You might best recognize Nick Jonas as one of the three brothers in the pop-rock band The Jonas Brothers. All three brothers still have boyish good looks, with adorably cropped brown hair, and charming grins. That’s why Nick Jonas might be hard to recognize for a brief moment in his newest gig. He’s undergone a surprising transformation to raise awareness about an issue he has personal experience with.
Jonas has jumped decades ahead to play a way older version of himself in a commercial for the Super Bowl. The youngest brother of The Jonas Brothers has teamed up with glucose monitoring tech company, Dexcom, to make a commercial promoting the newest technology that could help those diabetics manage their condition (per E! Online). “It’s always been a dream to be in a Super Bowl commercial, and to have it be something that’s so personal to me … is so special,” he says (via Access).
Nick Jonas is promoting a condition he himself has
Fans know the “Find You” singer has been diagnosed with diabetes himself. In 2018, the star publicly spoke about his diagnosis for the first time by showing a split photo of himself on his Instagram along with the reveal. “13 years ago today I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. The picture on the left is me a few weeks after my diagnosis. Barely 100 pounds after having lost so much weight from my blood sugar being so high before going to the doctor where I would find out I was diabetic,” he writes. Adding, “On the right is me now. Happy and healthy. Prioritizing my physical health, working out and eating healthy and keeping my blood sugar in check. I have full control of my day to day life with this disease, and I’m so grateful to my family and loved ones who have helped me every step of the way” (per E! Online).
At the end of the Super Bowl, commercial, Jonas claims, “finally technology that makes it easier for us to manage our diabetes” (via YouTube). We’re happy for the new technology. But we’re also happy to see that even as an old man, he still looks adorable.
