    Nick Jonas has admitted that he has to work to make people take him seriously.

    The 22-year-old - who was in a band with his siblings, the Jonas Brothers, for eight years - has admitted that his image as a Disney star has meant he needs to work harder to secure more serious acting roles.


    He told Digital Spy: "I met with my team about, I'd say, nine months ago and said, 'Look, I wanna be the kind of artist that can do music and acting'. Both are a priority for me and both have been for my whole life.

    "I looked for some roles and this part for a TV show called 'Kingdom'

    came up and I had to fight really hard for it."

    He added: "There was a lot of bias towards me; mostly to do with my previous exposure.

    "I think being a Jonas in a lot of ways actually hurt me in getting the role but I got it, thankfully, and pushed myself emotionally and physically. It's been getting a really great reception and I'm just blown away by the reaction to the show."

    Meanwhile, Nick recently admitted that it would be "ideal" to marry girlfriend Olivia Culpo one day.

    He said: "I met her at a Fashion Week party a couple years back. It's been an amazing year and a half now. She's the best."

    When asked if he is considering marrying her, he added: "At some point. It would be ideal [to settle down], but we're still quite young and we're going on a journey."
