Nicholas Galitzine has expressed how he feels about stepping into one of the most recognizable heroes of all time, He-Man in the Masters of the Universe.

Directed by Travis Knight, the much-anticipated Mattel movie feature Nicholas as the most powerful man in the universe.

Recently, the Idea of Star appeared for the premiere of his film, where he interacted with the press and shared his feelings of portraying He-Man.

Galitzine defined it as surreal, while admitting that it was pure “pinch me” moment for him when he was first offered the role.

He told Entertainment Tonight, “It is surreal. I was just telling. The guys, I remember coming out here exactly where we’re standing as a 20-year-old you know when I’d come out here for pilot season and I’d stay here for three months and sleep on people’s couches.”

The 31-year-old continued, “I thought If I could ever have a movie here that would be pretty amazing and so it’s very pinch me. But I’m trying to sort of soak it all in.”

The upcoming action sci-fi movie features Nicholas along with Idris Elba, Jared Leto, Camila Mendes and Alison Brie.

Masters of the Universe is slated to release globally on June 5.
