Joe Jonas joined the 'mile high club'
The 36-year-old singer has revealed he had sex with a partner in a plane bathroom "a couple of years ago", but in a celebratory moment afterwards, Joe mistakenly high-fived the flight attendant instead of his drummer.
In an interview with the NowThis series Are You Okay?, the Jonas Brothers star - who was married to 29-year-old actress Sophie Turner from 2019 until 2024 - told host Brianna Morales: "I joined the mile high club a couple of years ago.
"I was wearing contacts [lenses], left the bathroom. I thought I was high-fiving my drummer. After the high five, I realised it was the flight attendant."
Luckily for Joe, he was on a private flight, and he thinks if he had sex on a public plane, he would be "banned" from flying.
The Gotta Find You hitmaker quipped: "It was a private plane. Or I would be banned from flying."
Despite the situation turning awkward with his case of mistaken identity, Joe insisted it was worth it.
Joe previously revealed how he and his brothers Kevin and Nick "felt the pressure" to live up to their Christian values after talking publicly about their "purity rings".
After shooting to fame in the 2000s, the pop stars famously wore bands symbolising their desire to abstain from sex before marriage and Joe Jonas, 35, has admitted being open about their beliefs forced them to maintain the very high standards they set for themselves.
During an appearance on Penn Badgley's Podcrushed podcast, Joe explained: "Famously we were known for like purity rings, which were something in the community of a church where that was like what everybody else in our age were doing around 10, 11 years old, like, we're going to wait for the right person ...
"One person on an interview when you're 15, 16 [years old] would ask you about it, and you're like: 'I don't want to talk about this,' and then they're like: 'Well, I'm going to write that you guys are in a cult'."
Joe went on to say: "Whether it was sex, or it was even religion or Christianity, [they'd be] questioning things like questioning if I believe in God, what is God? Is there even a God? And it's on the record.
"And you're like, uh ... and so you felt the pressure,. I can definitely speak for all three of us here. [We] felt the pressure of being like: 'Well, we have to live these lives because we kind of said it in a paper once. And it's in print, so you [have] got to do it forever.' "

Joe Jonas shares ‘embarrassing' encounter with flight attendant after joining ‘mile-high club'
Joe Jonas revealed he accidentally gave a flight attendant a high-five on his way out of the bathroom after joining the mile-high club. 'I was wearing contacts,' Jonas said during the on-camera interview for the Are You Okay? show. 'I left the bathroom. I thought I was high-fiving my drummer,' he recalled in the clip shared on social media Tuesday. 'After the high-five, I realised it was the flight attendant.' While Jonas described it as an 'embarrassing moment,' the dad of two, 36, clarified that the indiscretion happened on a private plane. '[Otherwise,] I would be banned from flying,' he quipped. When asked if it was 'worth it,' Jonas quickly responded, 'Yeah!' In the TikTok comments thread, followers were full of opinions. 'Joe having no filter is the best thing ever,' remarked one person, while another wrote, 'I absolutely love this man. He's such a comedian.' A third wondered if they 'have a shot with Joe Jonas,' while a fourth confessed, 'this made me love him more.' On X, others couldn't help but joke about the incident. 'Mile high club? Bro some of us are just trying to fit in the seat,' wrote one person, while another quipped, 'Joe obviously has not been taking advantage of his status over the years.' Joe — who famously wore a purity ring alongside brothers Nick and Kevin during their younger years — apparently has no shortage of 'embarrassing' moments he's willing to share. In 2023, the singer confessed he was once forced to make a 'mid-wardrobe sh*t change' because he pooped his white pants onstage. 'I think it might've been a little toot, might've been something else, something a little extra,' he laughed while recalling the incident during a July 2023 appearance on The Will & Woody podcast. 'So it was a, like, mid-wardrobe sh*t change during the set.' He quipped that it was 'a bad day to wear white clothing,' and later confessed he was 'able to work through' the embarrassment 'with a lot of therapy.'

Is it a thriller, satire or nightmare? Eddington will keep you guessing
EDDINGTON ★★★½ (MA) 150 minutes Ari Aster may still be best known as a horror filmmaker, but by now it's clear his real bent is for satire, to whatever degree there's a difference. Eddington, his fourth feature as writer-director, launches his kindred spirit Joaquin Phoenix on another odyssey through a nightmare America, following their earlier collaboration Beau Is Afraid. The difference is that where the hapless Beau stayed trapped in his head, Eddington aims to capture something of the collective reality Americans have been living through over the last few years, or at least the reflection of that reality in the distorted mirror of social media. We're in May 2020, with the pandemic well under way, the January 6 riots in the immediate past and the summer of Black Lives Matter on the horizon. But only a portion of this impinges directly on the isolated town of Eddington, New Mexico, where the stalwart local sheriff Joe Cross (Phoenix) insists the virus has yet to spread. Visually, Eddington is every inch a Western, the desert vistas offering the same scope for deep-focus staging as the grassy plains surrounding the Swedish commune in Aster's Midsommar. The gag is the contrast with the small screens the terminally online characters keep peering at, implying that the American ideal of rugged self-reliance may have reached its use-by date. Still, Joe wears a white 10-gallon hat along with his faintly emasculating glasses, and confronts the town's smooth-talking Hispanic mayor (Pedro Pascal) in the middle of main street as if anticipating a showdown at high noon. One immediate issue is the demand that citizens mask up, which Joe, as an asthmatic, has more reason to resist than most.
