Masters of the Universe’s Nicholas Galitzine Details Body Transformation

Yes, Nicholas Galitzine has the power. 

But even with the Sword of Grayskull on hand for his role as the iconic superhero He-Man in the June 5 release Masters of the Universe, transforming into the ultra-buff Prince Adam of Eternia, “was an every day a week thing,” the 31-year-old told E! News’ Will Marfuggi at the flick’s May 18 premiere. With mere months between filming the historical fantasy romance 100 Nights of Hero and his turn as a World War II soldier in The Mosquito Bowl, Galitzine added, “It was a pretty short amount of time.” 

In an ideal world, the London native noted, “You kind of would love to live in this character for a year beforehand but the training very much changed as the movie went on.”

And so, to confidently battle Jared Leto‘s Skeltor in the live-action Mattel adaptation, he had to commit to a no-rest-days type of schedule.
