HollywoodLife.com talked to Kenny to find out what MTV fans don’t already know. He’s a pretty confident guy with a sense of humor and a sensitive side — sounds like a winner, right? Here’s what every Kenny fan should know.

  1. He’s a superhero fanatic: “I’m Batman’s biggest fan… I’m obsessed with Batman and have a huge collection of Batman figurines.”
  2. He wasn’t always drool-worthy: “Even though I compete in all kinds of grueling athletic challenges on MTV’s Rivals, I was the chubby kid growing up. I definitely had some baby fat to shed before I became ‘Mr. Beautiful.'”
  3. He’s a daredevil with a secret: “I’ve jumped out of planes and scaled mountains on MTV’s The Challenge, but I’m secretly afraid of heights.”
  4. Don’t get near him if he has a BB gun in hand: “When I was younger, I almost shot my eye out with a Red Rider BB Gun.”
  5. He’s sweet and every girl’s dream: “I love cuddling;  I’m not embarrassed to say that I’m a phenomenal cuddler.”
  6. He’s artistic: “My secret talent is doing caricature drawings — so if you’re ever looking for a cartoonist, I’m your guy.”
