Alexander chuckles as memories of getting naked on screen come flooding back. “You used to get naked all the time on the channel,” Jonathan remarks. “Did you do that a lot or was it just one of those things?”
Alexander confesses that they did it quite often, but he enjoyed the empowering feeling that came with it.
