Nick Jonas talks ‘Kingdom’ gay sex scenes: ‘It’s going to go there’

By Will Stroude

The season 1 finale of the US boxing drama might have left our mouths hanging after Nick Jonas’s character Nate Kulina was seen being turned away from a gay bar before receiving oral sex from a man, but Nick’s teased that there’s a lot more to come in season 2.

Appearing at an Outfest Q&A for the show over the weekend (July 12), the Jealous singer promised he was willing to do whatever the script required of him as Nate’s storyline progresses.

Asked if Nate will have full-on gay sex scenes in upcoming episodes, which are currently being filmed, series creator Byron Balasco teased: “A man has needs. It’s a deep internal struggle and it’s very difficult for this character.”

And Jonas added that he had no qualms about it.

“He’s not really okay with what’s happening at the moment… it’s going to go there I’m sure,” the 22 year-old said of Nate’s man-on-man scenes.

“It’s an incredibly important story on all levels – acceptance isn’t the first word in this (fighting) world. I’m willing to go on the journey wherever it takes me… I’m committed.”

Scenes even better than this you say? We’re setting our Sky+ recorder as we speak.

Kingdom was renewed by Direct TV last year for a 20-episode second season, with 10 episodes set to air in the autumn and the remaining 10 to air in 2016.

Meanwhile, we recently had an in-depth chat with Nick himself ahead of the UK release of his self-titled debut album this week (July 17), in which he opened up about his gay fan base and we tried our best to keep it together – click here to read our interview in full.

If you fancy even more more from Nick – and lets face it, of course you do – you can take a behind the scenes look at his hot cover shoot for the December issue of Attitude here, and can also check him out in the buff in his latest film Careful What You Wish For.
