Jonas, 22, wont reveal too much for fear of creator Murphy’s wrath (“He watches everything we do” to ensure no leaks, said the actor) but confirmed that his character in definitely worth watching. “[My character] touches on the prick side. It’s very fun to play,” Jonas told HuffPost Live in an interview Thursday, June 11. “Ryan is a visionary and I’ve known Emma for a long time. It’s an exciting new journey.”

Nick Jonas says his character on Ryan Murphy’s Scream Queens is a “prick,” but fun to play.

“I usually make pretty healthy choices,” Jonas told a HuffPost Live fan who was curious about his cheat meal. “There are some pizzas and donuts that slip through the cracks, but I have to be smart about it because of my diabetes. It’s easier in that way [not to indulge]. I’m not a huge junk food fan, but occasionally I’ll get some salt and vinegar chips, and that’ll do it.”

But don’t clear out your pantry and box up snacks for the singer! “Don’t get me chips, anybody. What happens when I say things is that when people meet me, fans are like ‘Here’s a bucket of chips.’ I can’t eat them!”
