GQ. “I identify as a straight man, but I have been a part of some incredible queer stories,” he said in a story published Wednesday.

The British actor elaborated on his experience starring in LGBTQ+ projects on television.“I felt a sense of uncertainty sometimes about whether I’m taking up someone’s space, and perhaps guilt,” he admitted. “At the same time, I see those characters as not solely their sexuality.”Galitzine also declared that he’s different than the men he portrays on screen.“I am Nick, and I’m not my role,” he said.Galitzine played a gay prince opposite Taylor Zakhar Perez in 2019’s “Red, White & Royal Blue,” and a gay duke in 2023’s “Mary & George,” where Julianne Moore starred as his on-screen mom.

While doing press for the latter role last July, Galitzine explained that there’s “a plethora of reasons” why he agrees to play queer characters.“One, 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,” he told Huffington Post UK. “My gay friends were like wow, to have something cheesy and broad and wholesome is like really, really important, and I think the resonance of that means a lot to me.”Galitzine added, “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.

I’m very interested in identity.”Despite being a rising star in Hollywood, Galitzine hasn’t had the easiest time in his love life.

Music song performer show Gay audience Booking Frances Ruffelle delivers a captivating high-camp performance in revival of Closer to Heaven – review
We’ve been keen to check out Closer to Heaven for some time, so when this revival was announced at the cosy Turbine Theatre down by Battersea Power Station, we knew we had to be there to check it out. For those unfamiliar, it’s a musical from 2001 with a book by Jonathan Harvey (best known for seminal gay play Beautiful Thing) and original songs by iconic queer pop duo Pet Shop Boys. The show has spawned a spin-off sequel called Musik which we’ve actually already seen – which is a cabaret show focused on one of Closer to Heaven’s protagonists, Billie Trix – so we thought it was high time we caught the original source material.
