Jonas Brothers on Today’s New Generation of Disney Stars: “Don’t Envy Anybody That’s Doing This Now”
The Jonas Brothers walked the Los Angeles premiere of Camp Rock 3 on Monday, discussing their return to the Disney franchise as both stars and executive producers alongside fellow original cast member Demi Lovato. The film introduces a new generation of young stars, prompting the brothers to reflect on how fame has changed since their own Disney Channel breakthrough, with Joe Jonas noting today's performers face greater scrutiny but also more immediate ways to respond to negative coverage.
In Camp Rock 3, the brothers' fictional band Connect 3 returns to the camp to find a new opening act, introducing new campers led by Malachi Barton and Liamani Segura, with Lovato making a cameo. Joe Jonas said he and Lovato felt a "full circle moment" watching the new cast, while also stressing they prioritised creating a safe, supportive set for the young actors. Lovato echoed this, telling the newcomers to protect their mental health and take breaks, describing her return to the franchise nearly two decades on as "really healing".
