The Evolution of Nick Jonas

Britney. Christina. Justin. It was only a matter of time before childhood popstar Nick Jonas broke away from his ‘boy next door’ Disney image and transformed into the ‘bad boy of the neighbourhood’. And we couldn’t be happier (or should that be hornier…) Ahead of his exclusive appearance at G-A-Y this weekend, Anthony Gilét takes a stroll through the evolution of Nick Jonas.

 


2006 

The (very) young Nick Jonas and his brothers release their first album before they’re finished releasing hormones. How little did we know…

2007

Nick Jonas and his brothers turned up to the American Music Awards. Looking kinda like Hanson, had they been styled by Adam Lambert. And this baby-faced brother was not even at the legal age of consent yet… *gulp*

2010 – September

The boys came together again for Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. Honestly, we can’t say that we caught that one, but by this point the lads were starting to look more polished.

2012 – May 

The brothers split from their long-term record label Hollywood Records. But on “amicable” terms, it wasn’t quite the end for the group. Though, thankfully it was seemingly the end of those early fashion choices. We’ve all been there… *recoils*

2012 – May

Nick Jonas takes part in the annual AIDS Walk New York that benefits a number of organisations helping people with HIV/AIDS. Salute, babe!

2012 – October

Their reunion concert, the first time the band had performed together since Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam. And the whole of Radio City Music Hall (NYC) gave them a warm welcome; like when you get back to the after party post-Grindr meet.

2013 – October – split

After rumours of “creative differences”, Americas (boy)band of sweethearts announce their split. US schools saw a sky-rocket in the number of teenage girls absent the following day… Strange.

2014 – September

Nick makes his solo debut, looking kinda like an American Shayne Ward, with infectious single ‘Jealous,’ that goes to number one. Honey, the only thing we were jealous of is those abs.

2014 – September 

Jonas dances on the bar with strippers at a gay bar in NYC. While that might be a standard night for you, and I (and certainly for Lady Lloyd), it was a first for the pop star who took the opportunity to loosen up his buttons. Naturally, he was bombarded by paps and fans, finally somebody understands what it’s like when I pop down Tesco Metro with me rollers in. Fuckin’ nightmare, init babe.

2014 – October

A year after the groups split, the star amps up his gay fan base by following in the footsteps of Mark Walhberg and doing his best crotch grab for Flaunt magazine. Obviously, the pics went viral and our ovaries exploded.

2014 – December 

Fans of DirecTV’s Kingdom may have been surprised to find out character Nate Kulina (Jonas) was gay. Nick tells BuzzFeed he’s “thrilled to tell this story”. And somehow we think the gay community was pretty ‘thrilled’ at you telling this story, too. Especially considering the graphic sex scenes Kingdom is prone to. Win, win.

2015 – February 

Now as the face etched into every gay guy’s wank bank (sorry, not sorry), London’s world famous G-A-Y @ Heaven is sure to be packed out with hoards of screaming single queens as Nick performs his number one single. And it’s not just him that takes centre stage, but he also joins US pop princess Kelly Clarkson! Don’t miss it.  We’ll be there for sure.

 

• Nicks Jonas is at G-A-Y @ Heaven (Villers Street, WC2N 6NG) on Saturday 14th February, 10.30pm-5am. Oh, and he’s sharing the stage with some pop chick you may have heard of called Kelly Clarkson.
