It may have been Nicholas Galitzine’s birthday but he was the one handing out gifts – in the form of his latest selfie.
The Mary & George star turned 31 on Monday (29 September) and took to social media to celebrate, sharing a series of snaps from the past year on his Instagram profile. They included behind-the-scenes shots from the set of 100 Nights of Hero as well as a stunt rehearsal for Masters of the Universe.
“Another year of fun, thanks for the birthday love,” he wrote. The comments section was filled with good wishes.
But it was an image the actor shared on his Instagram stories that has attracted a lot of attention from the gay corners of the internet. Wearing loose joggers and a tank top, he showed off his impressive biceps while riding in a lift.
“Even the elevator is swooning. Happy birthday to those arms,” wrote one person on X/Twitter. Another said: “Those arms,” alongside a gif of a woman fainting.
Others proclaimed: “Oh, he’s for the gays,” and “he is going through twink death.”
He was getting tired of the twinks allegations

Galitzine announced a few months ago that shooting for Masters of the Universe, in which he will be seen playing Adam/He-Man, had wrapped. “It’s been the role of a lifetime and I put everything into it,” he wrote on Instagram, alongside a silhouetted image of himself suitably bulked up for the role.
In addition to appearing in 100 Nights of Hero, alongside Emma Corrin and Charli XCX, he has signed for the sequel to Red, White & Royal Blue, and war-time drama The Mosquito Bowl, in which he will play a US marine recruit, is in production.
