It’s been an exciting year for Jonas so far, he hosted Saturday Night Live this past winter and released his latest album, Spaceman in March. Jonas teamed up with his wife Priyanka Chopra to announce Oscar nominations, and the two are currently raising funds for the ongoing COVID-19 crisis in India. On top of all that, he starred alongside Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland in the post-apocalyptic thriller Chaos Walking.
Jonas is making strides in the entertainment industry as is, and he is only 28 years old. Meanwhile, fans are watching along as Jonas continues to succeed in every new project he takes on.
