Joe Jonas doesn't 'envy anybody' in today's new generation of Disney stars

Joe Jonas doesn't "envy anybody" in today's new generation of Disney stars.

The 36-year-old star rose to fame with brothers Kevin, 38, and Nick, 33, as part of the Jonas Brothers in the mid-2000s, as they made various Disney Channel appearances before landing their acting debut in 2008's Camp Rock.

Comparing the modern world with their own rise, Joe told The Hollywood Reporter: "I don’t envy anybody that’s doing this now, there’s probably a lot more scrutiny.

"Things happen a lot faster, and with that you also have an opportunity to kind of explain yourself quicker; when we were starting, we didn’t have a lot of options — just kind of hope that the article isn’t about you.

"Now you can at least go on your TikTok and say, ‘Hey guys, I didn’t say that’ or whatever it is.”

The Jonas Brothers have returned to Camp Rock for a third film in the franchise, and Joe wants the younger stars in the sequel to be cared for properly.

As well as the child stars having more resources through professionals and the studio, Joe wanted to ensure they "were running a safe space on set".

He added: "That was one of our priorities when we signed up to do this, we were like, ‘We want these kids to feel comfortable,’ because ultimately we remember what it was like and it can be a lot of pressure.

"They’re about to be shot out of a cannon into stardom, so we wish them the best and we hope they’re surrounded by love and care.”
