Nicholas Galitzine's thighs steal the show in first He-Man photo
Nicholas Galitzine just got loincloths damp everywhere with a peek at his He-Man debut.
The Red, White & Royal Blue heartthrob just wrapped filming on Masters of the Universe, Amazon MGM Studio's long-anticipated live-action reboot of the iconic '80s franchise produced by Mattel Films and Escape Artists.
To mark the moment, Galitzine posted a moody, backlit photo on Instagram, showcasing the essentials: a sword, gauntlets, boots, and the signature loincloth. Or, you know, all the parts that matter.
'Well, that's a wrap on Masters of the Universe,' he wrote in the caption. '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.'

Galitzine's transformation into the 'most powerful man in the universe' didn't come easily. Back in January, he told W Magazine that prepping for the role meant radically changing his lifestyle. '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.'
The new Masters film, directed by Bumblebee's Travis Knight and written by ParaNorman's Chris Butler, promises a visually rich, high-energy adaptation that leans into both nostalgia and modern blockbuster flair. Galitzine stars as Prince Adam, who transforms into the mighty He-Man to protect his home planet, Eternia, from the evil Skeletor, played by Jared Leto. The cast also includes Camila Mendes as Teela, Alison Brie as Evil-Lyn, Idris Elba as Man-at-Arms, and Morena Baccarin as the Sorceress.
Though the project has been in development limbo for years (and passed through multiple studios and He-Men, including Noah Centineo and Kyle Allen), Mattel's post-Barbie momentum seems to have finally brought it across the finish line.
Masters of the Universe is slated for theatrical release on June 5, 2026, followed by streaming on Prime Video. There's no official trailer yet, but if this single shot of Galitzine with a sword and a smirk is any indication, the summer of 2026 is already too hot to handle.

Woman Returns to Dog Left Home Alone—What She Finds Leaves Her Sobbing
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A 5-month-old puppy with a case of separation anxiety left an owner sobbing in horror with what she discovered after returning home. Shanna White, also known on TikTok as @theregoshan1, has a red-nosed pit bull and German shepherd mix puppy named Ja'Dioree Scarlett, whom she's owned since the dog was only 5 weeks old. Ja'Dioree Scarlett, like many dogs, experiences separation anxiety when alone. Dogs with separation anxiety become extremely stressed and anxious, often causing them to become destructive. However, White said her puppy has never shown signs of being stressed while home alone. Ja'Dioree Scarlett never ruined the house. But White recently came home to a surprising scene after being gone for about an hour. She returned home to discover seemingly every last inch of the place destroyed. The blinds were chewed off. Items were thrown around. Pee on the bed. It became a headache for White after she was already under a lot of stress. She said this situation made it "worse." In her June 17 TikTok video, White walked around her home revealing more and more damage. She wrote in the caption that her pup "ate" her home. She cried in disbelief, wondering what had happened to her house after leaving it pristine and her pup calmly relaxing. "I know she has separation anxiety, but I didn't know she was that smart to open my room door," White said. "The only thing going through my mind was my house and how would I pay for all of it." Screenshots from a June 17 TikTok video of a 5-month-old pit bull and German shepherd mix puppy innocently behaving while owner was home. Screenshots from a June 17 TikTok video of a 5-month-old pit bull and German shepherd mix puppy innocently behaving while owner was home. @theregoshan1/TikTok Within three days of posting, the TikTok video reached over 1.2 million views and 105,000 likes. Viewers were left speechless over this dog's "field day." "She had a funky good time," wrote one person. Another added: "Peeing on my bed would've sent me over the edge." However, several users flooded the comment section with their concerns about this pup's behavior. They ridiculed the owner: "I blame you cause why you left that toddler out." Pet parents are often divided on whether or not to crate train. Proponents argue crates provide dogs a safe space to go when they're feeling stressed, scared or tired. It keeps them out of trouble. But others will say it creates unwanted emotional stress, especially when left for extended periods of time. Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share?
