Nicholas Galitzine may have seen all his strict dieting and hard work at the gym pay off to transform into He-Man for “Masters of the Universe,” but he didn’t mind when that training came to an end.

“I had to go into a movie three weeks later where the director said, ‘I need you to not look the way you look right now, so eat what you want, stop weightlifting,’” Galitzine told me at the “Masters of the Universe” premiere Monday night at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. “I said, ‘That is music to my ears. I’m not going to do anything for three weeks.’ And I’ll tell you, it’s depressing. It takes so long to put on, [but] it’s so quick to come off.”
