Did you know?


1. Nick is afraid of the dark. But he also says "...sometimes, if I don't think about the room being dark and Martians in the closet, I can go to sleep real easy. But I'll never hang my feet off the end of the bed- I'm afraid little gremlins will bite my toes! Really!"

2. His favorite Nintendo games are 'Alien Trilogy' and 'Mortal Combat Trilogy', and he takes them with him when he's on tour.

3. Nick has an 'innie' belly button.

4. Nick's parents own a 13 room mansion in Florida.

5. He listens to all kinds of music; country, heavy metal, grunge, pop, R&B, hip hop and rap!

6. Once, the other Backstreet Boys threw him out of a dressing room with his under-drawers (pants) on in front of a whole bunch of girls. He got really mad, but the guys thought it was pretty funny!

7. One of the worst moments Nick has ever experienced was the death of his dog, Booboo, in the summer of '94. "I went out for the day on the boat with my family. We decided to leave Booboo at home because we would be back in a couple of hours. But Booboo escaped from the garden and tried to catch up with us when we were setting off to sea. He jumped in the water and got caught up in the propeller. He drowned. It was really sad."

8. Nick brings photos of his animals, house, family and friends while he's away on tour.

9. The guys film their fans on a video camera to show the enthusiasm to their parents. Nick says, "Before showing the film to our parents, we cut out the bits where girls throw condoms and underwear at us on stage." However, the hysteria around them is nothing new to Nick's parents, who have already been on tour with him.

10. Nick has never been in love and hasn't done 'it'.

11. Nick's first kiss was with a girl called Bryn, whom he went out with for about a year. She was in the same musical as him.
