell into acting by accident.
The movie star shared: "That was my one love. I never acted as a kid.
"I played rugby union, and at one point I was second best at javelin for my age group. There are no pads or headgear in rugby, and I ended up getting concussed, so I stopped when I was 17. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life, but, on a whim, I did a play. I was scouted, and this option of becoming an actor was kind of put to me."

Stranded on Honeymoon Island contestant Amy Dickinson takes us behind the scenes on Seven's reality series
A bold new reality dating series is hitting screens this Monday — and it might just have the craziest premise yet. Stranded on Honeymoon Island sees 12 unlucky-in-love Aussie singles paired off after a speed-dating event. They have no idea who they've been matched with before saying 'I do' to a complete stranger. Sound familiar? Not so fast: not long after, they are turfed overboard from a boat and forced to swim in their wedding gear to a nearby deserted island, where they will spend 21 days living together as bride and groom. The unique dating experiment, narrated by radio identity Jackie O, has been described as 'Survivor meets MAFS', and is certainly not for the faint of heart. But as Stranded on Honeymoon Island contestant Amy Dickinson explains, after a string of failed romances, she had nothing left to lose. 'I have a history of failed relationships. Basically, I have got a tendency to choose a narcissist,' the 30-year-old said. 'All of the sort of bad traits you can imagine in a man, I somehow gravitate towards them.' When Dickinson decided to apply, the TikTok star , who has documented her disastrous dating stories for her followers, was fresh from a stint living abroad in Amsterdam, where she had fallen hard for a man who wasn't what he seemed. 'I had fallen in love while I was there (with) this amazing man … who turned out to be a pathological liar,' she said. Dickinson, co-founder of The Social Summit, a conference for creators, marketers and brands, was sent an ad for Seven's new series, 'and I thought, 'OK. Well, you know what, I am not doing a very good job of selecting the men that I date, maybe someone else can do a better job than I can?'.' Fast forward, and she's swimming to shore alongside her new groom, TV motoring host Mike Dawes, 38. The couple must live together in a small gazebo open to the elements for the duration of the experiment, meeting up with the five other couples — each on their own nearby deserted island — at regular scheduled catch-ups at 'Couples Cove'. Every few days, a mysterious crate will wash ashore, containing memories, news from home and games designed to help the couples connect with one another and the other contestants. Throughout, each couple will have the choice to stay or to 'flare', essentially tapping out of the experiment, and once everyone's time on their islands concludes, each bride and groom will reunite to make their final promises to one another. It's certainly not going to be an easy road. Everyone is stranded with just the basics, and only the clothes they wash ashore in — ingenuity is the order of the day. 'You had to get very creative,' Dickinson said. 'And I really enjoyed that side of things, because it was a lot of problem solving, which I really love.' She and Dawes certainly got creative, fashioning couture out of their cut-up wedding outfits, and using Dickinson's net skirt for other purposes. 'I attempted to craft a hair brush out of a few different things, but I would probably say they failed,' she said. 'At one point I was using the heels I was given on the wedding day as a mortar and pestle to grind up different things — we had to get creative.' For Dickinson, the hardest part of the experience was undoubtedly the isolation, and the fact she was sharing her experience with a total stranger — if you've seen her explosive promo trailer, you'll know it's not smooth-sailing ahead for the couple. 'We were totally isolated and I think that was the hardest thing for me — not being able to confide in family and friends,' she said. 'And you can't run background checks on anyone via social media. 'You have got to take things at face value, because these days when you date you just Google them, right? 'Well, I obviously didn't with my pathological liar, but now I know that trick!' MILF Manor (2023): Sounding suspiciously like the fictional format mentioned on Tina Fey's 30 Rock, this show premiered for real in 2023, and saw eight mums dating each other's sons on a reality dating competition. Yikes! Dating Naked (2014): Exactly what it describes, this long-running series sees people dating…in the buff! It's surprising how quickly you forget they're all totally starkers. Gross and fascinating, all at the same time. Kid Nation (2007) : 40 children aged 8 to 15 were packed off to New Mexico to build a functioning society from scratch. This US reality series went just about as well as you'd expect (it was cancelled after one season). I Wanna Marry 'Harry' (2014): Twelve American women competed for the affection of Prince Harry. Spoiler alert: it wasn't him, but a lookalike named Matthew Hicks. It lasted four eps before being yanked from screens. Playing it Straight (2004): The Aussie version of this show saw 23 year-old Rebecca Olds romanced by 12 male suitors, half of whom were gay. If the gay contestant tricked her into choosing him at the end, he got $200k. Um…what?

Royals mark Prince William's birthday by sharing photo
King Charles and Queen Camilla have marked Prince William's birthday by sharing a photo of the royal on the Royal Family's Instagram and X profiles. The monarch, 76, and wife Camilla, 77, posted the snap of the future king kneeling in a field on Saturday as William turned 43, with the image also shared earlier this year during his visit to farmland owned by the Duchy of Cornwall in Bath. Charles and Camilla captioned the snap, which showed William smiling as he sat on a rock wall: "Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!" The caption was followed by a balloon and confetti emoji to mark the celebration. William has also marked his 43rd birthday with a furry celebration - posing for a new photograph alongside four black cocker spaniel puppies. "It's a very happy birthday," he said in a caption alongside a snap of him with his pets posted on his and wife Catherine's Instagram page. He added: "Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies." The photograph, taken by Catherine, Princess of Wales, 43, earlier this month at Windsor, was shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales' official social media accounts on Friday morning. It showed the Prince of Wales surrounded by the playful pups, who were revealed last month by The Sun to be the offspring of the family's pet spaniel Orla. The photo was posted with a caption featuring the initials of the couple's children - Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six - along with Orla. The new additions to the royal household were born earlier this year, although their names - and the identity of their father - have not yet been revealed. According to The Sun, Orla, who joined the family in 2020, was originally a gift from Catherine's brother James Middleton, 37, a dog breeder who also bred their late dog Lupo and Orla's parents. A source told The Sun at the time: "Mother and babies are doing well." The couple's children are said to have quickly bonded with the puppies. Last year, the Royal Family marked William's birthday by posting a childhood photo of the royal in his father's arms. Catherine also shared a personal image at the time showing William enjoying time on a beach with their children. The birthday celebration comes amid Catherine's ongoing return to public life following her cancer diagnosis. She recently pulled out of her scheduled appearance at Royal Ascot, with Kensington Palace confirming her recovery remains the priority.
