“Look, I can speak about this ‘cause Taylor’s a close friend of mine,” Nicholas said about attractive actors in Hollywood. “But Taylor is like an Adonis. It was difficult in some aspects, being so closely compared to him.”
He continued, listing his perceived flaws, saying that he was once “disgusted in some ways” by his features including “rugby player thighs” and his “big arse.”
On the topic of being valued for his looks, he said, “I think the most important thing to me is that I’m taken seriously as a performer. I’m not gonna ask you to cry me a river here, but it’s been difficult being part of a conversation that feels very much like I am a cut of beef at a meat market”
At the fan event, Nick was asked if Taylor or Tony was a better kisser.
“Well, I mean, Tony has a very thick beard, which I was not used to, but then you have the stubble, which was chaffage,” he mused via Out.
He finally responded, “I’m gonna be similarly impartial to the both of them.”
