Nicholas Galitzine & Anne Hathaway to Headline a Rom-Com Inspired by Harry Styles Fanfiction
Nicholas Galitzine is quickly becoming one of the hottest young stars in Hollywood. From starring as Prince Robert in Cinderella to Prince Henry in the beloved Amazon Prime film Red, White & Royal Blue, the actor certainly knows how to capture an audience. His recent film, Bottoms, is no exception. The man has already gone viral for his role as the Quarterback Jeff.
So what is next for Galitzine? He will play a Harry Styles-inspired character in a fanfiction-based movie alongside Anne Hathaway. Yes, you read that correctly. And no, we do not know if we are more jealous of Galitzine or Hathaway.
What is The Idea of You about?
Based on Robinne Lee’s first book from 2017, The Idea of You tells the story of Hayes Campbell (Galitzine), the lead singer of a popular boy band called August Moon. Izzy (played by Ella Rubin) is a huge fan of August Moon and brings her recently divorced mother, Sophie (Hathaway), to see their set at Coachella.
Now, here’s where things get interesting. Sophie and Hayes accidentally meet at the festival and start a secret, passionate love story. Sophie tastes the glamorous pop star life for a little while. But then, their love affair becomes super famous online, and they are forced to face the backlash from Hayes’ fans. The couple must then decide if their relationship is worth all the hardship.
And Galitzine is not the only star making waves right now. Besides Hathaway’s role in The Idea of You, she’s getting ready to drop her LGBTQ+ thriller Eileen this December. And that’s not all—there’s another exciting project in the pipeline, Mother Mary, another pop drama with some LGBTQ+ flavor starring the fabulous Michaela Coel (I May Destroy You).
Will Galitzine be playing Harry Styles?
According to the author, The Idea of You is not directly based on Harry Styles. Lee told Vogue that it, “was never supposed to be a book about Harry Styles.” Instead, she said the book focuses on “a story about a woman approaching 40 and reclaiming her sexuality and rediscovering herself.” However, Lee has admitted that the former One Direction member was on her mind while writing.
“Hayes is very different from Harry Styles. I think people who are aware of Harry and/or want to picture Harry will. And that’s completely fair, as the most successful British boy band of the last ten years is One Direction,” she told Goodreads.
So, it sounds like Galitzine’s Hayes is not totally based on Harry Styles, but there are certainly some similarities. If anything, viewers will get to live out their dream of falling in love with a lead singer when they see the film!
The Idea of You reportedly wrapped filming in 2022 but has not announced a release date. Hopefully, it will be on Prime Video soon.

The World’s Largest LGBTQ+ Sporting Event Comes to Guadalajara, Mexico
Welcome to the Gay Games!
In 2023, Guadalajara – the capital of Jalisco in Mexico – will host the Gay Games, a sporting and cultural event that takes place every four years. All are welcome to participate regardless of nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.
Since 1982, the Gay Games have been bringing people from the community together for a week of collaboration, teamwork, and self-expression. Whether you are a swimmer, dancer, artist, or just an advocate, anyone is welcome to participate in the games.
Previously, the games have been hosted in San Francisco, New York, Paris, Chicago, Amsterdam, and Vancouver, to name a few. This year, the events will be split between Guadalajara and Hong Kong. You can check the website for a complete breakdown of where each event will occur.
Plus, you do NOT need to be an athlete to compete in the games. However, you do have to be at least 18 to participate. And if sports are not your thing, you can still check out the extensive cultural and arts events occurring simultaneously. It’s going to be an event to remember!
Finding a Safe Space in Sports
From its inception, a primary goal of the Gay Games has been to combat the persistent issue of homophobia within the realm of sports, a problem that still plagues our athletic communities today.
The Gay Games stand as a beacon of inclusivity, setting forth progressive principles for mainstream sports to adopt. Their commitment to inclusivity manifests in various ways. Firstly, participation is not limited to individuals within the LGBT+ community; sporting events, ceremonies, and cultural celebrations are open to people of all sexual orientations and gender identities, actively encouraging heterosexual participation. Moreover, the Games have embraced transgender athletes since 1994. Pioneering endeavors such as same-sex competitions like ballroom dancing and figure skating, as well as hosting the inaugural international women’s wrestling competition in 1994, further exemplify their dedication to diversity. Additionally, the Games offer separate senior categories for numerous sporting events, reinforcing their commitment to inclusivity at every level.
