"I plan to not make eye contact with Britney Spears, 5 SOS [5 Seconds of Summer], or Vin Diesel, pretty much the entire front row," Peck tells Us. "There’s a good chance I might completely lose it if I do."

And is he a fan of the "Pretty Girls" songstress?

"Who isn’t! I’m American," the former Nickelodeon star proclaims.

But Peck assured Us that he's not nervous about hosting the annual event.

"I’m just totally excited, and it’s great because it’s sort of the essence of this show is sort of this informal fun, young thing," he says. "I feel like it will embrace sort of my awkward amazingness."

The 2015 Teen Choice Awards air Sunday, Aug. 16, at 8 p.m. ET on Fox.
