Overview
- The Jonas Brothers' Hey, Jonas! episode, which was recorded at D23 on Sunday, August 16, 2026, has Jonas admitting he once auditioned for the role of Kristoff and later told the cast he "bombed" the tryout.
- Jonas said casting asked what he would sing and he arrived without sheet music or a prepared song, which he blamed for the poor audition performance.
- Guests Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel and Josh Gad reacted with surprise and joking banter on the podcast while Jonas acknowledged he still likes and respects Jonathan Groff, who ultimately played Kristoff.
- The story played as a light, behind‑the‑scenes anecdote tied to the Jonas Brothers receiving D23 honors and does not change the known cast or franchise history.
- Disney has teased that the original Frozen principals will return for Frozen 3, scheduled for November 2027, which helps explain why even small casting revelations draw wide fan and media interest.
