Alexandra Shipp, who plays Jonas’ onscreen love interest Zoey Abbot in director Robert Schwartzman’s comedy-drama, chimes in on what she calls the “incredible”Camp Rockviral moment. “It’s a lot,” the actress, 33, teases. However, she remembers seeing the movie “and being like, ‘Whoa, I really want to go to music camp!’ ”

“You didn’t care that none of it made any sense?" questions Jonas.
