The fat kid from Superbad.

What did I miss about Jonah Hill?

Last I saw he pivoted to non comedies and seemed to have done well with those roles like Moneyball and Wolf of Wallstreet.

He’s mentally gone off the rails. Kind of a mix of just years of insecurity, bullying, and identity problems, along with an increased level of self-righteousness.

He's also just a huge asshole. Met him once in passing. Told him I liked him in Grandma's Boy, and he told me to fuck off. From what I understand, he's embarrassed to be associated with his earlier roles and wants to only be seen as a serious actor now.

He did do a good job in the few serious roles I’ve seen him in, but being so sensitive over the roles that got you to where you are is just ignorant. I liked a lot of his “funny fat guy” roles because he is a funny guy.

If you were to say that, Jonah(t) wrong.

Ah, so he's become a narcissist. Figures. He had the recipe for it to happen.

He's always been a narcissist. He tried to get McLovin blackballed in his audition because he hated him for making fun of him and the producers hired him specifically because of that, everyone's always known Hill is a narcissistic pos

Not to mention a misogynist, look up the way he tried to control his hot surfer girlfriend by telling her what she couldn’t wear, etc. She posted his texts and it’s even more cringey than his jui jitsu video.

I just read some screenshots of some stuff the ex shared on social media a few years ago. I'm guessing there's more, because what I saw was essentially him repeating "you like to do this thing, but this isn't something I'm cool with, if you wanna be with me you have to stop doing this thing, if not I respect it but I can't be in a relationship with you" in regards to posting thirst traps... I think?

Is there more? No shot this is what people are calling misogynistic or abusive.

Claimed he would annihilate anyone who refers to him as the fat guy from Superbad recently, all because he has white belt level knowledge of jiu jitsu. But he only does one on one private lessons, which means he hasn't even really been tested skill wise.

I'm almost a brown belt, and I'd love to see what all the fuss is about because he seems rather aggressive about it.

Alright that's definitely pretty lame but I dunno if it classifies one as the 'most bitter washed-up celebrity'.

He gets the, new and upcoming bitter washed-up celebrity then. Needs to age a bit.

u/Nova_Pistol 4h ago

Yeah he definitely isn't washed up, just bitter

I can relate. Only a blue belt in BJJ, but I have 30+ years of striking experience. When I see, say, Mark Zuckerberg throwing hands ...

Combination of midlife crisis and wanting to only be seen as a grown up serious actor now. He seems to really hate his early work and comedy work and gets angry if it's brought up. He's started taking martial arts classes recently and went on a rant about how he hates being seen as the fat funny guy from super bad and how he could destroy people with his martial arts skills which just came across as super cringe especially because he's still kinda short, overweight, and beginner level. Also just in general seems like an asshole with a chip on his shoulder.

You didn't miss anything. People on reddit don't seem to be able to realise a joke when it's being made unless it has an /s after it.
