Frankie Jonas’ Reason For Not Talking To Sophie
The younger brother of Joe Jonas revealed just how flustered he got when introduced to his now-sister-in-law back in 2016 around Thanksgiving.
“Honestly, the most starstruck I’ve ever been was showing up at this airport and then, on this plane with my family is Sansa Stark,” the 21-year-old recalled during a July 15, appearance on the Chicks in the Office podcast, referring to the British actress’ character on the HBO drama. “And I’m like, ‘Uhhhh!'”
Frankie continued, “I, like, twiddled my thumbs the whole flight and I was just trying to think of something to say to her. I could not [speak] for like 24 hours; I didn’t talk to Sophie Turner because I was too afraid because she was so cool.” The Claim to Fame cohost added that it was “nuts” that Sophie is now “my sister.”
Frankie Jonas — As Cohost In “Claim to Fame”
According to Frankie, The show has to do mostly with Identity discretion, deceit, and a lot, he said it’s so full of surprises that you could never have guessed or predicted what was happening even as a host. “Claim to Fame has so many facets,” Frankie says. “So much of it is about identity. So much of it is about this beautiful game that incorporates lies and deceit and amazing challenges. Kevin and I, the whole time we were filming, were shocked every single episode and so enthralled by everything that was happening. I think throughout this series there was only one time I said, ‘I knew it!'”
Just like the contestants, Kevin and Frankie were kept in the dark on everyone’s identities, so they also got to play along.
If Kevin were to go on the show, he says, “I think I’d probably have to go full prosthetic, bring in the Hollywood makeup team and just become a different person.”
Frankie, meanwhile, says he’d “probably have to do an accent, like a Southern drawl.” Plus, Frankie would’ve had a tough time concealing his identity as a contestant, considering that he has a following of nearly two million of his own on TikTok. He also grew up making appearances on his brothers’ Disney Channel projects like Jonas and Camp Rock 2.
“I think that I would just end up telling everyone,” he says. “I talk so much, so I would end up talking myself into a circle and telling everyone my secrets the moment I got there.”
