After attending the 2018 Golden Globes alongside [James Franco](http://time.com/5098569/james-franco-women-accuse/) — who played him in [_The Disaster Artist_](http://time.com/5027054/james-and-dave-franco-the-disaster-artist/)— Wiseau posed for a widely shared photo with Joe Jonas. But it’s his supposed conversation with the DNCE frontman that’s truly making Internet waves. _The Room_ star took to Twitter on Tuesday to reveal the popular request he allegedly made of Jonas at the after party. “I told the Jonas Brothers they should get back together,” he captioned a retweet of the picture. And it seems as though Wiseau’s advice may have reached the band at least. The Jonas Brothers reactivated their Instagram account for the first time since 2013 on Monday, sending fans into a frenzy over a possible comeback. Of course, some took the opportunity to joke about Wiseau’s involvement in the potential reunion. “You’re tearing me apart, Jonas!” [wrote](https://twitter.com/iamscottblade/status/953164291045081089) Twitter user Scott Blade, parodying one of the most famous lines from _The Room_. > [](https://twitter.com/iamscottblade/status/953164291045081089) See a selection of the reactions below. > [](https://twitter.com/buckydarnes/status/953161529347715072) > [](https://twitter.com/BonerWizard/status/953171547778269184) > [](https://twitter.com/sarahendipityy/status/953163491409412096) > [](https://twitter.com/CRIPPLEPUNX/status/953165464997367809) > [](https://twitter.com/Lizzardyy/status/953287273793146881) > [](https://twitter.com/rogue%5Fprogram/status/953161520774443008) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5104301/tommy-wiseau-jonas-brothers-comeback/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5104301/tommy-wiseau-jonas-brothers-comeback/"},"headline":"Tommy Wiseau Wants a Jonas Brothers Comeback.
