Jonah Hill

[DeadDwarf]

He got a lot of shit when he lost the weight and some people seemed to think he couldn't be as funny if he was skinny. It's almost like he has a better shot at movie roles if he plays the "funny fat guy". I hate to be a jerk, but he's not the typical hot actor who gets the leading romantic roles, maybe he feels being fat is better for his career because Hollywood is messed up like that.

And for the record, I think he's very talented, a great writer, and his weight shouldn't matter.

I guess he needs to find a diet and lifestyle that is maintainable. No point going to the gym for two hours five days a week and getting by on 1500 calories if after a few weeks or months you're going to return to your previous lifestyle choices. As long as he stays healthy I think he can be successful at any weight. I really like him

[lucianodel]

I don't know why but he just looks better as a chub.

That's true. It's harder for people who were overweight to continue a diet that strict. Jonah has the resources and the money to collaborate a diet and fitness plan with a PT so I don't know what he's doing to gain weight back. I hope it's not because of his career as a "funny fat guy" and he feels that being fat will keep him working. That would be a fucked up reason to gain weight.

I guess I'm alone in thinking he looks quite attractive here then. Miles away from being the fat kid in superbad.

i wonder if his new girlfriend likes him as a fatty. he dropped his longterm girlfriend for her, IIRC.

It really shouldn't matter, and I hope he didn't gain weight to stay in front of the camera...Life happens, and once you do get fat, those extra fat cells are much harder to lose. He does have other talents besides acting, so if he wants to go behind the scenes and that works out better for him, that may be the way to go.

First off, I had gastric bypass 9 months ago. I lost 85 pounds and I'm a wrinkled mess! I am however much healthier and no longer need diabetic medicines. It looks to me like Jonah may have had lapband. You can lose pretty quickly but it is pretty easy to gain it back if you stop getting fills. I find it sad that so many people like him as a "chub", it is so unhealthy to be overweight. The only reason people don't like him thin is they are not used to seeing him like that. People keep telling me "you've lost enough". I'm 5'7" and weigh 145, certainly not skinny be any means. I tell them if they met me for the first time they wouldn't think I was too thin. I'm sad to see he has regained it so quickly. Better luck next time Jonah.

Well done on your weight loss Nana51.


There are many reasons why folks are overweight, and many reasons why folks over-eat. Me? I've managed to stop comfort eating, stress eating & now I'm working on boredom eating; maybe Jonas needs to do something similar as well as the diet & exercise thing.
For the record, I don't think that 1500 calories/day is "extreme" it's a good sensible weight loss plan for normal folk.

^^ for a man 1500 is pretty extreme
