American Idol contestant Tim Urban may have stripped for a talent competition last July, but the Jonas Brother lookalike has insisted that he won’t be doing the same in this year’s Idol.

Last summer Urban entered a competition organised by Actors, Models & Talent for Christ (or AMTC) and as part of the contest he had to sing, model and act. One round even required him to walk down a runway in just his swimsuit! Vote For The Worst website then used the pictures of this event as part of their ‘evil plan,’ to get him more votes and propel him further in his Idol run.

Speaking about the competition, Urban told MTV:

“I was involved in a competition — it was for acting, modeling and singing,” Urban explained. “One of the competitions was a swimsuit competition. And, obviously, I entered a swimsuit competition and obviously there are photos from that. And they’ve definitely gotten out there.”

Organiser Carey Arban emailed MTV singing Urban’s praises. He wrote:

“Tim was a standout at AMTC … Modeling may not have been his No.1 focus, but Tim certainly did well and got attention from modeling agents [in both Dallas and New York City]. He did not follow up on his AMTC callbacks immediately because he was just beginning the audition process for ['Idol'] at that time.”

However, hormonal fans shouldn’t get their hopes up about seeing Tim shirtless any time soon. Urban insists that he won’t be following in Casey James footsteps. He laughed:

“I will not be performing shirtless at any point in the competition. I’m sorry,” adding, “I had to make this decision. It took a lot of time; it was tough but I’ve decided I can’t do that.”
