Maar niets is minder waar. Joe wordt hiervoor gehuurd door een bedrijf die één of andere reclamespot wil maken waarvan ze hopen dat het veel bekendheid zal krijgen. In de auto van Joe hing een camera, dus hij en zijn passagiers zullen zeker deel uitmaken van de reclamespot!
Hieronder kan je nog een verhaal lezen van een meisje dat in Joe's auto stapte.
One minute, I’m waiting for a car to take me and my coworker to Pinkberry. The next, I’m rolling around town with a 24-year-old pop star. Best snack break ever?
Yesterday afternoon, my coworker Lindsey and I tossed around the idea of grabbing Pinkberry. As often happens in the Myspace offices when the 3 o’clock snack craving strikes, this quickly snowballed into a bunch of freeloading coworkers who wanted us to go get them yogurt without actually leaving their desk. That’s bullshit, right? After some back and forth, a compromise was struck: They’d call an Uber car for Lindsey and me, so we wouldn’t have to deal with the stress of Beverly Hills traffic.
After about 20 minutes of waiting, I was about ready to bail, but our car finally arrived and Lindsey dragged me downstairs. Lo and behold, the driver was none other than Joe Jonas. What!? I thought. This has to be a joke or a trick, right?After a few awkward moments of total confusion, Joe (I feel like we’re on a first-name basis), Lindsey and I hopped in his Mini Cooper. I noticed the official Uber iPhone rig on his dashboard, so this had to be somewhat official, at the very least. And even if it wasn’t, when Joe Jonas opens the door and tells you to get in the car, you listen.
We embarked on our drive, our heads still spinning as we tried to figure out what the hell was going on. (That’s me sitting behind him in this photo you might’ve seen making the rounds.) We chatted with Joe about his post-JoBros music career. (You know, if the whole Uber thing doesn’t work out.) He’s working on a new solo project and hopes to see some studio time with Chromeo and The Strokes’keyboardist/guitarist Albert Hammond, Jr. in the near future. If I had to guess, his solo project will have a heavy dance influence, as he kept circling back to this during our drive.
What’s Joe like in real life? He’s actually funny as hell. At one point we noticed a homeless man, nearly naked and covered in filth, aimlessly meandering in the middle of the street. I jokingly suggested that we take him with us. Joe pulled over the car and politely asked the man if he wanted to join us for some Pinkberry, to which the homeless man responded with some incoherent jibberish. (What are you doing Joe? Drive! Drive!)
Once we finally arrived at Pinkberry, we couldn’t just leave Joe waiting for us in the car, so we took him with us and offered him dessert. (Ladies, if you’re ever looking to woo him, he takes strawberries on his Yogurt.) On the walk back, he got stopped by a group of giddy teen girls for a pic and happily obliged. The dude’s a professional.
The big question, then: What kind of Uber driver is Joe? Put it this way—there’s a reason his Uber rating currently sits at only three stars. But what he lacks in general chauffeuring skills, he makes up for with charm and personality.
As he pulled up to the office, he told us not to report this to the media, then had an epiphany: “Wait, you guys are the media!” I couldn’t help but notice a GoPro camera lurking in the corner, so I have a feeling this may not be the last we’ve seen of this adventure. I just hope I didn’t say anything that would embarrass my mom.
To think I almost bailed on the Pinkberry trip at the last minute.
Stay tuned for more Jonas-news ! Eline xx
