\n\tThe Jonas Brothers<\/a> have opened about the \u201cbizarre\u201d ways they were treated and discussed as teen stars<\/a>, including the often overwhelming speculation about their sex lives.<\/p>\n

\n\tReflecting on their career with Variety<\/a> ahead of a Hollywood handprint ceremony outside the TCL Chinese Theatre, the Jonas Brothers spoke about their early days as Disney idols<\/a> and tabloid sensations. At the time, the band were simultaneously known for wearing purity rings<\/a> and insisting they would abstain from sex before marriage, while tabloids and paparazzi breathlessly documented their dating lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThere was a lot of interest in our sexual life during our teenage years, which was odd,\u201d Joe Jonas<\/a> said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tNick, meanwhile, called all the attention and speculation \u201cvery inappropriate,\u201d and said he doubted teen stars of today would receive similar treatment. In that regard, he said he hoped that what the Jonas Brothers endured helped lead to this positive change.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIf we were a small part of things \u2014 course-correcting people taking that much interest in teenagers\u2019 sex lives \u2014 then I\u2019m happy we went through whatever we went through to get there,\u201d he said. \u201cBut yeah, it was a bizarre time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tElsewhere in the interview, Nick spoke about the band\u2019s willingness to embrace the pressure of stardom even as they were young kids, while adding that, if he had the chance, he\u2019d encourage his younger self to \u201ctake a little pressure off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe continued: \u201cI think we came up in a time \u2014 our work with Disney \u2014 and obviously, demographics of that being primarily a younger audience, teens, so there\u2019s this real pressure to be a role model, to be an example. I think back when we would\u2019ve said, \u2018Oh, we love that. We don\u2019t mind the pressure. We\u2019re trying to be good guys.\u2019 I think as a 33-year-old, talking to my 13-year-old self, I\u2019d say, \u2018Hey, don\u2019t try to carry the world on your shoulders. If you just need to be a kid growing up, going through experiences, do that.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tIt\u2019s been a busy year for the Jonas Brothers, who released their most recent album, Greetings From Your Hometown, in August, and spent much of the past few months on the road<\/a>. (The tour was both in support of the new album, and in celebration of the band\u2019s 20th anniversary<\/a>.) The band still has several more tour dates lined up, with the trek set to wrap with a New Year\u2019s Eve concert in Miami<\/a> that will stream live on Samsung TV Plus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Jonas Brothers have opened about the \u201cbizarre\u201d ways they were treated and discussed as teen stars, including…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":167550,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[146,85,46,8134,8135,409,8137],"class_list":{"0":"post-167549","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-joe-jonas","12":"tag-jonas-brothers","13":"tag-music","14":"tag-nick-jonas"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=167549"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/167549\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/167550"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=167549"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=167549"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=167549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
