But now, he's prepared to drop the Geordie Shore exterior and be truly vulnerable in his emotional and moving new documentary, Geordie Stories: Nathan and Dad.
Not only does the documentary take a look at Nathan and Glen's relationship as they navigate Glen's diagnosis, but they also return to Glen's birthplace in Jamaica.
"I knew that nothing I said was going to get cut, everything was getting put in," he said in an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com.
"I was like, 'No matter what I'm saying, it has to be the truth, it has to be realistic.' And it was quite nice not having to worry and censor myself and think, 'Oh, I can't talk about that,' because no subject was off-topic in this situation, which is amazing."
"There is no right or wrong way to process it," he explained. "Every single person processes it differently. How I process it, how Gabby did or Ashley processed it, it might not necessarily be the way that people watching this can process things, but it is certainly something that can definitely help."
It's hard not to become emotional hearing Nathan's words in our interview and in the documentary, as he references him needing to be what his younger self wouldn't have had growing up.
This side of Nathan is certainly something audiences may not have seen before, with the Geordie Shore star explaining that this documentary offers "the more realistic version" of him.
For Nathan, it was seeing his dad cry on the first day of filming that made him realise he was going to have to become vulnerable for the documentary to work.
"It was so nice to see where or what could have been my life and where I've come from," he explained. "It's just seeing where he came from and how his life has changed and how he has grown, it just made me so proud of him and so proud of my roots."
"It was important cover all [of those] aspects during the filming we did," he told RadioTimes.com.
He said: "I know my experiences aren't going to be the same as someone else's, but if I can be honest about my experience and that can help other people, then I'm doing my job properly.
Episode one of Geordie Stories: Nathan and Dad launches on the Thursday 3rd July, with a new episode every week on MTV Shores YouTube channel.
