Jonah Hill asks fans to ‘stop body-shaming’ him because it ‘doesn’t feel good’ after recent weight loss

: “I think everybody has a version of themselves — I call it, like, a snapshot, let’s say, at some point in your life, of the person you are.

“You’re trying to kind of hide from the world or [it] makes you feel a certain way, and even if you get success or you grow up or you become good-looking or whatever, the things that you think will fix the thing, you kind of carry some part of that with you.

"So, for me, it’s definitely being, like, this 14-year-old kid, being overweight, wanting to fit in with these skaters and hip-hop kids and just feeling lonely and maybe not understanding my own worth.”

He said that he later began to “understand how much [it] hurt” to be called “fat and gross and unattractive” early in his career. “I’m under construction like we all are, you know what I mean? We’re all just trying to figure it out.”
