I DON'T want it that way! Shirtless Backstreet Boy Nick Carter hits the beach... but doesn't look happy as fans gather for snaps
Nick Carter took advantage of a break in the Backstreet Boys’ current touring schedule by hitting the beach on Monday afternoon – but seemed less than enthused with the small gathering of fans his presence inevitably generated.
The 35-year-old, currently in Brazilian coastal city Rio de Janeiro for two shows with his reformed band, embraced his beach-front surroundings by peeling off his shirt and settling down on the sand.
Accompanied by three bodyguards, Nick generated plenty of attention as he stretched out, but was clearly troubled by the presence of half a dozen onlookers – all of whom appeared keen to take snaps of the shirtless star.

Posting on Twitter and Instagram, the American singer shared a snap with his 532,000 followers – many of them ardent Backstreet Boys fans – in which he offers the camera a seemingly joyless smile while tanning himself in front of a predominantly female gathering.
Captioning the shot, he wrote: ‘Trying to tan in Rio but… There they are. #fans #rio #backstreetboysbrazil.’
Nick seemed preoccupied with his phone during the brief outing – no doubt keen to take further snaps of the breath-taking coastline before retiring to his hotel ahead of the group’s first Rio show at Citibank Hall in Barra da Tijuca on Monday evening.

The boyband will return to Rio for a second show on Thursday as their In A World Like This tour works its way through Brazil, with further shows scheduled in Sáo Paulo, Porto Alegre and Belo Horizonte throughout June.
Their tour will conclude in Monterrey, Mexico on June 28.
In January the group's documentary, Backstreet Boys: Show 'Em What You're Made Of, premiered in US cinemas.

The film focuses on the rise of the band from their humble beginnings in the early nineties to becoming the world's best selling boy band of all time, selling more than 130 million albums worldwide.
It also documents their eventual fall from the top and band-member Kevin Richardson's departure and return to the group, before hitting the studio together to record the new album and embarking on the current world tour.
