Jonah Hill is making a request to his followers. The 37-year-old actor took to Instagram Wednesday to kindly ask his fans to keep their comments on his body, good or bad, to themselves.
“I know you mean well but I kindly ask that you not comment on my body ❤️ good or bad,” The Wolf of Wall Street actor shared. “I want to politely let you know it’s not helpful and doesn’t feel good. Much respect.”
Hill’s post was met with plenty of love in the comments, with celebs like SZA, Saturday Night Live’s Aidy Bryant and more advocating for the actor to make his wishes about how he wants his body to be discussed known.
“Absolutely Love you. Thank you !! ❤️,” Sza wrote. “✅,” Bryant added. With Olivia Munn simply commenting, “❤️.”

Hill’s fans had their own messages of support to share as well, with one user writing, “So much respect for you writing this Jonah. Nobody has any right to comment on your body, it is sacred to you and let’s focus on your absolutely incredible acting and projects that you are doing constantly”
And another adding,”This is good advice for everyone!”
This isn’t the first time Hill has spoken about his body and the insecurities he’s faced throughout his life. In February, Hill took to Instagram to share that after years of being insecure about his body, he “finally” loves and accepts himself.
“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,” Hill wrote alongside a screenshot of a Daily Mail article with photos of him surfing and shirtless. “Probably would have happened sooner if my childhood insecurities weren’t exacerbated by years of public mockery about my body by press and interviewers.”
“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,” he admitted. “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.”
He concluded by writing, “Have fun. You’re wonderful and awesome and perfect. All my love.”
