Joe Jonasone of Jonas Brothers, is disillusioned with his history teachers. He says it’s a shame they never taught him Jessie Brownthe first black Navy fighter pilot to serve in the Korean War.
Brown’s time in the war and friendship with fellow pilot Tom Hudner (played by GlenPowell) are, as published Varietythe plot of the film directed by JD Dillard devotion. Jonas there plays fighter pilot Marty Goode.
“I don’t know whether to get mad at my history teachers…” insists the actor in a podcast of the popular magazine. “When I auditioned, read the book, read the script, met the director, I thought, ‘How come I’ve never heard of this story, of these two incredibly brave individuals in the Korean War?’ I believe that At school they only make us study the Second War world…,” he mumbled on alluding to the war that took place on the Korean peninsula between 1950 and 1953.
The brother john stars and is also the one who co-wrote and performed the film’s title song: not alone. War veterans and active duty personnel can be seen in the song’s accompanying video.
“They come home and are not always treated well. We have to take care of them, they are very important. The truth, I wanted to talk about it,” explained the musician and actor.
To Oscars?
Since its release, not alone seems to be under discussion for the next edition of the Oscars in the category of best original song.
“Yeah, yeah, it’s been a really busy year of music and television and movies. I’m grateful to even be in that conversation about the Oscars. I honestly think 17, 18 years of experience I have at the moment are important. I am grateful to be able to do what I love. I know that sounds like a very political answer, but it’s the truth. Every day I try to focus on the opportunity I have to create music. And this movie thing was something I never expected to happen.”
He also recalled that he started therapy a few years ago because he was pretty sick when he was finally cut from the role of Spiderman. “I can probably name a couple of difficult moments. At the time of that casting I was devastated. I was ready for Spider-Man and I was so, so excited… but it was Andrew Garfield. Obviously, from a distance, it was the right one. But I remember he was very excited.”
