Newly svelte Jonah Hill (almost unrecognizably so) has been formally set to star alongside Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn in Neighborhood Watch, the Akiva Schaffer-directed Fox comedy. Shawn Levy is producing through his 21 Laps banner. Hill will next be seen starring opposite Brad Pitt in Moneyball, which premieres next month at the Toronto Film Festival, and he stars in the David Gordon Green-directed Fox comedy The Sitter. He’ll look like a different actor in Neighborhood Watch, because you can see he has slimmed down quite a bit. He’s repped by WME.


Will he still be funny as skinny?
Yes. Because he’s funny.
Call me crazy but I think Hill looks freakish at 280 lbs and more so at 150 lbs. Sorry, I just don’t get the attraction. Luckiest guy on the planet!
It’s not always how they look, but what they say and do that can attract an audience. Then the audience likes them more.
If you are a male actor.
he needs to put the weight back on
You said it best Jonah… “There’s nothing funny about a physically fit man…”
tell that to Jackie Gleason, Dom DeLuise, Larry the Cable Guy, Stan Laurel, John Belushi, Curly, and the rest of the fat men in comedy.
It is an archetype with a bit of a comedic short hand.
Jonah Hill committed career suicide like Jennifer Grey did with the nose job.
Everyone will be asking, “Who is that?”
couldn’t agree more. he’s killed whatever career he really had by getting so thin. this is not jackie gleason, let alone john candy. that said, it doesn’t mean he should be obese, our business has lost too many talented people because of their inability to stay healthy.
Looking good! I mean, looking creepy!
Just stay healthy…you will be funny no matter what…
What’s he been smokin’?
HOLY CRAP! He looks sick. WTF?
he wasn’t funny fat…and he’s not healthy looking at all, he looks like he lost every ounce of muscle, and what’s left is this creepy skinny fat body
he should start signing on for serial killer roles
Looks like someone went from the weed to the other stuff — creepy…actually looks unhealthy…
am i seeing things or does Jonah Hill now look like Brandt Joel.
It takes a while to get to used to anyone big person that’s had gastric surgery, because their skin still sags in places. Heck, Al Roker still looks weird after all these years.
Stiller and Vaughn? Whose idea was that?? They’re going to kill each other!
wow none of this is about the whole article its about the picture lol
Not a good pic of Jonah, but I’ve seen others and he looks great. When it comes funny; humor is from the heart, not Adipose cells. What’s that? Look it up its Biology 101.
Great for his health. Terrible for his career. Morbidly obese people with floppy hair are funny. Pale, skinny people who look like child molesters are not. Unless they’re in a skit about pale, skinny child molesters.
Jonah Hill’s humor runs very acerbic.
Acerbic on a big boy plays funny.
Acerbic on a not hot, freakishly thin guy might not play with audiences.
Here’s to hoping he has a loyal fan base…
Good for Fox that they have Stiller and Vaughn to do the heavy lifting.
You cabbageheads really believe he looks WORSE now than when he was obese?? I can imagine what tons of lard you all look like then. He looks great, and if Robin Williams is funny slim, why can’t Jonah be? I guess you were the chubby chasers drooling over Chris Farley right?
Jonah Hill is FAR from Robin Williams sir (seriously, it is like comparing a current local garage band to The Beatles). Perhaps it is a bad photo but in it Jonah looks sick, not healthy. That is why people are saying that he looks worse.
Fat people look so awful when they drop a bunch of weight all at once. It’s kind of a lose-lose, lol
Also- I never thought he was funny when he was obese. So I don’t care how unfunny he is will anorexic. He sucks either way IMO.
Jonah peaked with Superbad. He looks terrible. His humor is one layered. His new Fox show looks horribly unfunny. Hope he saves his money.
I’m guessing you didn’t see Cyrus then.
“He’ll look like a different actor in Neighborhood Watch, because you can see he has slimmed down quite a bit.”
Thanks for that expert commentary, Mike!
get fat and be funny again.
He’s one of those guys (Rainn Wilson is another) I want to punch in the face every time I see him. Can’t stand him. Don’t think he’s funny. Don’t understand the love.
Guys career has skyrocketed since firing Principato Young Entertainment as his manager. He has gotten healthy for one. His roles have become interesting. Smart guy and talented. Good discovery by WMA.
