MG Monthly THE PLACE: A posh hotel in London THE PLAN: To get an intimate interview from the shy Backstreet Boy than the usual single, album tour talk - so snog questions are high on MG’s list. THE PROBLEM: It’s 9 O’clock in the morning, and the jet-lagged band have just flown into Britain the night before. THE SCENE: Apparently this is the only time Nick can fit us into the busy BSB schedule, but we don’t mind. In fact, it’s his dad who picks up the phone and tells us Nick is still in bed. We hear him calling out Nick’s name - through a connecting door in the adjoining suite. THE VISION: While we are hanging on, we wonder if Nick is wearing pyjamas, boxers - or if he’s just butt naked. Half asleep when he picks up the phone, Nick probably thinks it’s his early morning wake up call. Or maybe that room service has screwed up with his breakfast order. THE INTERVIEW: Sex is probably the last thing on his mind. But we launch in anyways with some lurrrvve talk. As we start breathing heavily, we can practically feel poor Nick going between the sheets on the other end of the link!! WHEN AND HOW DID YOU FIRST LEARN ABOUT SEX? WAS IT AT SCHOOL OR DID THE BOYS IN THE BAND TELL YOU? No, probably at school. They teach it over there in the States. WAS IT KIND OF WEIRD WHEN YOU FIRST DISCOVERED SEX? No...I mean, I don’t really pay much attention to that...I mean, I pay attention to, you know...but, I mean, it’s not really a big concern to me now. DID YOU EVER GET REALLY EMBARRASSED DURING SEX LESSONS AT SCHOOL? Not really. DID THE CLASS GET EMBARRASSED AND SHOUT THINGS OUT - OR WAS IT THE TEACHER WHO ENDED UP WITH THE HOT FLUSH? Well, I haven’t been to school for years so... DID YOUR DAD EVER TRY AND TELL YOU ABOUT THE BIRDS & THE BEES? No I learned it all from school. WAS YOUR FIRST KISS WEIRD OR WONDERFUL? It was wonderful. WERE YOU SCARED TO SNOG THE GIRL OR COULD YOU NOT WAIT TO DIVE STRAIGHT DOWN THERE? No I was scared!!!! WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR MIND AT THE TIME: MAYBE I’M NOT DOING IT RIGHT? MAYBE SHE DOESN’T LIKE IT? Umm..probably both of those things! DID THAT GIRL SWOON? Did she what?? SWOON... What’s that...ha ha? WHEN A GIRL GOES TO MUSH AND SIGHS ‘NICK I REALLY LOVE YOU!’ OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. No, I mean...I guess she did HOW DID YOU FEEL? DID THE EARTH TREMBLE?? Yeah, it was cool DO THE OTHER GUYS IN THE BAND STILL GIVE YOU ADVICE ABOUT GIRLS? Sometimes I’ll go to Kevin or Howie, but you know we don’t really have that much time right now for girls. ((NICK HASN’T GIVEN US A DECENT BIG QUOTE YET - IT’S BEEN ALL “NO” AND “YES” AND “NOT REALLY”...WE DECIDEDTO PUSH HIM A BIT MORE!!)) IT MUST BE HARD WHEN YOU’VE GOT ALL THOSE RAGING HORMONES PUMPING AWAY INSIDE YOU? I mean...not really. SO YOU DON’T HAVE ANY GIRLFRIENDS AT ALL? I mean back home we date around. DON’T YOU EVER GET LONELY AT NIGHT WHEN YOU’RE IN HOTEL ROOMS? Nah...nah..ha ha! I mean, nah, I get lonely, but not, not to go that far. WE DON’T MEAN SEX OR ANYTHING? Yeah..I know I know. WE JUST MEAN TO HAVE SOMEONE TO HOLD..OR ARE YOU JUST NOT READY FOR THAT, FULL STOP? I don’t think I’m ready for that. DO YOU LIKE A GIRL TO WEAR A CERTAIN STYLE OF CLOTHES OR JUST TO LOOK COOL? They should look themselves, you know, and not try and be something they’re not. IF ANY OF THE OTHER GUYS DIDN’T LIKE YOUR GIRLFRIEND WOULD YOU DUMP HER? Would I dump her? Hmm..like I said, right now I don’t have a girlfriend so I don’t have to worry about that. ((WE’VE HAD 15 MINUTES WITH NICK AND IT’S NOT LOOKING GOOD...AND NOW THINGS GET WORSE BECAUSE HE STARTS GETTING INTO THE SINGLE WORDS ANSWERS LIKE “NOPE”)) IF THE OTHER GUYS HAD GIRLFRIENDS AND YOU FANCIED ONE OF THEM WOULD YOU TRY AND PULL HER BEHIND THEIR BACK? Nope. DO YOU THINK ANY OF THE GUYS WOULD CHEAT ON YOU [WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND]? Nope, I don’t think so. We have respect for each other. WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE KIDS ONE DAY? I’m not really thinking about it, but maybe sometime in the future. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN DRUNK? Nope. DO YOU DRINK AT ALL? Nope. ARE YOU EVER GOING TO TRY? No, I’m not really into it. WHAT’S BEEN YOUR BEST HOLIDAY SO FAR? My best holiday was probably in The Keys - The Florida Keys. I went scuba diving with my father and Grandfather. IT MUST HAVE BEN BEAUTIFUL WITH ALL THOSE TROPICAL FISH ETC AROUND? It was good. WERE YOU LOOKING OUT FOR SHARKS? Of course!! TELL US ABOUT YOUR WORST HOLIDAY NIGHTMARE? I’d probably have to say it was when we went up to Jamestown, New York, where I’m originally from, for a vacation. The motor in our car blew up: a block in our engine cracked and we were stranded! WHEREABOUTS? It was in Tennessee...out in the middle of nowhere! DID YOU HAVE TO WALK MILES FOR THE NEAREST TELEPHONE? Yep, we had to go through all the procedures. WELL THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME NICK. No problem. OH AND ONE LAST QUESTION...NOW THAT YOU’RE AWAKE, WHAT ARE YOU PLANNING TO DO THIS MORNING? Try and go back to sleep.... |
