"It's really difficult for pop stars": Nicholas Galitzine talks about relationship problems faced by actors and singers 

Nicholas Galitzine will soon appear in The Idea of You as Hayes Campbell and will star in the film alongside Anne Hathaway. His character, who is a member of the boy band August Moon in his early 20s, will be seen struggling to make genuine connections while touring. However, his life will take a turn when he meets single mom Solene at Coachella.

Galitzine recently spoke to People as he shed light on the challenges that one faces while dating when famous. In the interview, published on April 27, he spoke about some of the struggles his character had to navigate through and stated that pop stars have it more difficult than actors.

"In a lot of ways it's really difficult for pop stars because at least with an actor, you kind of have this buffer with the characters that you play, people know that's not you. Whereas with musicians, a lot of the time your onstage persona can get blended with who you are in private," he said.
