Renowned pop star Nick Jonas is gearing up to take on the iconic role of Paul Stanley in the highly anticipated KISS biopic titled Shout It Out Loud. This film promises to explore the fascinating journey of the legendary band as they skyrocket to fame during the vibrant mid-1970s, an era that profoundly shaped the landscape of rock music.

Known for his incredible talent, Jonas is a prominent member of the acclaimed trio Jonas Brothers, alongside his siblings Kevin and Joe.
