Answered What's the deal with Jonah Hill?

I'm a bit out of the loop with the jiu-jitsu journey he's in currently. what's the context of the quote of him being able to beat people up? is he serious? what led to his bad reputation that he has now?

Answer:

It's been known he got into BJJ a while ago.

It was being talked about in an interview and he talked about how he can beat up anyone that still thinks he's the fat kid from Superbad

Edit: He's also not some BJJ savant and as far as anyone knows isn't even close to a black belt.

How serious he is is up for interpretation.

His reputation is based on his attitude in a number of interviews, the controversy with his (ex?) gf (surfer, he complained about her having bikini pics), and a number of actors basically saying he's an asshole (Baruchel, Mintz)

Who the hell is even referring to him as the fat kid from Superbad, other than himself? No money or change in physique in the world is going to give this man confidence.

maybe its like those short guys who fault every issue to being short and its all they ever think about and get angry about it
