Were you popular
with the girls at school?
The girls didn't
fancy me. I wasn't popular like the guys who did sports. I dreamt of having
a pretty girlfriend and I had a crush on a few girls, but they were only
interested in the cool guys!
Who was the
first girl you kissed?
She was called
Bryn and we were in the school play together. We were both about 8 years
old.
Ok, discuss
an embarrassing dating disaster
I met a girl
in church who I ended up really liking. One day I waited for her after
school as a surprise. When I turned up she was holding hands with a guy
and I cried all the way home.
Is being dumped
worse than having to dump someone?
Being dumped
is horrible. If you really like a girl and she goes, then that's the worst
So where would
you go on the perfect date?
To the beach
at night. There would be a full moon with a bunch of stars out. The ocen
would be calm with the moon light shining off the water. And the sand would
be pure, white, beautiful and soft
Are you a big
softie when it comes to girls?
Yep, I guess
you could say that! My mum taught me to treat people right. I think I'm
really considerate
How sexy do
you think you are?
I can see photos
of myself and think wow, that looks good or oh no, I look terrible! It
depends.
On what, exactly?
Well, pictures
can make you look better than you are. Like if you have a zit, they can
cover it up, ha-ha!
What do you
think is the best part of your body?
I guess it's
probably my hair because of the colour
Do you ever
get fed up with being 'the cute one' in the band?
No way! I love
the attention!
What's it really
like being adored by millions?
It feels weird
that girls put me up on a pedestal and I can't figure out why they like
me the way they do!
Does that side
of fame ever scare you?
I remember
running into a hotel with this girl literally hanging from my neck. She
had me in a half-nelson Randy, our bodyguard, prised her off me. Looking
back it was quite funny, but at the time it was scary!
So would you
ever date a fan?
Yes and no.
Sometimes you run into a fan who's really cool, but mostly you meet people
who are in the business. I dated a fan a long time ago but that was in
the beginning.
Is it hard
to have girlfriends when you're on the road so much?
It's a big
responsibility. You know, always having to call - especially when you're
trying to concentrate on the group and the music. Relationships are beautiful,
but sometimes they cause a lot of stress.
So then, Nick,
what would your perfect woman be like?
My ideal girl
is not some gorgeous pin-up model. First I look for a girl who has a good
heart before I care how they look. And she'd definitely have to be understanding
as well.
So you're not
interested in her looks at all?
I'm not just
trying to be nice and diplomatic. I do know what is more important. The
only thing tha matters is what's on the inside and I strongly believe you
should never judge people just by how they look.
Does your mum's
approval about your relationships matter to you?
I trust my
family's opinions on how they feel about certain people. If I met someone
I really liked, but they said they thought she wasn't right, I would listen
to them.
Do you think
one day you'll give your mum some grandkids?
Definitely,
but not for ages. Backstreet is the priority right now. There's so much
we still want to do
But do you
reckon you'll be the last BSB to get married?
I'm the youngest
but it doesn't mean I'll be last! You never know, I might meet someone
gorgeous tomorrow, fall madly in love and elope!
