Celeb Secrets: Tells us more about your character Jorge on Bunk’d. What’s he like?

Nathan: “Jorge is a really outgoing kid. He has a very expanded imagination and at first, you might think you know what kind of a kid you’re dealing with. When you actually get to know him, he’s a really sweet and cool kid—not counting the fibs. He’s actually maturing a lot more, or getting weirder since that’s his way of understanding that word.”

Celeb Secrets: Can you relate to Jorge in any way?

Nathan: “Apart from both of us being so awesome! I see a lot of the younger me in Jorge— we both have a very expanded imagination. We definitely always have something on our minds and [we] always end up just blurting it out.”

Celeb Secrets: What’s it like being apart of the Disney family and working with stars such as Peyton List and Karan Brar?

Nathan: “It’s really awesome working with the whole cast because I have watched them on TV, and ‘Jessie’ was my favorite Disney show. So when I found out I was working with Peyton, Karan, and Skai, I was really excited. Now, I honestly consider the whole Bunk’d cast a family.”

Celeb Secrets: What can fans expect on upcoming episodes of season 2?

Nathan: “In Season 2 of Bunk’d, you will be seeing a lot of surprises! You will see many exciting things, some funny and some possibly a bit sad, but you have to watch to find out.”

Celeb Secrets: Since the show takes place in a summer camp, what would be one essential that you have to bring to summer camp with you?

Nathan: “Not only will I tell you one thing, but I’ll tell you everything I would take to camp in my backpack! 2 cans of bug spray (just in case one gets emptied), 3 joggers, 5-7 pairs of boxers, 3 shirts, 2 sweatshirts, 2 pairs of shoes, 5 pairs of socks, and 3 decks of cards because I do close-up card tricks.”

Celeb Secrets: What has been your favorite episode to film so far?

Nathan: “My favorite episode to film has got to be ‘Fog’d In’ because I got to play a zombie and all the makeup on my face was so cool. I also got to break a table in half which was so cool!”

Celeb Secrets: When you’re not filming what do you like to do for fun? Do you ever hang out with the Bunk’d cast off set? 

Nathan: “Well, I like to draw a lot!! I mostly draw people (who don’t actually exist) because there is hidden life in a drawing especially in a portrait. I also do close-up card and prop magic. I love magic because it makes you feel like something that you think is impossible becomes possible which I love.”

Celeb Secrets: Since we are Celeb Secrets, what a behind the scenes secret from BUNK’D that people would not know when watching the show?

Nathan: “While filming Bunk’d, we would always hide a stuffed woodchuck behind the bushes in some scenes of the show, so make sure to try and find it in some scenes! Hint: it usually appears in the lawn, our cabins and mess hall where the lake is in view!”
