Nick Jonas Discovers Glen Powell's Plane Ticket in Borrowed Pants

Singer-actor Nick Jonas shared a hilarious story about wearing trousers previously worn by Glen Powell and finding Powell's plane ticket in the pocket. The incident was recounted on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where Jonas joked about a potential Top Gun sequel role. Powell responded with a joke about hygiene and the possibility of a real-life "Brotherhood of the Travelling Pants" project. Jonas is currently starring in Power Ballad and will appear in Jumanji: Open World.

Nick Jonas reveals he once wore pair of Glen Powell's trousers

Washington DC, June 5

Singer-actor Nick Jonas recently shared a hilarious behind-the-scenes story involving his former 'Scream Queens' co-star Glen Powell, revealing that he once wore a pair of trousers previously worn by the actor and discovered Powell's plane ticket tucked inside a pocket, according to People.

Appearing on the recent episode of 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon', Jonas recounted the "bizarre" incident that first came to light earlier this year.

Reflecting on his February appearance on the show, Jonas said that after completing his performance and returning to his dressing room, he found something unexpected in his pocket.

"I felt something in my pocket, and I pulled out whatever was in there, and it was a plane ticket that belonged to Glen Powell," Jonas said.

Calling Powell "a good buddy" of his, Jonas explained that fashion brands often lend clothes to celebrities for appearances and events, according to People.

"Brands from time to time will lend you clothes to wear to an event so you look cool, and I guess Glen had worn these pants prior to me getting the pants. The note was still in there," he added.

Host Jimmy Fallon recalled that Jonas had shared the incident on Instagram in February and jokingly referred to it as the "Brotherhood of the Travelling Pants".

"I think it's a good idea. That movie with he and I would get made," Jonas quipped, prompting Fallon to joke that he would happily join as the third friend.

Fallon then suggested Jonas leave a note behind in case Powell wore the trousers again. Playing along, Jonas asked for a pen and wrote a humorous message on a tissue.

"Dear Glen, please just a friendly reminder to talk to the producers about including your good friend Nick Jonas in the sequel to Top Gun. Thank you," the note read, according to People.

After Jonas first posted about the discovery on social media in February, Powell responded with a joke of his own in the comments section.

"They didn't wash these for you?!? I feel like the Brotherhood of the Traveling Pants should incorporate some sort of hygiene pact," Powell wrote, according to People.

Powell later told Entertainment Tonight that Jonas had FaceTimed him to show the ticket before sharing the story online.

"I love Nick so much," Powell said, adding that he was "not no" to the possibility of a real-life 'Brotherhood of the Travelling Pants' project involving the two stars.

Jonas is currently seen in 'Power Ballad', which is now playing in theatres. He will next appear in Jumanji: Open World, scheduled to release on December 25.

Okay, I'll be the one to say it — brands lending clothes to celebs is nothing new in Bollywood either. Remember when Karan Johar wore the same outfit as Ranveer Singh at a party? 😅 But this Nick-Glen bromance is genuinely hilarious. The plane ticket in the pocket part got me! Imagine if something like this happened at a Indian film awards show — the memes would be unstoppable. And Nick's note asking for Top Gun sequel role is pure gold. That's what we call networking, folks! 👔

Light-hearted story, but honestly, I'm a bit skeptical about the "brands loan clothes" system. In India too, celebs get sponsored outfits, but this just shows how disconnected Hollywood glamour can be. I mean, couldn't someone at least check the pockets before lending? 🤷‍♂️ Still, the camaraderie between Nick and Glen is refreshing. Let's hope they actually make that 'Brotherhood' movie — it could be a fun break from all the superhero sequels!

Jimmy Fallon's idea of leaving a note for Glen is the most Indian mom thing ever! 😂 Like, "Put a chit in your pocket so you don't forget." Nick playing along and writing a note for Top Gun sequel is peak friendship goals. ❤️ This is what we need more of — celebs being human and laughing at silly things. Also, Glen's hygiene concern: "They didn't wash these for you?!" — that's a valid point! 😄

Such an adorable story! 🥰 It's rare to see male friendships celebrated this openly in Hollywood. The way they tease each other and support each other's projects is sweet. If they make a 'Brotherhood of the Travelling Pants' movie here in India, I'd totally watch it. Imagine SRK and Aamir doing this! 🤩 Also, Nick's note-writing skills
