Nick Jonas‘ press tour catering exclusively to gay men continued this week with a Q&A style interview in ladies’ magazine Cosmopolitan, where Nick basically outed himself as a gay man trapped inside a straight man’s body.
When asked who his celebrity crush might be, it doesn’t take much coaxing for the 22-year-old to give up his male celebrity crush. Sounds like he’s thought about this question before:
Celebrity crush? And this is not, like, sexual … Every single girl has given me a girl answer. I’ve never gotten, like, a guy from a girl.
Interesting. So I should give a guy is what your saying?No, no, no. That’s not what I’m telling you.
If you’re asking, it’s Daniel Craig.
The interview also asks what the rest of the JoBros think of Nick’s new single “Chains” (they love it), reveals his hidden talent (tossing a ball in a hole), and some more things you’ve probably never wondered:
Do you have a style icon?
James Dean; he’s the best.One-word description of your personal style?
Understated.All-time favorite movie?
Dead Poet’s Society.Dream collaboration.
Prince. For the stories and music.What I’m looking for in a partner.
Honesty, sense of humor, and good times.What’s the worst date you ever had?
Well, there was a few where, like, alcohol was involved and it just got really bad. Those weren’t necessarily the worst dates. The worst dates are when people, like, know more about me than is comfortable.
People, not girls.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Are you a top or a bottom?
[Laughs] Really? I mean, I’d consider myself more of a top, but I’d do anything for my amazing gay fans.
Just kidding, we made the last one up.
Check out some photos from Nick’s Cosmo shoot below:

And below this, some newly released shots from Nick’s racy Flaunt shoot, which we first covered yesterday:
If you’re expecting the Nick Jonas buzz to end soon, don’t hold your breath. The new DirecTV show Kingdom, in which he will reportedly play a gay character with gay sex scenes, premieres next Wednesday. His self-titled debut album is set to drop next month.

Methinks that Nick is putting his Gay training wheels on and taking them out for a test spin……
He grew up in a uber conserative home, The Jonas Brothers were under tremendous pressure to portray a squeeky clean image. (remember the “purity rings all three wore???) No premarital fooling around, no drinking, no smoking…..
Plus Nick is a type 1 diabetic so he had to take that into consideration also in his endeavours……
I think now that he has tossed the constraints of The Jonas Brothers and no longer has to consider the images of two other careers he is dipping his toes in the Gay pool…………..He actually has a great voice and I gots zero problem with him showing anything he wants to show us………..
PS: Love to make a “pit stop” in the first pic of this thread!:p

He’d have to be a top. A no-ass having bottom almost feels blasphemous
Doughosier
He’ll come out in time. I’ve always liked him. He can actually sing.
Silas Wegg
I find the Cosmo photo shoot much sexier than the nearly nudes. The looks suits him better.
But uh, boy is not a top. He strikes me as a sub bottom, no doubt. And one who likes muscles daddies at that.
Paco
I was afraid of falling into the dirty old man category for thinking he is sexy, but since Daniel Craig is his celebrity crush…
I’m not feeling so old anymore. LOL.
lykeitiz
@Paco: I second that!!
Gothrykke
He better not be friggen teasing us like they did with Davinci’s Demons, BattleStar Galactica, Buffy/Angel, Teenwolf, and a thousand other shows. I am so sick of being gay-baited by these hetero jerkoffs.
Gman23
I think it is derogatory to call gay people queens, bitches, and queers. Some people don’t like straight acting, I don’t like the term queens, bitches and queers, or hags.
mtrav
You can’t get any sweeter than this young man, all the way around, top to bottom and inside.
Gman23
@Gothrykke: Would you prefer to be loved by the likes of Kurt Cameron?
DickieJohnson
@Gman23: Hmmm, how do you stand on calling us F@gs or C*cks*ckers?
I think Nick is purely adorable, and if he’s into Daniel Craig, does that mean he favors Unc*t? Anyway, it’s just a matter of time ’til the coming-out party, in my humble opinion.
Horse Lips
He’s really cute but he needs to get another expression. I’m sure everybody is aware that this is all for publicity.
Gman23
@DickieJohnson: I don’t like those terms either. But I sometimes hear gay men using those terms more than I do heterosexuals.
Gman23
@Horse Lips: Who doesn’t do thinks for publicity.
Gothrykke
@Gman23: Sure would, honey, but I fail to see how that has anything to do with gay-baiting tv shows that have no follow-through on gay interests beyond a few token wink-wink moments.
rcs831
He’ll come out.

@Gman23: I sort of agree with you. Gay men have a long history of being referred to as women in order to hurt us, but 1. we know we aren’t women, and 2. there’s nothing wrong with women. So playing with feminine adjectives can be a healthy form of irreverence. For those who do use these words, it’s important to use discretion. Queer has an academic side, too, referring to the common experience of “otherness” among lesbian women, gay men, bisexual people, and trans* people. I, personally, love the word queer, and I think no other single word can unite the full LGBT community. But I use it with discretion, and I think others should as well. Just my two cents!

Also, I just personally find it very endearing when straight guys want gay fans.

@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: google Nick Jonas ass I’ve been drooling over that fatty since before the gay pandering

He’s not gay. I think two things are happening here: 1) He grew up in an uber-conservative religious home and now that he’s an (intelligent) adult and free, he’s decided to very publicly break up with the Protestant doctrine he was once force-fed. 2) Being in show business, Nick knows and is probably good friends with, may gay men and this is his way of showing his love for his friends. He reminds me of a lot of the adorably liberal boys here in Boston…they’re straight and they’re good people, who rather loudly embrace their gay friends, partly because they’re (probably unconsciously) trying to show what good-hearted liberals they are and partly because they really are good people and maybe they want to lead by example. Anyway, stop being bitchy towards him; retract your fangs and save the nastiness for our enemies.
jlicks
All you “Queens” crack me open…who gives a crap if he’s doing it for publicity…at least he’s not being negative towards us like a lot of other celebrities and politicians…Plus, he sure is “eye candy”…
As far as the Daniel Craig thing, I guess he has a bit of a daddy issue going on…
NoCagada
He may as well come out. Being diabetic, he’s going to find it easier to be a bottom when things stop working.
jjose712
@Gothrykke: You are mistaking things (and he will be in problems if more people do, and i think it will do).
He is doing a lot of promo in gay magazines, and of course he is talking about Kingdom, his new show.
It’s pretty obvious a new show needs to be promoted and he is doing that. But the truth is he never said the secret linked to the sexuality of the character is being gay or bi. Other people did that.
The fact he is saying he loves his gay fans and all that has absolutely nothing to do with Kingdom and the sexuality of his character, and has all to do with the relaunching of his career (Jelous could end being a bigger hit than any of the Jonas Brothers songs, or at least look like that right now).
He wants gay fans, he knows that other male artist (Enrique Iglesias is a good example) profited of having a loyal gay fanbase (more in the bad times than when he is at the top of the charts), and he obviously wants that.
Out of the constrictions of the overly clear image of the Jonas Brothers (all three brothers seems to put that in the past) he wants a gay following and he seems ready to do what he needs to do to get it.
Gman23
@jjose712: I agree with you. And I don’t like his celebrity crush pick either, bur I agree with you.
Gman23
@jlicks: My comment above was meant as a reply to your comments, somehow I replied to the wrong comment.
dennytate
Nick, you are a gay man trapped in a “gay man’s body,” because flexing, working out, showing pit hair and bulge doesn’t make your body heterosexual. It makes you a gay man with a masculinity fetish, which could prove otherwise that you might be inwardly passive & feminine by nature, thus concluding the obvious.
It’s safe to come out now, we already know. 😉
Scarecrow121
This article is amazing. Mainly because I use to listen to the Jonas brothers and nick was my favorite.
crowebobby
@Xzamilio: Are you being facetious? Calling Nick Jonas a “no-ass” is like calling Kim Kardashian a no-ass.

It’s strange that within two short months, this guy has got gay men in the palm of his hands.
Silas Wegg
@Tackle: More like his ass is in the collective palms of our hands. From the way he’s been riding us, we’ve been given license to determine whether or not he comes out on top.
jantheman4903
just another dude cozyingup to sell more records. nothing wrong with that except he is TWENTY TWO…where was he 3 even 2 years ago with gaypositive remarks…especially this blatant. i think he is a bit of a weasel for that. assuming he is straight…WHAT risk did he have at 19 or 20 joining antibullying? THINK of the brave highschoolers both gay and straight stepping up and then wonder..does he deserve applause or “NOW?”not before?
NoCagada
Really, Nicky…life will be easier after you come out…and then, maybe, you’ll have something to smile about.
christopher.lord
@Silas Wegg: A gay Dickens fan! I feel as if I have a Mutual Friend…
tricky ricky
according to a season 2 episode of Castle I just watched (I’m binge viewing the first 6 seasons) Nick is the coolest Jonas brother.
