Jonah Hill has been pictured looking unrecognisable from his former self, as new photos from the set of his upcoming film 'Outcome' show the Hollywood actor with a dramatically slimmer physique. The 42-year-old star, who shot to fame in 2007's 'Superbad', has shed an astonishing 12 stone, leaving fans stunned.
In a snapshot alongside co-star Keanu Reeves, Hill sported a bald head and bushy grey beard, a far cry from his earlier appearances. The film, which sees Reeves play Hollywood icon Reef Hawk opposite Hill's crisis lawyer Ira, is set to premiere on Apple TV+ on April 10th.
Hill has previously opened up about his weight loss, explaining that he didn't resort to anything drastic like a 'pill or a genie'. Instead, he consulted a nutritionist and changed his eating habits, crediting Japanese food and running for his transformation. He started with 10 push-ups a day, eventually working up to 100, and also took up boxing with a personal trainer.
The actor has spoken about the frustration of public commentary on his body, saying: 'I know you mean well but I kindly ask that you not comment on my body. Good or bad, I want to politely let you know it’s not helpful and doesn’t feel good.' He confessed to being body-shamed throughout his career and targeted by online trolls, adding that he never took his shirt off in a pool until his mid-30s due to insecurity.
Hill reflected on his journey, stating: 'I’m 37 and finally love and accept myself.' He dedicated his message to 'the kids who don’t take their shirt off at the pool', encouraging them to have fun and remember they are 'wonderful and awesome and perfect'.
