Joe Jonas recently penned an essay entitled "Joe Jonas: My Life As a Jonas Brother" and boy does it reveal some interesting tidbits.
The former JoBro's letter will be published in the December 9th issue of New York magazine (via Vulture) and in it he reveals the fear that Disney put in him, when he lost his virginity to Ashley Greene and that time he smoked up with Demi Lovato and Miley Cyrus.
We have collected all the pertinent quotes for you below. Enjoy!
On losing his virginity to Ashley Greene: "I lost my virginity when I was 20. I did other stuff before then, but I was sexually active at 20. I'm glad I waited for the right person, because you look back and you go, ‘That girl was batshit crazy. I'm glad I didn't go there."
On then-girlfriend Demi Lovato: "Demi ended up punching a girl in the face on a plane, because she thought the girl was blaming her for something. Everybody gasped, and the girl just started bleeding. That's when her team and her family told her, ‘You need to go into rehab.' I remember being in South America, and fans immediately jumped to the conclusion that we kicked her off the 2010 tour, and they just hated on us for it."
On smoking weed with Demi and Miley Cyrus: "The first time I smoked weed was with Demi and Miley. I must have been 17 or 18. They kept saying, 'Try it! Try it!' so I gave it a shot, and it was all right. I don't even smoke weed that often anymore."
On changing himself for Disney: "I had to shave every day because they wanted me to pretend like I was 16 when I was 20 (when the show was done, I cut my hair off and grew as much of a beard as I could). We went along with it at the time, because we thought Disney was our only real shot, and we were terrified that it could all be taken away from us at any moment."
On not disappointing their parent company: "We were working with Disney in 2007 when the Vanessa Hudgens nude photo scandal happened. We heard that she had to be in the Disney offices for a whole day because they were trying to figure out how to keep her on lockdown."
"We'd hear execs talking about it, and they would tell us that they were so proud of us for not making the same mistakes, which made us feel like we couldn't ever mess up. We didn't want to disappoint anyone—our parents, our fans, our employers—so we put incredible pressure on ourselves, the kind of pressure that no teenager should be under."
