Nick Jonas Covers L'Uomo Vogue/Talks Gay Icon Status
Quote:
There's nary a bomber jacket in sight on Nick Jonas' new L'Uomo Vogue cover, only a bold Louis Vuitton menswear look from the maison's Fall 2015 collection. Considering there are not many places a printed Canadian jumpsuit and matching rope motif peacoat would fly, we're glad he's making the most of the opportunity to embrace a luxury.
Quote:
Newfound status as a gay icon (the youngest Jonas plays a ridiculously buff gay character on the show Kingdom) that gets discussed.
"It’s an honor, but I don’t think of myself as an icon," the frequently shirtless star tells the magazine. "There should be a lot more straight artists who don’t have a problem with having gay fans. I’m really proud to play gay characters and I’ll continue to do so. I think it’s among the challenges of maturing as an actor."
On returning to Broadway.
Quote:
Nick also discusses his potential next act as a playwright, saying he'd like to head back to Broadway with something he'd written himself. But more importantly, he wears this fantastic white shirt, which, surprise, is also by Louis Vuitton, and a black coat by Tom Ford, which is also not a bomber jacket.
Though I wish people would stop calling him a gay icon. He's not even gay, just because gays swoon over him and he pretends to be gay on tv doesn't automatically make him our icon. Might as well call James Franco a gay icon too while we're at it
