Have you ever wondered how the chemistry between the members of August Moon was created for The Idea of You film? Nicholas Galitzine and his bandmates worked hard to develop their connection both onscreen and off. Through a rigorous training camp, they not only learned how to perform together, but also formed real-life friendships that continue even after filming wrapped.
Nicholas Galitzine, who plays Hayes Campbell in the movie, explains how their bond was essential for the success of the film. ‘You see us together as a group and it just kind of makes sense. We love each other as people, and we hang out with each other still, even now the movie’s wrapped. You can’t fake chemistry, and people like seeing a bunch of people performing together and having a really good time.’
The boy-band bootcamp that the actors went through was a pivotal part of their preparation. From Adrian (Jaiden Anthony) to Simon (Vik White), the August Moon members shared their experiences of bonding and growing together. ‘The boot camp was more for me than it was for the boys,’ says Galitzine. ‘But in the end, it brought us closer and helped us create something authentic that the audience could connect with.’
