My big brother!

If you thought Nick Carter was cute, check out nine-year-old Aaron! He tells us about life as half of the cutest set of bruvs since those Hansons...

Let's face it, Aaron - boys of your age usually hate girls, so what's it like having thousands of them screaming at you?

It was kinda weird when I supported the Backstreet Boys on their German tour this summer, as we were playing to 30,000 plus audiences, and when I went out on stage the girls were going real mad and screaming and everything. I loved it! Back home a lot of the guys at school have got girlfriends, but I don't have any.

Are Nick's fans the ones who tend to like you as well?

Yeah, I do seem to get a lot of his fans liking me, but there are also a lot who don't like Nick. That's pretty cool, isn't it?

Would you join Backstreet Boys if they asked you?

I'd love to in the future, but I'd like to stick with what I'm doing right now and maybe I'm a little young right now or the guys!

Do you and Nick share a bedroom at home?

Yeah, we do. We get on real well, but we usually fight over who gets to play with the Nintendo. I always win when we play though, and so does Brian. Nick gets so mad when Brian beats him - But Brian's a lot better at it than Nick, ha, ha!

So do the pair of you manage to keep the bedroom tidy, then?

Well, I do. I'm very tidy, but Nick's really messy. We don't even keep half a room each - Nick's stuff is all over the place and I end up picking it all up for him.

Do you ever with you weren't the little brother?

Nah, I like being the younger one, even though Nick picks on me sometimes. You know, he throws me in the pool the whole time when he's home - even when I've got all my clothes on!

What's the best present he's ever bought you?

Actually Nick bought me my favourite thing in the whole world, my motorcycle. Its 80 cc and it's really, really cool. My dad's built me, like, a mile long ramp and I jump it and everything!

What do the girls at school think about Nick?

Well, Backstreet Boys have only just started getting big in the U.S. but already all the girls really love him! I don't really tell anyone at school what I'm doing because they get pretty jealous.

If you could choose, which other Backstreet Boy would you like to have as your brother?

I guess it's be Brian, 'cause he's the one I hang out with the most, but nobody could be a better brother than Nick!

Do you think you'll be more successful than Nick one day?

Probably not. BSBs have been out for a long time now and they're doing really well. I'm just a beginner at the moment...

So can we expect to see any more Carters on stage soon?

My sister, Lesley, is a singer. She's not professional, but she's into it. She's 11.

Would you ever like to do a duet with Nick?

Actually, we've already decided we're going to do one next year. We've picked a song called Loverboy by Billy Ocean to do and I'm really looking forward to it!

Do you miss him when he's away on tour without you?

Oh yeah, so much - we speak on the phone all the time. Even though he's quite a bit older we get on so well - we've got so much in common.

Does he ever give you any pop star advice?

All the time, he really looks out for me. It's like, when I'm just about to go on stage, he'll come up and sit me down all serious and go, "Now don't worry, just imagine there's only two or three people out there and sing to them," It really works - It stops me getting too nervous, He's so good like that, I really couldn't ask for a better brother!
