Jonah Hill shows off dramatic weight loss as denim outfit hangs loosely on his thin frame on set of new film in LA

by

Jonah Hill was seen with a noticeably slimmer physique while filming his new movie, Cut Off, in Los Angeles, continuing to showcase his impressive weight loss journey.

The actor, 41, was wearing a full denim outfit while preparing for a scene. The clothes seemed a bit too big for his slender build.

He arrived on set wearing a loose, denim shirt and dark-wash jeans with the cuffs rolled up.

Afterward, he was spotted in the same clothes while having his hair and makeup applied, preparing to become his character before putting on the costume.

Fans were surprised earlier this week when the actor showed up on set looking dramatically thinner. It was hard to recognize him due to his significant weight loss.

Hill recently began filming *Cut Off*, a project where he’s the director, producer, co-writer, and main actor.

The upcoming movie boasts a stellar cast, featuring celebrated actors like Kristen Wiig, Bette Midler, and Nathan Lane.

The movie features Kristen Wiig and Jonah Hill as two spoiled siblings who are cut off financially by their parents.

Cut Off is slated for release next summer and will premiere on July 17, 2026. 

The actor, who lost 40 pounds back in 2011, shared that he achieved the weight loss over a decade ago by working with a nutritionist and focusing on physical exercise instead of dwelling on emotional issues, as he explained on the Kidd Kraddick in the Morning show.

In his 2022 documentary, *Stutz*, Jonah Hill discussed how being famous and dealing with public scrutiny impacted how he felt about his body.

‘The media kept being really brutal about my weight,’ he said at the time. 

People seemed to constantly target my weaknesses, and it really bothered me. It made me incredibly defensive, almost expecting someone to say something hurtful. I often felt really angry about it.

He explained that it prevented him from overcoming his negative self-image and personal growth.

In the Netflix documentary, he talked with his therapist, Phil Stutz, about his ups and downs with weight.

The director of Winning Time remembers growing up with exercise and diet being presented as a way to fix a perceived flaw in one’s appearance.

No one ever explained exercise and healthy eating as ways to improve my mental wellbeing, and I wish they did. It would be helpful if that connection was made more often.

Hill has spoken openly about how being overweight as a child deeply affected his self-esteem. He still struggles with those feelings, describing an internal experience of feeling like an insecure, adolescent version of himself – overweight, dealing with acne, and believing he wasn’t attractive to others.

I still struggle with feeling unlovable deep down,” Hill shared. “But I’m slowly starting to accept and even appreciate who I am, though it’s a difficult process.

He first talked about this back in October 2018 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, sharing a passage from his magazine, Inner Children. In it, he revealed he was often called ‘gross and unattractive’ when he was younger.

During an appearance on a talk show, he shared his belief that everyone carries a memory of a past, embarrassing moment from their youth.

He explained that, for him, it all came down to remembering being a 14-year-old who felt self-conscious about his weight and appearance. He connected with hip-hop and desperately wanted to be part of the skateboarding world and feel accepted.
