We Talked To Nick Jonas About *THAT* Marky Mark Shoot

We might have also asked him where he'd take us on a date/if he'd take us on a date.

This month, the world took notice of the baby Jonas brother. You couldn't not. Have you seen his Flaunt magazine shoot? If not, you're welcome.

The premise of the photoshoot was to pay homage to a certain Marky Mark circa 1992 when he gloriously only wore his tighty white Calvin Klein briefs - yup, while also giving off a cheeky smile and grabbing his junk.

Anyway, this was all super-conveniently timed for us because it just so happens that Nick Jonas was stopping by in London to do some promo. Oh, go on then, we said. Here, we flirt outrageously with the former Disney-star-turned-man's man and get all the goss of what life's been like post him posing in his pants...

**Your new single Chains is about being in a restrictive relationship. So, what are you really like as a boyfriend? **

Hopefully a good one, I guess you never know really but I think for me it’s all about being honest, transparent and trustworthy. That’s the most important thing.

**So. We have to talk about that Flaunt shoot. What’s the response been like? **

Pretty crazy! I wasn’t expecting it but I’ve tried to not take it too seriously and just have fun with it. Demi Lovato’s response was hilarious [she told Access Hollywood that 'he looks really buff and he looks awesome, but he needs to keep that shit in his pants. I don't want to see that.'] And, Iggy Azalea got in touch with me which was pretty funny. She basically said that all her friends are developing crushes on me! But beyond that, the reaction on Twitter has been interesting. I guess it’s to be expected when you do something like that.

And what made you decide to do it?

A few things. I’d just finished filming this TV show Kingdom where I play an MMA fighter so the physicality of it was really intense and I trained really hard for that so was in good shape. Plus, I’d just signed with Wilhelmina Models and they sort of said, ‘look, there's this shoot which will be a tribute to the Marky Mark pictures from the 90s. What do you think?' And we went down that road, I just did it without any fear and had fun with it and it turned out great.

What did the other Jonas bros think?

I haven’t really spoken to my brothers about it so I don't know...

You're in London. Welcome! What are your favourite things to do?

I used to live here for around 4 months a few years ago on the Strand and then at the Langham Hotel when I was in Les Mis on the West End and my favourite spots were Scalini, an Italian restaurant and also Cigalon. My favourite area of London is Chelsea though, I really like the Chelsea harbour.

**Ah, an honorary Chelsea boy then. Now, where would you take us out on a date?

**I would probably say dinnr and a movie is the best thing. I like to keep it simple. Italian is the most romantic food for sure so I'd either take you to Quality Italian if we were in New York and Osteria Mamma if we were in Los Angeles. We'd then go see a comedy, that's the best place to start things off.

**And, if we were to stay in and you were to cook us dinner, what would you make? **

I wish I could cook! I’m not a very good cook at all. If I could, I'd make some kind of pasta and some salmon or something.

You’ve talked about how you want people to have sex to your music. What’s the ultimate song to listen to in the bedroom?

I think The Weeknd does a good job at that, all his music kind of suits that environment. I couldn’t choose one specific song! That and then Jhene Aiko. Her song The Worst is great.

If your life was a song, what would it be called?

This is Me.

What’s your ultimate break-up song?

Best Of Me by Foo Fighters.

**What advice would you give your 18 year old self?

**Chill out. Enjoy life. Enjoy things. Life is too short to stress about anything.

Do you have any neat party tricks?

I can juggle and I can do one card trick where I have someone pick a card, then they think they've put it back but I've got it in my back pocket. It's not that amazing though...

Sounds impressive enough. What’s your most over-used emoji?

I’m kind of a classic normal smiley face person but I think the tongue out one is probably my favourite one.

What do you order at a bar?

I’m a gin guy but I don't like gin and tonics. I'd go for a gin, club soda, lime and a splash of pineapple juice.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

There’s a show in the US called Game of Crowns and it’s about older women entering beauty pageants and it’s very funny - a guilty pleasure for sure.

What’s the funniest pick up line anyone's ever delivered to you?

'Are those moon pants because your ass is out of this world?" I just said "These are not moon pants. These are normal pants.'

And what nice pants they are, Nick.

Nick Jonas’ new single, Chains, is out on January 5. His self-titled album is available for pre-order on November 11.
