Jonas Brothers: All Grown Up

The Brothers Jonas on their first new album in four years, those pesky gay rumors, and (what else?) twerking
From:  OUT
 Joe Jonas: We have a lot of gay friends and gay fans. It’s a boy band stereotype; people assume, but we don’t take offense.
 Nick Jonas: Prior to us being a band, I was a super theater geek. I loved theater and I still do, and I care about fashion, and I care about a lot of things that I feel like stereotypes are attached to.
 Nick Jonas: Miley’s smart. She’s very smart. We’ve always known that about her. She’ll always be successful. [The VMA performance] was funny — I was laughing.


 ON TWERKING

Joe: Bring it on. I’m a fan. I just think it’s appropriate for the right people. Not everyone can twerk.

Kevin: I’m straight down the middle. The right amount at the right time.
 Joe Jonas: We had planned a big, elaborate video for "First Time," but the song leaked, so we had to think of a way to make a video in a short span of time. Nick was on his way to host the Miss USA pageant in Vegas, so we figured, let’s shoot a video in Vegas and fly in all of our friends. We spent the money we had for the video to throw a party and film it. People assume that we’re still these young kids. It shows us all as adults having a good time and enjoying ourselves.
ON MATURING

Nick: Something we’ve been more comfortable with this go-round, rather than three or four years ago, is being more opinionated.

Joe: You get to this point where you can’t live your life trying to satisfy everybody, personally or as a musician. Somebody’s going to find something negative. So we were like, Let’s just be who we are and have opinions — whether it’s on politics or music — and really show who we are as people.
