Camp Rock Cast: Then & Now

Attention campers, welcome back to Camp Rock.

Is it surprising that the Disney Channel Original Movie featuring Demi Lovato, Joe Jonas, Nick Jonas, and Kevin Jonas was released before its intended audience? The TV movie, which takes place at a summer camp focused on rock ‘n’ roll, premiered back in June 2008. It quickly became one of the network’s biggest successes, with 8.9 million viewers tuning in, a number that has kept it among the most popular DCOM movies to this day.

Although not dancing enthusiastically on the path to success due to an obscure series called “High School Musical,” which you might be familiar with, the TV film featured Demi Lovato as a budding vocalist named Mitchie Torres.

In 2010, for the sequel, Lovato showed that she’s just as confident with the material as she was before, disclosing that she revisited the nostalgic past with her then-boyfriend (now-husband), Jutes.

For the 2010 sequel, Lovato demonstrated that she’s equally confident in the material now as she was back then, sharing that she revisited the old times with her then-boyfriend (now-husband), Jutes.

2023 saw Demi Lovato sharing a clip of “Camp Rock” by @jutesmusic on their Instagram Story, celebrating its 15th anniversary, accompanied by three tears-of-joy emojis.

Nick was equally delighted to ponder over his past, sharing an Instagram video where he asked his fans, “Doesn’t it seem like only I who wonder about the potential title for a third Camp Rock film, or is anyone else in the same boat?

Perhaps Camp Rock 3: Connect 3 Reconnected?

Once a title has been locked in, his older brother Joe has quite the proposal. 

In 2017, he shared with Marie Claire that it could be amusing for us all (Demi and Nick) to reimagine the concept. He suggested a darker take on the theme, making it similar to a graduation but with an adult twist.

Not that adult, he continued,  An R-rated film. We’ve joked around about the idea a couple times.”

17 years since the release of “Camp Rock,” join us as we catch up with the movie’s cast members using a microphone and a hat.

He was Shane Gray for crying out loud! 

In the movie “Camp Rock,” the main vocalist of the Jonas Brothers stepped into the limelight as the central character, portraying the brooding rocker. Occasionally, he delights fans by reenacting these scenes, constantly emphasizing his affection for that role.

Following the group’s dissolution in 2013, many thought Joe would embark on a solo career, given that he was the first to put out a solo album before the breakup. However, rather than launching a solo venture, he achieved success with his band DNCE and their hit song “Cake By the Ocean.

Plus there was that whole Jonas Brothers rebirth.

Prior to his relationship with Sophie Turner from “Game of Thrones,” which started in 2016, Joe had romantic involvements with Taylor Swift and Gigi Hadid. The couple made their engagement public in October 2017.

After the 2019 Billboard Music Awards, Joe and Sophie decided to have an impromptu wedding at a Vegas chapel, exchanging Ring Pops instead of traditional wedding rings. Later on, they had another ceremony in France.

The duo subsequently had two girls join their family: Willa, born in July of 2020, and Delphine, who made her appearance in 2022. In the year 2023, they disclosed their separation.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar in 2024, she expressed that the situation was extremely heartbreaking. We shared a wonderful bond, and parting was difficult for both of us.

Following her role as the fresh-faced Mitchie Torres, Demi later took the lead in Disney Channel’s show, Sonny With a Chance, for a span of two years.

Demi’s music career gained momentum following her departure from the network, with popular songs like “Confident,” “Sorry, Not Sorry,” and “Cool for the Summer”—and seven studio albums to her name. She also held a position as a judge on The X Factor, and made appearances on Glee and Will & Grace.

In July 2020, the famous singer announced her engagement to actor Max Ehrich. However, they parted ways just two months later. In August 2022, Demi made their relationship with musician Jutes public. They tied the knot in May 2025.

For the last ten years, Demi has openly discussed her mental health experiences. She also spoke about her close brush with death due to a drug overdose in 2018, which she detailed in the 2021 documentary titled “Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil.

In the two films, the youngest band member primarily played the drummer role (Nate Gray), but it was only Nick who pursued an acting career. He shone in the MMA drama “Kingdom” and Fox’s “Scream Queens,” and also appeared in “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle,” one of the top-grossing movies of 2017, reprising his role for its 2019 sequel. Moreover, Nick was a coach on NBC’s “The Voice” in 2020.

Furthermore, Nick persisted in achieving triumphs within the music industry. He put out two solo albums and managed to secure a top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with his single “Jealous,” as a solo artist.

In 2019, when The Jonas Brothers announced they were getting back together and later released the popular song “Sucker”, Nick Jonas acknowledged his role in the band’s split five years earlier during their candid 2019 documentary titled Chasing Happiness.

In December 2018, he tied the knot with the star of “Baywatch,” Priyanka Chopra, over a three-day wedding celebration in India, filled with various ceremonies. Their little girl, Malti Marie, arrived in January 2022.

“Yeah man, this is where Connect 3…connected.”

The oldest member of the Jonas family portrayed Jason Gray, who was part of the film’s successful band and a fervent fan of Camp Rock. Later, they all appeared in the Disney Channel series “Jonas” for two seasons, simultaneously releasing music under the name The Jonas Brothers.

Since the band took a break in 2010, I’ve embarked on a new journey, building my family with the wonderful Danielle Jonas. We’ve been blessed with two beautiful daughters, Alena Rose Jonas in 2014 and Valentina Angelina Jonas in 2016. Together, we also starred in the TopMob series “Married to Jonas,” and I ventured into the business world, establishing my own real estate development and construction firm, JonasWerner. Additionally, I served as CEO of The Blu Market Company, and for a spell, you might have caught me on “The Real Housewives of New Jersey” as a contractor. It’s been quite an exciting ride!

In the year 2019, Alyson unveiled a bald look in their “Stripped Bare” music video. Later, they shared insights about their past battles with mental health issues and recovery from an eating disorder.

In simpler terms, as they conveyed to the crowd, “With each strand of hair that fell, so did numerous beliefs, thoughts, and fears. I choose to leave them behind.

Later that year, they garnered attention by outshining others at the MTV Video Music Awards when they collaborated with Missy Elliott for a memorable rendition of “Work It”. This was 17 years following their appearance in the iconic music video for the popular tune.
