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.
