Asked whether he had any racy man-on-man scenes lined up, Nick told the paper: “Well I’m gay in Kingdom – if you keep watching the series you’ll see more of that.”
The 23-year-old was then pressed on whether he’d anything sexual with another man in real life – and he didn’t exactly issue a denial… “I can’t say if I have or haven’t,” he replied.
Of the gay-baiting claims, he said: “In every situation when there’s an opportunity to be negative some people find the need to be.”
He added: “I love the roles that I’m playing and I’m thrilled to be playing them.”
Asked about a picture of him leaving the gym in body-clinging jogging bottoms that didn’t leave much to the imagination, Nick remained coy.
“I think there was a single picture that did that,” he said. “I think it was enhanced anyway afterwards.
“Maybe, I don’t know.”
