10 Things Nick Jonas Can't Live Without | GQ

essential adjectives absolutely necessary extremely important that's what we're talking about today Hi, I'm Nick Jonas and these are my essentials. My first cell phone was a Nokia brick where you could flip it to face it. He had the snake game. No. color screen eventually from there I became a companion and kept it until I got to the black bear. I considered myself a businessman at the age of 15 and was reluctant to make the switch to the first generation iPhone and then got up to the 6 and stayed there until recently. They gave me this phone, the 11, which for some reason has three cameras, four if you include the front one, and again it is a life-changing experience that connects me with my family and friends. and my amazing fans around the world, there have been crucial moments where not having my cell phone was a hindrance, but actually the story comes to mind that my brother and him didn't have his phone, this was Joe, We are a great skier. snowboarder, he's too scared and we were on the mountain and he had a white case on his phone.

At the top of the mountain he decided to enjoy himself a little and as he was going down, his phone fell out of his pocket and he was trying to take a photo and he said: I'm done. I'm too high to go down this mountain again. It's up to you and I said: I will save one day. I'll find your white phone. I am this snowy white mountain. Then I rode. I crouched down and like something out of a movie, they pulled this guy over and he looked hurt. I told him: are you okay? and he looked up and said, is this your phone?

Forty thousand square feet of space on this white mountain and the only guy I ran into was the guy holding my brother's phone. I didn't tell him until now, obviously, that I had help, but I saved a day and he has me to thank. and just so you know he's no longer high, my friend introduced me to one of the good

things

in life and no, I'm not talking about great tequila, which we'll talk about later. I'm also talking about low mercury, now this is delicious, it comes in several flavors, tandoori, lemon, pepper, cajun, so many great flavors and I like it. a bit of a fan of canned tuna, so to speak.

I've posted many videos and tutorials on how to make your own, much like a makeup tutorial, although it's tuna instead of makeup. I had the pleasure of being part of this film in the first version. of the Jumanji franchise that were about to release the second. I was actually watching the original with Robin Williams on a tour bus the day I got the phone call that I'd been cast in the movie, so it was a bit of a fluke and to this day that's still one of my favorite movies. , the fact that I can now be a part of this franchise was really special.

One of the

things

to note in this movie is that there is one scene in particular where Kevin Hart is crying unnecessarily in the scene where I know he cries all the time, obviously, but this was on camera and it's in the movie where we were filming in the mountains and it was so cold that the wind was blowing in his face, so when he made this cut in the middle of the movie that I'll see if you go see it in theaters, he's literally crying and we're all crying, laughing at him crying on the screen and I just got the most joy possible from that.

You should text him now and tell him he's a big crybaby. My job requires me to work a lot and travel a lot, which means I'm not in my own bed very much and one time I was on a plane and I looked at this very elegant man, the most elegant man I've ever seen in my life. life. He walked with some kind of briefcase. He walked with a duffel bag and put down the briefcase. He first opened it and took out an eye mask. His own cashmere blanket and some earplugs. Then he put down the duffel bag. top proceeded to lie down on the bed on this flight he put on the eye mask and looked like it had been done professionally that flight was over I looked again and realized it was none other than Tom Ford, the most stylish person ever I've ever seen him and he slept in his suit, which I also thought was very impressive, while I looked like, you know, a garbage man.

Basically, after that I was like, "I'm going to go find myself a good sleeping mask." The cool thing about this one is that it's actually open here. so it doesn't put pressure on your eyes is crucial, spoken by a true eye mask aficionado. I don't know where I found this, but I never leave my house without talking about Tom Ford. I recently bought this portfolio, it's a kind of handbag. I guess a bag, but the important thing is that it elevates everything, so I could wear a t-shirt. Having this with me suddenly looks like I really put in a little effort to get out of the house in the morning or if I have it with a it suits that too it doesn't have to be Tom Ford, he's just my inspiration because he's the most stylish man I've ever seen. acquaintance.

This was a splurge I made recently after touring and seeing fans every night and how amazing. It was so I said, you know what I need a new bag. I've had the same one for a while and it treats me pretty well, plus it looks really cool when you make this bag and then close it again, so thanks Tom Ford for everything. the inspiration for the briefcase bag for those of you who don't know, that's what the tequila holder folio bag is called man's best friend not always necessarily the next morning, but in the moment it's safe and with this one it's my best friend because I Co-created this brand with John Barbados, a very good friend of mine and collaborator.

We had always had an interest in tequila and wanted to build something together, starting with collaborating on clothing and moving on to fragrance and then after all these dinners and stuff. We've been together where we talked about life and family and connectivity and art at the center a lot of those conversations were tequila we said we're not professionals we don't know much about this but we know we have a good eye for the way we move, we designed the brand and you know we've drunk enough to know what we'd like it to taste like, so we went to a Stoli group and talked to them about developing their brand that they had just developed.

I actually bought a distillery a couple of months before, so the timing was perfect and within eighteen months of getting the perfect juice, we have the design concept for the bottle, which is our Reposado, we have a silver tip on the D. At home, for me, tequila is like champagne in the sense that you drink it with friends at times when you are celebrating when life is good and we wanted to bring that same energy and idea around tequila, which is that It's life as it should be. it should be with the people you love and for me my brother is my wife this is what we drink and whether you're celebrating or not, hopefully you'll be around people when you drink this because it's not good to drink alone, but this is this.

Well, it is essential to have it in moderation of course, this is a perfect transition to the Bro mask. Now I don't like gender stereotypes at all and I think it's important to recognize that this is a product that is specifically aimed at men, but this is something that both men and women can use and it is very useful. I don't necessarily know the science behind it, but I know that I feel a lot better after using it and this started because you know I was regularly stealing my wife's products and and she was stealing some of my products and then someone that I work very closely with who it helps me with my hair and feel put together before I get into things said once you try this one and it's made by a husband and wife who have a similar story where the husband was stealing his wife's products and they finally developed this together and I love that it was a parallel to my own life, finding a way to get men who maybe feel uncomfortable to take more care of their skin and others. things because of unfortunate gender stereotypes.

I think this is a good starting point for you or you will feel much better, you will look your best, it is just good to take care of yourself, that is the reality, whether you are a man or a woman, non-binary take care of yourself feel your best your body will. You will appreciate it so brother, the mask for me is the way to go and for someone else it could be something else, but this is my essential element, in addition to taking care of yourself, it is important to smell good. I did a show on Broadway a couple of years ago called How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying.

I replaced Daniel Radcliffe and then Darren Criss came in for a while. I had this strange feeling of competition with those two guys who I really love and admire. and we have very good friendships, but the competition wasn't so much about the show where we all played the same role, but more about our castmates telling us who smelled the best, so when I joined John Varvatos I told him the same story. I said well, why don't we make a fragrance and you can actually have the title of best smelling man in show business and I said what a great idea.

We launched first the blue fragrance, then a red micro fragrance Maroons that came out last Christmas season and this is our newest one, it's kind of electric, if you had to think of a word to describe it, it has a lot of energy, I think it explodes right away and it has an effervescence that makes you want to know more not only about the fragrance itself, but for the person, this fragrance for me is about challenging yourself. I will say that this was inspired by New York, the energy of the city, the art and creativity within that city, both from how it looks and how it smells, if you smell it.

I think you know what I'm talking about, it will make you want to get up and do something and I like to make good first impressions and this does that, but this is not essential because I make money from marriage and this ring is the sign of always being It goes back many, many, many thousands of years. I think my Wikipedia page that appeared before this is accurate. This specifically was a gift from my wife, as was yours from me, although I have named all of these things as essential. I try to

live

without really needing any material object and knowing that if it were stolen from me or if I ever had to give it to someone or if it was lost in some way, it wouldn't crush me, no matter what it was like. quite devastating as it represents the greatest achievement of my life, which is finding someone I love and care deeply about.

Who I Wouldn't Spend My Life With For those who don't know, that's what a reading wedding ring means, it's the ring you get on your wedding day, so I'm glad I can help you understand that hopefully some day you will have one of these; If that's what you want, if not, no pressure, it's a game played by four or more people with a ball, this net. and a lot of positive attitude, the idea is simple, it's basically volleyball combined with doubles table tennis and it seems like a sport for someone who just made a keg, maybe it has a kind of real brotherhood energy in the best way. in that it's about, you know, just throwing a ball into a net, a very simple concept, but my brothers and I really love this while we're on tour and it's a good warm-up for us, it's not necessarily a very athletic, although I'm sure there are plenty of people who disagree with me on the Internet.

We will take it very seriously. It's more of a fun way to kill time and although our skills are improving, I'd say probably for the rest of the world. watching this at home who aren't in the deep end, you know, tournament style, Spike, both games, just get one of these, very easy to get out of the buddy cup, hit the ball, see if you can take House that the spike ball is proud of us. I know it's easy to travel with, although now trying to prove this is a bit awkward. Those are my essentials. Thanks for watching.
