Before his rise to heartthrob status, Galitzine was an ordinary boy — who actually had his sights set on a career in sports instead of acting — who "really fancied" a girl who was going to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

However, in pursuing the mystery girl, Nicholas Galitzine ended up with a potential acting career. "I did [the festival] so I could go chase this girl. And I came back with this acting agency," Galitzine said.
