Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas
Compare and contrast the two brothers is always interesting for everybody. Almost people think brothers have many things in common. This is not always true. In this case, Nick Jonas and Joe Jonas are the perfect example. Joe Jonas was born on August 15, 1989, in Casa Grande, Arizona. He is known as an American pop singer, musician, actor, and dancer. He first dreamed of becoming a comedian, but he was always attached to music and loved listening to different kinds of music.(1) Nick Jonas is his younger brother. He was born on September 16, 1992, in Dallas, Texas. He is an American singer-songwriter, musician, actor and multi-instrumentalist, best known as one of the Jonas Brother, a pop-rock band he formed with his brothers Joe Jonas and Kevin Jonas.(2) Even though both of them have the same parents, ability, and filmographies; they also have considerable differences in appearance, personal life, and their career.
Nick Jonas, the younger one, has 3 aspects that make him different from his brother: appearance, personal life, and career. He has a light black curly hair, dark brown eyes, and no beard. He is more muscular than his older brother, Joe Jonas. His casual style is T-shirt and jeans. In his personal life, Nick Jonas has been involved in a number of relationships that have stayed in media highlights. Most notably he dated Miley Cyrus from June 2006 to December 2007 for the first time they met. Then, he dated Selena Gomez in 2009 and Delta Goodrem in 2011. Nick Jones has currently been dating Miss Universe Olivia Culpo since August 2013. He also developed a public service announcement with the Washington Nationals to support diabetes care at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. He began his career at the age six in theater as a young boy who had acted in several plays, such as “Beauty and the Beast” in 2002, Les Misérables in 2003. Then, in 2005, he formed the boy band called “Jonas Brothers” with two of his siblings, Joe and Kevin, and found a huge success while working with Disney Company. Beyond the band, Jonas has gained notoriety as a solo artist and expanded his acting career to TV and movies. (3)
On the other hand, Joe Jonas, Nick’s older brother, also has some different aspects in appearance, personal life, and his career. Like the majority of western men, he has a pair of dark brown eyes, thick eyebrows and black short hair. He is taller than Nick. His style is comfortable fashion. In his personal life, his relationship is very complicated. He dated singer Taylor Swift from July to October 2008 and ended the relationship by phone after meeting actress Camilla Belle. After that, he dated Demi, Ashley and Blanda. Joe’s music career is really successful. It was announced on May 19, 2010, that Joe was planning on releasing a solo album. On May 16, 2011, Joe announced the first single called "See No More". Fastlife released on October 11, 2011, and debuted on Billboard 200 charts at No. 15 off 18,000 sales start.
