Nick Jonas Details His “Terrible” Audition for Frozen

Jonas said he "bombed" the audition and later joked he would have been a better Kristoff than Jonathan Groff.

  • Nick Jonas revealed during a podcast appearance that he auditioned for the role of Kristoff in the 2013 Disney film Frozen but "bombed" his audition.
  • When casting directors asked what he would sing, Jonas lacked sheet music, prompting them to question, "What do you mean you don't know?" during the audition.
  • Glee star Jonathan Groff was eventually cast in the role, appearing in the 2013 film that grossed 885 million worldwide, while Frozen 2 made 1 billion.
  • Kristen Bell, who voices Anna in the franchise, joked: "That must have been why you didn't get it," prompting Jonas to reply he would have been better cast.
  • Despite missing the role, Jonas said he "really enjoyed" the film, and his other acting credits include playing Jefferson "Seaplane" McDonough in the Jumanji franchise.
