Jonah Hill Sheds Weight For Upcoming Role
Superbad star and Hollywood funny man Jonah Hill has revealed that he is pushing himself to lose weight and get into shape.
Hill, the formerly robust, 27-year-old star of Get Him to Greek, appeared at the British Academy of Film and Television Art’s “Brits to Watch” event in Los Angeles on Saturday showing off a new, trim physique.
Although he wasn’t positive about the specific number of pounds that he had shed, Jonah explained that he made the lifestyle change because he “thought it was important to be healthier.”
“It’s not fun,” Hill told the LA Times, referring to his weight loss efforts. “I wouldn’t say it’s the most fun endeavor I’ve ever took on in my life — but it’s important. And I’m enjoying it. If I eat something unhealthy now, I kind of feel a little weird and my body hurts.”
Hill, who is reportedly teaming with actor Mark Wahlberg for a action-comedy titled Good Time Gang, also recently finished filming the movie adaptation of 21 Jump Street, which is due out on March 16th 2012.
