It’s no surprise that Nick Jonas is extremely popular with the gay community; he performs at gay bars and has played gay on TV. In a recent interview with The Sun, Jonas said he won’t deny having had same-sex sex. Jonas, who’s often criticized for “gay baiting”, asserts that thanks to his same-sex love scenes in Direct TV’s Kingdom, he’s been with a man.

β€œOn Kingdom, I have a sex scene with a guy. It is always this thing have I, has Nick? No,” Jonas said. To clarify, Jonas says he’s only been intimate with men in front of the camera.

He added, β€œBut it’s my lips, it’s my hands, it’s my body, even if I’m playing a character. So technically I have done that so I wouldn’t say I haven’t, because that would be lying. But as me, Nick, I am very open about who I am and that I have nothing to prove. I know what I am, I’ve been honest about that.”

The 23-year-old pop star also confirmed that he’s dating Lily Collins, daughter of Phil Collins, which means he’s off the (gay or straight) market.
