When asked who his man crush was, Jonas responded by writing that Daniel Craig and Matthew McConaughey were two of his favorites, but he also disclosed that of late, he’s been taken with a certain red sweater-sporting icon. “I’m pretty into this guy, Ken Bone, recently, tbh,” Jonas wrote. “He kind of takes top of the list for me.” Jonas did have one stipulation for his man crush; it’s all dependent on who the undecided Bone votes for. Jonas even went so far as to send Bone some encouragement to hit the polls. He added a call to action for the overnight celebrity. “C’mon Ken, we’re believing in you. Don’t let us down!” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4528818/joe-jonas-ken-bone-reddit-ama/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4528818/joe-jonas-ken-bone-reddit-ama/"},"headline":"Joe Jonas Is Man Crushing on Internet Hero Ken Bone, Depending on Who He Votes For","datePublished":"2016-10-12T21:18:09.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:37:35.576Z","description":"Joe tells all in a Reddit AMA","url":"https://time.com/4528818/joe-jonas-ken-bone-reddit-ama/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","Music","celebrity","Culture"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt331fe0e55273eeb6/6988a9bd0a4a2242e49cb9df/joe-jonas-ken-bone-reddit-ama.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Cady Lang","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/cady-lang/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt331fe0e55273eeb6/6988a9bd0a4a2242e49cb9df/joe-jonas-ken-bone-reddit-ama.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Men's Fitness Game Changers Celebration - Arrivals","caption":"Men's Fitness Game Changers Celebration - Arrivals","creditText":"Matt Winkelmeyer—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4528818/joe-jonas-ken-bone-reddit-ama/","name":"Joe Jonas Is Man Crushing on Internet Hero Ken Bone, Depending on Who He Votes For"}}]}] ```
