He once opened up in length about being fat-shamed in the early days of his career and how it impacted him mentally. Keep scrolling for the deets.
Hill is a renowned Hollywood actor known for his dominance in the comedy genre. He was once on Forbes’ list of the highest-paid actors, earning several accolades in his career. Jonah was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performances in Moneyball and The Wolf of Wall Street. Some of his best-known movies are The 40-Year-Old Virgin, 21 Jump Street, 22 Jump Street, and more.
Jonah Hill has been candid about his struggles with body image and the toll public scrutiny took on his self-esteem. In 2021, he urged people to stop commenting on his body, noting that such positive or negative remarks weren’t helpful. The following year, he stepped back from press duties to focus on his mental health and manage anxiety and panic attacks linked to public appearances.
When Jonah Hill Opened Up About Being Fat-Shamed & How It Affected Him Mentally
According to People‘s report in his appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Jonah read from the Inner Children magazine that he wrote while working on his directorial debut, Mid90s. Hill wrote, “I became famous in my late teens and then spent most of my young adult life listening to people say that I was fat and gross and unattractive. And it’s only in the last four years writing and directing my movie, Mid90s, that I’ve started to understand how much that hurt and got into my head.”
In Inner Children, Hill reflected that everyone carries a memory of their younger self they feel ashamed of; for him, it was his 14-year-old self—an overweight, insecure teen longing for acceptance. He told Ellen on the show that everyone carries a version of themselves they try to hide, and even with success or personal growth, a part of that hidden self always remains.
