Summary

Paul Rudd and Nick Jonas are pushing themselves with their new film, POWER BALLAD. For Rudd, it's his first serious singing role in a film. For Jonas, it's a role that on the surface would seem familiar (a former boy band star) but pushes him to new dramatic heights. Here the two join Josh alongside their director John Carney (ONCE) to talk about collaboration, inspiration, motivation, and more. POWER BALLAD opens in select theaters 5/29 and nationwide 6/5.
