Actor Jonah Hill Slams Media for ‘Mocking and Body-Shaming Him

Jonah Hill recently took to his Instagram to call out UK tabloid, Daily Mail, for making a post about him, with a headline read: “Jonah Hill slips into his black wetsuit for surf day in Malibu… before showing off his tattoos while going shirtless to towel himself off.”

In his post, Hill noted the years of body-shaming he had endured, how he never felt safe taking off his shirt in public because of the endless mockery. “I don’t think I ever took my shirt off in a pool until I was in my mid-30s even in front of family and friends,” he wrote on his Instagram, adding, “” Probably would have happened sooner if my childhood insecurities weren’t exacerbated by years of public mockery about my body by press and interviewers.”

Hill continued, “So the idea that the media tries to play me by stalking me while surfing and printing photos like this and it can’t phase me anymore is dope. I’m 37 and finally love and accept myself. This isn’t a ‘good for me’ post. And it’s definitely not a ‘feel bad for me post. It’s for the kids who don’t take their shirt off at the pool. Have fun. You’re wonderful and awesome and perfect. All my love. Oh and Daily Mail, not even you can take that smile from my face ;)”
