On the screen, Nicolas Galitzine has pretended to be a british prince, US Navyand himbo soccer who is fatally allergic to pineapple. He now has a new role: Harry Styles, or at least someone who looks like really really similar.

Galitzine stars alongside Anne Hathaway in Amazon’s upcoming romantic comedy The idea of ​​you. It’s about a 40-year-old mother named Solène who accompanies her teenage daughter to Coachella. Instead of being walked over by TikTok influencers, she meets a boy band heartthrob who’s 20 years her junior. They fall in love and she is forced to ask herself: Is it worth having a love affair that could rejuvenate your life if it means being called a “cougar” from time to time?

The film’s source material is a 2017 book of the same name written by Robinne Lee, who also starred in the Fifty Shades of Grey franchise. In an interview, Lee saying she was inspired to write The idea of ​​you after browsing music videos while her husband was away on business: “I came across the face of a guy I’d never seen in a band I’d never paid attention to, and it was so aesthetically perfect it took me by surprise.” She developed the character of Hayes Campbell, who, like Styles, is in a five-person boy band. He loves a hot older woman. And his names even have the same first letter.

Although Galitzine’s Campbell looks and sounds like Styles (they have the same arm tattoos and some of the former One Direction star’s songwriters worked on the soundtrack), Lee has played coy when pressed on the subject. “Inspired is a strong word,” he said. said Fashion. Okay, but how about Larry stylinson On the big screen next?
