The endlessly handsome rising star opens up about the physical grind behind ‘Masters of the Universe.’
Oh that’s right, 80s babies — He‑Man is officially back, and he’s being brought to life by endlessly handsome hottie and one of young Hollywood’s brightest rising stars, Nicholas Galitzine.
The actor hit the stage at Amazon MGM’s CinemaCon 2026 presentation in Las Vegas, where he and co‑star Camila Mendes (your beloved Riverdale alum) chatted backstage with CBS ET about stepping into the iconic world of Masters of the Universe.

Nicholas didn’t sugarcoat the process. Transforming into He‑Man required a full‑blown physical metamorphosis, one he openly calls “the hardest thing I’ve done professionally.” From the training to the diet to the sheer discipline of embodying Eternia’s most legendary hero, Galitzine makes it clear: this wasn’t just a role — it was a total life overhaul.
Mendes, meanwhile, brings her signature charm, teasing the intensity of the shoot and the electric chemistry between the cast as they resurrect one of pop culture’s most beloved universes.
