-Our next guest
is a talented actor you know from films
such as "Bottoms" and "Red, White & Royal Blue." He stars in "The Idea of You," which streams on Prime Video
on May 2nd. His new show "Mary & George" premieres on Starz
Friday, April 5th. Let's take a look. -You just want to send me
off to France to learn the ways of refinement and then return
to marry some awful rich wife and milk her fat [bleep] dowry. -It's about more than that.
-No, it's not. -I never beat you. -Father has enough times.
Why don't you? -[ Screaming ]
-Mother, don't hurt him. -I won't. -Please welcome to the show
Nicholas Galitzine, everybody. [ Cheers and applause ] ♪♪ ♪♪ Welcome to the show, Nicholas. -Thank you for having me. -This is your first
late-night talk show. So we're very,
very happy to have you. -Thank you so much
for having me. Appreciate it. Oh. Very kind. -It's lovely having you
in New York. You're born and raised in
London, but you live in L.A. How have you been adjusting to a
very different city from London? -Everyone is so beautiful there. It's very intimidating. But I naturally,
like most actors, have spent barely
any time there, mostly filming in Atlanta,
New Orleans, anywhere but L.A. at the moment. But, yeah, love it. -This is a period piece, as we could tell from the clip,
17th-century England. You have Julianne Moore
playing your mother. That must be quite an incredible
thing to be doing as an actor. -She, I think, will have a very
promising career ahead of her. -Yeah, you can tell.
-Yes. -So you can tell
from working with her. You're like, "You got it."
-She's quite green. She's green,
but she's got something. -It would be really funny
if after every take on your first day, you were
like, "You're very good." -"You're good.
You're good." -"You're very good."
-Just give her a note, you know? -Yeah. -No, I mean, it was wonderful. I mean, you truly understand why someone has worked
over 40 years in the industry when you work with someone
like Julianne Moore. -This is a, as we said,
period piece. So, you know, obviously you're
wearing very beautiful clothes and it's very nice wardrobe. But yet multiple times
I saw you with your face down in the mud
in this show. -Yes. Yeah. My character and myself,
actually, got in the wars on the show. I fractured my ankle. -Really?
-Yeah. -A lot of times when you think
that you're going to do sort of one of these,
you know, period dramas, you'd think the last thing
that'll happen is you'll break an ankle.
-No. I actually broke
my ankle in heels. So for all you heel wearers
in the audience, I have a lot of respect. Doing a ridiculous stunt that didn't even make it
in the show. -Really?
-Yeah. -You broke an ankle,
and they cut it out? -It was like I did
the initial stunt, and I was just running
out of shot, and I slipped
and fractured my ankle. -So it wasn't even on-camera?
-No. -God.
-It's so depressing. -Yeah. You know what? Julianne Moore called me
and told me. She said it was so funny.
-Oh, yeah. She always finds
my pain very funny. She's kind of cruel-hearted
like that, but, yeah. -You're also in
"The Idea of You" with our dear friend
Anne Hathaway. This is a --
I haven't seen it yet. It's getting wonderful reviews and obviously
completely different in tone than the other show. Is it nice to be doing
two things at the same time, being out talking about
two different pieces of work that are being well-received? -Yeah, I mean, completely. And I think, you know, it just touches
a completely different audience. I think it's a very important
movie right now. I know a lot of women
turning 40. Annie turned 40
on our production, as well. I think it's been very important
for a lot of people, too, so... -You play a member
of a boy band, of a fictional band
called August Moon. -Yeah.
-You guys meet -- You and her character
meet at Coachella. Have you ever been to Coachella?
-No. -You live in L.A. now.
-Yes. -Would you maybe
go to Coachella? -No.
-Really? What part of it
doesn't appeal to you? 'Cause my brother
goes every year, and it does not
appeal to me, either. -The idea of just
being dehydrated in the middle of the desert
with a bunch of sweaty people. -Yeah, we're on
the same wavelength, my friend. -Yeah.
-'Cause you know what? All the songs they play
at Coachella -- got them on my phone. -What's the difference? -Yeah.
-What is the difference? I mean, who cares about Beyoncé
or Taylor Swift? -Oh.
-Please don't come for me. I love Taylor Swift.
I love Beyoncé. -I was wondering how long you'd
hold that before you panicked. -Total panic.
-While you were saying it, I was, like, rolling
out of the shot. -Ooh. -[ Laughs ] Now, I will say, it could be -- Here's my one pitch, though.
-Yeah. -I think you should
go to Coachella. I think you should wear
a T-shirt of your fake band from the movie
"The Idea of You." 'Cause I think
either people will see it and think it's super cool
or they'll see it and think it's super sad
that you think it's cool. And you know I would do that 'cause you've heard that I'm
a massive narcissist, as well. -I have.
Everybody said it. -Everyone said it backstage. -And even people that, like,
didn't know beforehand, they were like, "I met him
backstage, and you can tell." -Immediately palpable.
Immediately palpable. -The way Julianne Moore
is a good actor, they said, "You really got it
being a narcissist." -You do, yeah.
I suck, yeah. -Well, you have a lot
to be proud of right now. And I say that
in all authenticity. Congratulations on both things. And it's so nice
to have you here, man. What a delight meeting you,
Nicholas. -Thank you so much.
I appreciate that. Nicholas Galitzine, everyone. "Mary & George" premieres on
April 5th at 9:00 p.m. on Starz, and "The Idea of You" premieres
May 2nd over at Prime Video. Stick around. We'll be right
back with Greg Davies and Alex Horne.
