It’s a brave new era in which actors and entertainers bravely come outish; sticking a toe out of the closet for kicks and easy publicity.

James Franco has boldly admitted he’s “a little gay.” (Or “a little annoying,” depending on your publication.) Musician Olly Murs gets more specific and says he’s “20 percent gay.” And now, Nick Jonas has come forward to coyly confide to Britain’s The Sun that he “technically” can’t say he’s never hooked up with a man.

Nick-Jonas-shared-shirtless-picture-caption-I-never-do“Technically,” that’s what he didn’t not not say:

The star’s sexuality has been a hot topic after he revealed he had filmed a gay sex scene for his role in Kingdom, the US martial arts drama series.

But he assured me his only sexual experience with a man was in front of the cameras. He said:

“On Kingdom I have a sex scene with a guy. It is always this thing have I, has Nick? No. But it’s my lips, it’s my hands, it’s my body, even if I’m playing a character. So technically I have done that, so I wouldn’t say I haven’t, because that would be lying. But as me, Nick, I am very open about who I am and that I have nothing to prove. I know what I am, I’ve been honest about that.”

While we’re having a hard time getting past the Yoda-esque mantra “It is always this have I, has Nick?,” we’re also making ourselves dizzy trying to parse out his steamy slew of double negatives into a straightforward and cohesive statement.

Correct us if we’re wrong, but it appears that “technically” he can’t say he’s never gotten sexy with men–because he’s had sex scenes with men, and touched those men with his real hands.

Does this mean actors should now be held accountable for the acts of their characters? This opens up a frightening new world for actors.

After all, if we apply this logic to, say, character actor Robert Englund, he’s responsible for the death of hundreds:

Fairuza Balk possesses frightening occult powers and should be hanged or drowned or whatever:

Neil Patrick Harris is dead.
