Chelsea Staub blows kisses to the camera as she takes a ride around town with costar Kevin Jonas.
The 20-year-old actress caught up with JJJ to chat about JONAS, the JoBros and a crazy-manic fish named Bea. Check it out:
JJJ: What is your favorite thing about the Jonas Brothers?
CS: It’s pretty cool that I get to go to work with three guys my age who don’t suck to look at (laughs). They’re cute and they’re fun and we have a great time together. They love to make people laugh and make them feel comfortable. It’s really nice to be able to go to work and know that I’m doing my job and doing what I love. I’m there with peers and people that I can relate to because we’re all close to the same age. It’s awesome.
JJJ: Out of the episodes that you’ve filmed, do you have a favorite episode?
CS: 21 episodes in the can ready to go. It’s different because most shows will start airing what they filmed half way through filming [the season]; start putting it out there and start getting a response, but we finished a whole season and no one has seen any of it yet. Hopefully they like it!
There are a bunch that are my favorite. We had such a great time making the show. In one episode, my character Stella enters a beauty pageant. The boys are judging the contest and Joe tells Stella that she’s not the “pageant type.” Those are fighting words for a girl. She ends up finding a way into the pageant to compete while the boys are judging her. It’s really funny and of course, it was a great episode. I had a great time with it.
JJJ: What’s your favorite thing about your character, Stella Malone?
CS: My favorite part of Stella is that she’s the only girl not affected by how famous the Jonas/Lucas Brothers have become. She’s grown up with these boys. They actually make a reference back to knowing each other since they were five years old. She doesn’t care that they’re famous — they’re her best friends so she picks on them, gives them girl advice and they rough house with each other. They’re best friends. And she’s completely honest all the time, probably to a fault.
JJJ: Do you personally listen to the Jonas Brothers’ music? What’s your favorite song?
CS: Oh yes, I definitely listen to their music. My favorite…from the first album was “Inseparable.” And the second album, probably “Love Bug.” When I first met the Jonas Brothers, it was auditioning for the pilot episode two years ago and I remember that they had a Baby Bottle Pop commercial to their name and Year 3000 was on the radio and they hadn’t even released their first album, gone on tour with Miley [Cyrus] or any big tours for that matter. They didn’t have that Rolling Stone cover, obviously. So, when I first met them, I remember when we were filming, we actually sat in the green room one day and they played “S.O.S.” on their computer for me, saying, ‘We’re gonna release this as our first single.’ I loved it. The first concert I went to was in Arizona at the Marquee. There were maybe 200 girls there. I bought my ticket at the door the day of the show. To watch their climb and see how popular their music has become…I bought their first album in Salt Lake City, Utah, while I was filming Minutemen and I remember playing it for the cast. I remember saying, ‘These guys are going to be huge, I promise you.’ Now they’re everywhere and it’s really cool. When I first got the show, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m doing a show with the Jonas Brothers’ and people were like, ‘Oh, I’ll have to check them out.’ And now, I tell anyone, especially my little cousins that I’m doing a show with the Jonas Brothers and squeals ensue.
