Priyanka Chopra says Nick Jonas rewrote her jokes for Jonas Brothers Family Roast, ‘pretended to laugh’ during shoot
Priyanka Chopra said that Nick Jonas told her that she is ‘not mean enough’ and rewrote some of her jokes for the Jonas Brothers Family Roast.
Priyanka Chopra said that her husband Nick Jonas was a sport about jokes being made at his expense on the Jonas Brothers Family Roast. In fact, she said that while she found certain jokes to be ‘offensive’ to him, he told her that she is ‘not mean enough’ and rewrote some of her jokes.
During an appearance on the daytime talk show The View, Priyanka said that it felt ‘liberating’ to be a part of the Jonas Brothers Family Roast, and Nick was very ‘sweet’ about jibes taken at him.
“He took it really well. How many of us get to roast our husbands publicly, right? I enjoyed it so much. The thing about it is I was really nervous the day before because I haven’t done stand-up (comedy). I would never be able to be roasted because I take offence to everything. Like, ‘what do you mean?’” she said.
“But he was so sweet. I was like, ‘No, I can’t say this, this is offensive to you.’ And he is like, ‘You are not mean enough.’ He rewrote some of my jokes for me. Talk about someone being in your corner. And then pretended to laugh at them!” she added.
The revelation made co-host Sara Haines joke, “See? He is a good actor!” Priyanka laughed and said, “We’re getting there.”
On the Jonas Brothers Family Roast, Priyanka took potshots at her husband’s acting career. “Nick and I have a 10-year age gap. There are many 90s pop culture references he doesn't understand and I have to explain it to him. He showed me how to use Tik Tok for example. You know, and I showed him what a successful acting career looks like,” she said. Her dig caused uproarious laughter in the audience.
