When 16-year-old Nick Jonas testified to the Senate Homeland and Government Affairs Committee about living with diabetes, we were impressed with how maturely he stayed composed up there, as well as how well-spoken he is for his age.
Of course, his quoting of his own song lyrics and plug for the Jonas Brothers' 147 new projects seemed a bit out of place, but then again, his heartfelt words describe this health struggle he has battled all his life. So way to go, Nick!
Here's the youngest Jonas, who was joined by Miley Cyrus on stage in the most romantic concert moment ever last weekend, taking a very different stage, but handling himself extremely well and bringing attention to an important cause.
Nick's official purpose for testifying in front of the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing was to advocate for government funding for diabetes research, along with Sugar Ray Leonard and Mary Tyler Moore.
Later, Nick met Barack Obama during a trip to the White House.
He popped in for a photo with the Commander-in-Chief and children who are living with the serious illness. If anyone can upstage the President, Nick would be it!
