Nick Jonas Had To 'Fight' For 'Kingdom' Role

Nick Jonas reaches out into the crowd while performing “Jealous” on Vh1′s Big Morning Buzz Live in New York City on Friday morning (November 7).

The 22-year-old singer/musician spoke to host Nick Lachey about his upcoming gigs and working on his new show, Kingdom.

“I had to fight really hard for the role. Coming from where I’m coming from, trying to make a transition in my career and push myself in a big way, he shared.

Nick continued, “It wasn’t just given to me, I went in and worked hard to get it and went through a bit of a physical transformation for it as well and we really did train as fighters. The whole experience has been incredible. We’re 5 episodes in now and got picked up for two more seasons.”
