Is romcom star styling himself on 1D’s Harry?

ROMCOM film The Idea Of You — based on the blockbuster book — was greeted with cheers and tears at its premiere last weekend and its trailer has had more than 125million views across social media, making it the most watched of any original streaming movie.

Starring Anne Hathaway and British star Nicholas Galitzine, it tells the story of a 40-year-old single mum who begins an unexpected romance with Hayes Campbell, 24, lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet.

Everyone is seeing echoes of Harry Styles — even though the actors are doing their best to tiptoe away from that one.

The connection is furthered by the fact that 1D’s hit writer Savan Kotecha — who penned What Makes You Beautiful — has provided music for the make-believe band. Five Kotecha songs are being released as part of the movie soundtrack.

Galitzine (pictured above, centre) and four dancers were cast as the boy band and then put in a boot camp, to enable them to pass muster with music supervisor Frankie Pine and choreographer Dani

Vitale. Pine said: ‘I was ultra-impressed with Nick’s work ethic. You could throw anything at him, and he’d bounce into it. “Hey, play guitar! Hey, play piano... I need you to sing.” He was down with anything and everything that would make his character more believable. And he has such a swoony voice!’

Galitzine, 29, may look familiar as he was in the film Red White & Royal Blue, and also in TV mini-series Mary & George, opposite Julianne Moore.

He was raised in Hammersmith, West London, and went to Dulwich College.

The film will stream on Prime Video from May 2.
