Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner tie the knot

Top Talkers: A surprise celebrity wedding in Las Vegas as 'Game of Thrones' star Sophie Turner marries singer Joe Jonas.

Joe Jonas is a solo artist, a member of a popular boy band and has some acting credits to his name. One role that he was "destroyed" he did not receive was Spider-Man, after the role went to Andrew Garfield. 

Jonas recently spoke on the "Just for Variety" podcast, where he talked about his experience auditioning to play the web slinging hero in "The Amazing Spider-Man" franchise.

Jonas also talked about feeling like he had "an in" because the director of the movie used to be a music video director. 

"I remember that was a big thing at the time, going back for callbacks and the director used to be a music video director. So I was like, ‘I got an in here.’ But you know what? I love the process of auditioning and putting yourself out there and having to prove yourself," the Jonas Brothers singer explained. 

The role Jonas was up for ended up going to Garfield, who played the role in the 2012 "The Amazing Spider-Man" film and "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" with Emma Stone, who he dated through the filming of the movies until their break-up in 2015.

Garfield also went on to play Spider-Man in the 2021 movie "Spider-Man: No Way Home." Tobey Maguire, who played the superhero in a trilogy of movies from 2002 until 2007 also came back to reprise his role in the 2021 movie. 

As for Jonas, beyond his musical endeavors, which include The Jonas Brothers, a band he is in with his brothers Nick and Kevin Jonas, he has also done some acting, most recently in the 2022 movie "Devotion." He talked about auditioning for that role on the podcast and thanked his wife, Sophie Turner, who helped him through the process. 

"When you have a wife like Sophie Turner, who is a phenomenal actress, the one filming you and directing you through it, you got to bring your A-game. She’s my toughest critic. Yes, I’m going to be a little nervous [but she’s] super helpful and I feel like what a great acting coach to walk me through this. And I do have her to thank," Jonas said.
