  Just Jared Jr. Interviews Chelsea Staub

  Chelsea Staub met up with Just Jared Jr. to give them the lowdown on the JoBros, her new show “JONAS,” and what she’s working on next.
  
  When asked what her favorite thing about the Jonas Brothers is, Chelsea answered that, “they’re cute and they’re fun, and we have a great time together. They love to make people laugh and make them feel comfortable... It’s awesome.”
  
  Stella Malone is the character Chelsea Staub plays on the new Disney Channel show, “JONAS.” Chelsea shares that, “my favorite part of Stella is that she’s the only girl not affected by how famous the Jonas/Lucas Brothers have become. She’s grown up with these boys. They actually make a reference back to knowing each other since they were five years old. She doesn’t care that they’re famous — they’re her best friends so she picks on them, gives them girl advice and they rough house with each other. They’re best friends. And she’s completely honest all the time, probably to a fault.”

   

  Chelsea’s best friend on the show, Nicole Anderson, who plays the character Macy Misa, is actually her best friend in real life. So what’s it like to work with your real life best friend? Chelsea says that, “it’s really cool. Nicole and I met each other five years ago in an acting class. We hit it off right away because we’re both the same age and we’re both in the same situation where we left our home states (hers being Georgia, mine Arizona) with our moms, living in a one-bedroom apartment pursuing our dream which was amazing but it’s hard too. We were missing friends and families, prom and high school. So, we really hit it off and it was nice to have someone going through the same things.”
  
  “About two years ago, we both auditioned for Stella. It came down to me, Nicole and Demi Lovato for the role of Stella. I booked it and I was so thrilled, and it was also bittersweet because my friend lost out and that was hard feeling like you’re celebrating when you know your friend is hurting. Then a year ago, when we started filming the first season, the producers came to me and said that they really wanted to write in a best friend for Stella and they were thinking of casting Nicole. It was perfect. It was full circle and we were able to do the show together…It was cool to go through this experience together because we both know how much it means to us. We’ve had a lot of moments on set where we just stop and look at each other and go, ‘I can’t believe we did this. This is so awesome.’”
  
  As for the future, Chelsea’s been working on a couple little things. “I’ve been working on a new cartoon pilot for Disney. Hopefully, it will get picked up. It’s been fun. It’s my first time voicing a character so to watch my voice coming out of a fish is different. There are some other things that I’m working on and keeping my fingers crossed and seeing what happens with JONAS. It’s going to be an interesting month ahead of me.”
