Red, White & Royal Blue, the across-the-pond LGBTQ rom-com that had audiences swooning when it hit shelves in 2019 and went on to become a New York Times best-seller.Now, Red, White & Royal Blue has us swooning all over again with the official casting announcement for its film adaptation, with hunky actors Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine stepping into the lead roles.Perez will star as Alex Claremont-Diaz, the charismatic “First Son” of the White House, making the most of his time in the public eye now that his mother is President.
Galitzine steps into the role of U.K. royal Prince Henry, Alex’s longtime rival. Their feud takes an unexpected turn when their families stage a truce between them, and sparks begin to fly.For those unfamiliar with the actors, we went ahead and assembled some Instagram photos that prove why we should all be very, very excited for Red, White & Royal Blue to hit Prime Video streaming some time in the near future.
Just look at the material! A post shared by TAYLOR ZAKHAR PEREZ (@taylorzakharperez)This Chicago-born actor is definitely a name on the rise.
He’s perhaps best known as the handsome Marco Valentin Peña in Netflix rom-coms The Kissing Booth 2 and 3, winning the hearts of viewers everywhere even if (spoiler!) Marco didn’t end up getting the girl.
