Now, more than a decade later, Nick—who went on to marry Priyanka Chopra in 2018—shared the advice he would give his and his siblings’ younger selves if he could.
“I would tell them just to take a little pressure off,” he explained. “I think we came up in a time—our work with Disney—and obviously, demographics of that being primarily a younger audience, teens, so there’s this real pressure to be a role model, to be an example. I think back when we would’ve said, ‘Oh, we love that. We don’t mind the pressure. We’re trying to be good guys.'”
He continued, “I think as a 33-year-old, talking to my 13-year-old self, I’d say, “Hey, don’t try to carry the world on your shoulders. If you just need to be a kid growing up, going through experiences, do that.”
