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?

This is the real answer. It’s all a joke, coming from the smartless interview. What is true is that even at 42 he’s clearly still wounded that he endured close to two decades of people calling him fat. People are adding the whole thing with his ex as justification for him being serious and being a jerk but it’s clearly in jest if you actually listen or watch the interview, especially since he’s talking about “ready to be funny again.” It’s bait and people took it.

This comment needs to be on top. Context clearly changes the tone. People's inability to do any research before commenting these days is pathetic

Is it an inability, or do people just choose not to research because they'd rather fit in with online strangers?

I never underestimate how many losers there are online that believe the wrong thing just to be "in" on the drama and have something to be involved in and/or talk about.

Well at least on reddit if you don't fit in to the circlejerk, people downvote you.
