Joe Jonas Warned Not To Get ‘Too Close’ To Britney Spears On Tour

We can’t imagine many women ordering the 26-year-old heartthrob to keep their distance, but the Toxic hitmaker did just that on the European leg of her 2011 Femme Fatale Tour.

The This Is Me singer revealed he was ordered by her entourage to always keep a “comfortable distance” between him and the 34-year-old blonde beauty when he was her support act.

And speaking to Andy Cohen on US TV show Watch What Happens: Live, he dished: “It’s funny because … technically you’re not supposed to get too close to Britney. Even though you are on tour with her they still ask you to keep a comfortable distance.”

But Joe is a huge fan of Brit and knew he would regret it if he left the tour without trying his luck. So on the last day, when he happened to get within arms reach of the pop superstar, he wrapped his arms around her and gave her a big squeeze.

Rather than push him away, good hearted Britney loved it. He added: “On the last day … I just went in there and gave her the biggest hug. She was very loving and had fun with it.”

Cohen then asked: “So the rule is you can’t get close to Britney?”

And Joe replied: “You can’t get too close.”
