Nick Jonas Opens Up About Being Taken Seriously & Shedding the Disney Image

Nick Jonas is speaking out about shedding that Disney image and stereotype.

In a new interview with British GQ, the 28-year-old entertainer opened up on being taken seriously after being a Disney Channel star and the Jonas Brothers being labeled a boy band.

See what he said inside…

“Yeah, I think [it has taken time]. That’s just naturally come with age and with continuing to evolve and grow. Lots of factors have helped that. And you look at that graduating class of our Disney days [Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato all came from that era] and everyone’s continuing to do pretty well. I don’t think working with [Disney] has the stigma that it did in our day, thankfully,” Nick said.

“I think it’s wonderful what’s happening with [Disney+ star] Olivia Rodrigo and others who have been launched on programmes that are targeted towards teenagers but are still being taken seriously,” he continued. “I think one of the biggest misconceptions about [The Jonas Brothers] in the early days was that first of all it was manufactured, which is just impossible because, well, we’re brothers. The second was that the music we released as The Jonas Brothers was manufactured in some ways. It truly wasn’t.”

He also opened up about being labeled a “sex symbol.” See what he said over on JustJared.com
