Nora: Hailee Steinfeld
The data nerd after my own heart, Nora is the final third of the White House Trio. She’s analytical and perceptive, and she maintains deep loyalty to her best friends, Alex and June.
In my brain, Nora was a Hailee Steinfeld type. She comes across as fun, sweet, competent and unconcerned with what others think of her. No wonder she became headcanon for me whenever Nora came up in the story!
There are tons of other unique and memorable characters in this book, so I could play the “who would I cast?” game for days. And while I have faith in my vision for what Red, White and Royal Blue would look like if real-world folks were acting it out, there are so many ways to imagine this story.
If you have real-world actors who you think would be the perfect fit for the roles in this book, tweet @onfrolic to let us know! There’s enough room for plenty of creative interpretations!
And if you haven’t yet, may I suggest checking out Red, White and Royal Blue? It quickly made its way to the top of my “faves of 2019 so far” list, and it provides a thoughtfully constructed HEA for the times we live in!

I think Alex should be played by Alexander Christof Grimaldi. He’d be perfect.
I think Henry should be played by timothee chalemette cause he is tall and fits perfectly for the role and for the role of Alex the person should be short in height and a little dark,that's my opinion.
I think Alex should be played by Diego Tinoco. He's way better and fits the description of the book. Noah Centineo is to tall for the books description. Diego Tinoco would be perfect.
I'm late to the game here, but I did a Google search for "Who should star in Red, White & Royal Blue" and came across this post. My jaw dropped because as I was reading the book, Noah Centineo was exactly who was in my head as Alex. He is really tall though. I'm thinking maybe Tyler Posey, whose Mlmom is Mexican and dad is American and he does not identify as straight. I think Joe Alwyn would make a beautiful Henry, but I agree that finding diverse actors would be great.
Omar Rudberg and Edvin Ryding should be casted. They're both open to different genre roles and bring a refreshing light to LGBTQ characters.
I searched up noahs ethnicity. Half Italian. And I personally think that Alex should be played by an actor with darker skin that is Mexican like himself. Nora shouldn’t be played by a white actress since she is somewhat mixed. And the actor for Henry is my own opinion a little too old. He’s thirty one. Actors for Henry and Alex could be edvin and Omar in the young royal leeds.
ok, obvi we need someone with a darker complexion for Alex as well as the fitting curly hair and slight darker birthmarks. for this, I unanimously say that we should cast Michael Cimino. he literally played a gay kid in a Mexican family in love, victor. he's perfect and I stand by it.
my personal fave for alex is tyler alvarez. he literally checks all the boxes...
- openly gay
- hispanic
- 24
- 5'8" ("f*** off, 5'9" is average" "love, you and i both know you're rounding up")
and he just gives off kooky, lovable alex energy i literally cannot
