Paul W. Downs strips down to tight white undies in new photo shoot

Nicholas Galitzine may ooze machismo in his upcoming role as the muscle-bound action hero He-Man in Masters of the Universe, but the actor himself thinks the masculinity-obsessed “looksmaxxers” are ridiculous.

In a new interview with Men’s Health to promote the release of the movie on June 5, Galitzine opened up about the strict diet he had to follow to bulk up for the role, why the gender binary doesn’t make sense, and his thoughts on “looksmaxxing,” an internet subculture devoted to going to extreme length to maximize their attractiveness, made popular among young men by controversial influencers like Clavicular.
