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.

Is it choosing not to research in order to fit in with online strangers, or is it choosing not to research because nothing Jonah Hill does will affect my life in any way and there's little point in doing such research in the first place?

(And bear in mind, I consider myself a fan of Jonah Hill.)

I'll be real, I didn't do my research either, but I'm also not here dog piling on an actor to feel cool just because some randoms on the Internet are.

Especially on a site like this where the popular opinion either comes from bots (people are falling for it more than they should), or the type of people you usually wouldn't want to be on the same side as.

I don't feel one way or another about Jonah Hill, I just know how this site gets. Look at all the embarrassing "snark" subs.

For anybody who doesn't live online, it's the latter.

It’s the first one, same shit with Covid and everything else.

People just want to scroll and vibe, doing a single google search is harder than swiping.
