Nick Jonas' Audition for 'Frozen' Role: A Surprising Revelation on 'Hey, Jonas!' Podcast
Nick Jonas, along with his brothers, was recently honored as a "Disney Legend" at D23. However, in a surprising revelation on their podcast "Hey, Jonas!", Nick shared that he had auditioned for a role in the animated movie "Frozen" but did not make the cut. The Jonas Brothers' podcast episode featured an interview with "Frozen" cast members Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, and Josh Gad, who were shocked by Nick's audition story.
Nick disclosed that he auditioned for the role of Kristoff in "Frozen" but failed to impress the casting executives during the audition. Despite his attempt, the role eventually went to Broadway star Jonathan Groff. Gad jokingly mentioned that Nick would have had better chemistry with Kristen Bell than Groff, to which Nick playfully agreed.
Although Nick missed out on a role in the lucrative "Frozen" franchise, his career has been successful in its own right. The Jonas Brothers have achieved immense success in the music industry, selling over 20 million albums and securing 26 Billboard Hot 100 hits. Nick also has a thriving solo music and acting career, with projects like the "Jumanji" movies and the comedy film "Power Ballad" with Paul Rudd.
While "Frozen" continues to be a massive franchise for Disney, Nick's career trajectory remains strong, with recent projects like the premiere of "Camp Rock 3" on Disney+ and upcoming appearances in the entertainment industry. Despite the missed opportunity with "Frozen," Nick's contributions to the music and entertainment world continue to resonate with audiences worldwide.
