In a July 2019 interview with Wonderland magazine, Galitzine admitted that acting wasn't exactly the path he originally envisioned for himself. In fact, the native Londoner was much more into sports at first! A major shoulder injury put the kibosh on his football and rugby days, and a simple crush led him to performing on stage.
"There was a girl who was going up to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival who I really fancied," he admitted. "I did [the festival] so I could go chase this girl. And I came back with this acting agency." From there, he made his film debut in 2014, and the rest is history!
