Nicholas Galitzine, 29, reveals what he REALLY thinks about his new status as ... trends now
Nicholas Galitzine has fast become a Hollywood heartthrob thanks to his steamy new role as an A-list pop superstar alongside Anne Hathaway in The Idea of You.
But he was recently bestowed with a new title - 'babygirl' - which left him somewhat dumbfounded.
The Gen Z term, which has also been used to describe fellow actors Timothee Chalamet and Jacob Elordi, means: 'A man with energy that's vulnerable, in tune with his emotions and somewhat softer.'
