The Jonas Brothers were recently inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame, an honor they share with people like Bruce Springsteen, Shaquille O’Neal, and Buzz Aldrin.
But when the JoBros first met the astronaut in 2017, Aldrin was not interested in posing for a picture.
Joe Jonas shared the story of meeting the spaceman while appearing with his siblings Nick Jonas and Kevin Jonas on a recent episode of Last Meals from Mythical Kitchen. The brothers and Aldrin were all attending a Dallas Cowboys game. The middle Jonas recalled asking Aldrin for a snap, but claimed Aldrin said no.
“He refused to take a picture with me,” he said. “Somebody came up to him and said, ‘You should probably take a picture with them.’ So we did get the photo.”
Aldrin posted the photo to X, at the time Twitter, after meeting the band. He wrote that he was told “apparently they’re hot stuff.”

Their upcoming Jonas20: Living the Dream Tour hit a snag in June after the band announced it was canceling tickets and downgrading the venues for six shows. Fans whose concerts were impacted had to buy fresh tickets for the new shows.
“To the fans, we’re so excited to get out and be with you for our 20th-anniversary tour!” the Jonas Brothers shared in a statement online. “Every decision we make is with you in mind, ensuring the best experience for our incredible fans. We’re making some changes, but rest assured, all performances are still happening on the same dates and in the same cities. We’re pouring our hearts into making this the best tour we’ve ever done.”
The band is releasing their upcoming eighth studio album Greetings From Your Hometown on Aug. 8.
