Joe Jonas tried out to play a love interest opposite Jennifer Aniston on The Morning Show.
On the Tuesday, May 26 episode of the new Hey Jonas! podcast, Joe, 36, shared a story for the first time about his botched audition for the hit Apple TV drama series.
"I'll tell you a story about being early that was a ruiner for me. It was an audition," Joe said. "It was The Morning Show. It was my callback, and it was to play like a young anchor that they have in the show."
Nick Jonas then jumped in to say the role was "a love interest for Jennifer Aniston," while Kevin quipped, "I think it was the kind of, like, very handsome, talented-looking male, you know, like very right-wingy, podcast host guy." (A conservative podcaster named Bro Hartman appeared in season 4 and had a brief unexpected romance with Aniston's Alex Levy. He was played by Boyd Holbrook.)
"Long story short, I show up early," Joe continued. "They're auditioning a lot of very handsome young gentlemen, and they were like, 'Oh, we have a private room for you.' So I was like, 'Lovely.' So they put me in this private room, and then this is the saddest room you can imagine."
"It was just these little blinds, all the lights were off, and they didn't work, and I could hear clear as day all the guys auditioning," Joe remembered. "They're like, 'We just have two guys before you,' and these guys were crushing it."
The singer said he "didn't bring headphones, so I'm just literally sitting in silence, reading the lines" before it was his turn. And then: "I just crash and burn."
The audition was "so bad," he admitted. "I did the terrible thing. They're like, 'Oh, you can use the — you can read off paper for this, if you want.' I'm like, 'I got it.' I'm like, 'I'm good.' And it was literally like, I don't even know what I'm auditioning for."
All of the lines were "just gone from me" as soon as he stepped into the room. "It was such a bad audition."
Joe's most recent acting credits are last year's A Very Jonas Christmas Movieand 2022's Devotion. This summer, he'll reprise Shane Gray in the highly anticipated Camp Rock 3, alongside both of his brothers. Demi Lovato is also set to return for the third movie as an executive producer.
Jennifer Aniston and Friends Show Off Stunning Summer Styles
These days, when people say something is basic, they don’t always mean it in a flattering way. But when it comes to wardrobe staples, basic is anything but boring. Just look at the ways Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Garner, and Joanna Gaines have been wearing them.
All three stars recently wore mix-and-match pieces that are the foundation of any great capsule wardrobe. Aniston paired vintage-wash jeans with a fitted black tank for a sleek, casual look, and Garner dressed up light-wash jeans with a luxe-looking, short-sleeve polo shirt. As for Gaines, she went monochromatic in black jeans and a loose-fitting tank.
If you’re also now inspired to upgrade your own staples, keep scrolling for lookalike Quince clothing pieces starting at $16.
Jennifer Aniston’s Minimalist Masterclass
Aniston’s minimalist tank top and jeans combo is a go-to for her, and we can see why. To recreate her effortless ensemble, we found this Quince tank top with a modest scoop neck, fitted silhouette, and thick straps. It’s made of breathable cotton that’s lightweight enough for summer but can also be layered in the fall and winter. Team it with this pair of jeans, which has a vintage-inspired wash similar to the actress’s. The wide-leg style makes them a comfortable choice whether you’re running errands or heading to lunch.
Jennifer Garner’s Polished Polo
If your style favors classic silhouettes, Jennifer Garner’s sunset look belongs in your closet. Her timeless polo shirt looks nearly identical to this Quince one, which is made of soft, luxe cashmere. It has ribbed, fitted arms, a mid-sized collar, and an adjustable button-front neckline. Shoppers say it’s “lightweight enough for warm weather,” with one noting they “didn’t feel hot at all” wearing it on a 90-degree day. When it comes to her jeans, this lightwash pair is a great option with its subtle heathering at the hips and traditional five-pocket design. The barrel silhouette isn’t overwhelming, and reviewers call them “comfortable in all the right places.”
Joanna Gaines’ Black Basics
Basics are timeless, but that doesn’t mean they can’t also feel modern. Gaines’ monochromatic look proves that. Like this Quince top, her tank has a breezier fit with a subtle curve along the arms, and yes, while it looks good on its own, it’s also great for styling under linen button downs in summer and cardigans come fall. Our personal favorite piece of her look, though, is the sleek, flared jeans. Achieve the same style with Quince’s Luna pair, which mirrors Gaines’ silhouette and has built-in stretch for comfortable, all-day wear and a just-right mid-rise fit.
