Heartthrob Nick Jonas recently did a photoshoot for GQ magazine and in the accompanying interview he opened up about his new lease of fame now that he's no longer a member of the Jonas Brothers. 

He opened up about making the tough transition from child star to adult male celebrity with a successful singing and writing career, and told the magazine that his achievements are down to making bold decisions now that he's a solo artist: 

"I think that this stage in my life is really, for a lot of reasons, pretty incredible. Being a solo artist and trying to take these bold steps on my own."

Referring to the sexy new image he has been flaunting lately, Jonas added that at least he's getting attention which can then be directed towards his music: "You know what? If my abs drove them to the music and got them to access the other projects I’m doing, it’s all good. It’s all worth it.”
