He’s king of the Hill.
Jonah Hill looked unrecognizable as he shot scenes for his upcoming movie, “Cut Off,” in Los Angeles, California, on Monday, Oct. 6.
The 41-year-old actor was photographed alongside his co-star, Kristen Wiig, and showed off his impressive slimmed-down frame while stepping in and out of his trailer between takes.
Sporting a tight leopard-print turtleneck tucked into skinny jeans, the “Superbad” star accompanied the outfit with a black belt that highlighted his waist.
Hill, who wrote and is directing the new comedy, completed his ’70s look with a blond wig and glasses.
Wiig, meanwhile, dressed for the part as well and was photographed in a teal lace bra with a purple shirt tucked into tight red leggings.
The “Saturday Night Live” alum, 52, completed her “Cut Off” ensemble with a pink skirt and black belt.
Hill’s weight has fluctuated regularly over the years, and he opened up about the matter during an appearance on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” back in 2018.
“I became famous in my late teens and then spent most of my young adult life listening to people say that I was fat and gross and unattractive,” the “Wolf of Wall Street” star said while reading from an essay about self-love and self-image at the time.
“I really believe everyone has a snapshot of themselves from a time when they were young that they’re ashamed of,” he continued. “For me, it’s that 14-year-old overweight and unattractive kid who felt ugly to the world, who listened to hip-hop and who wanted so badly to be accepted by this community of skaters.”
More recently, Hill asked that people not make comments about his body in a since-deleted Instagram post from 2021.
“I know you mean well but I kindly ask that you not comment on my body,” he wrote with a heart emoji, per People. “Good or bad I want to politely let you know it’s not helpful and doesn’t feel good. Much respect.”
One year later, the “Get Him to the Greek” actor revealed that he no longer wanted to do press tours or promo events for projects due to anxiety and panic attacks.
“I have come to the understanding that I have spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks,” he wrote in an open letter at the time, “which are exacerbated by media appearances and public-facing events.”
Hill previously surprised fans with his unrecognizable look in August 2023, shortly after his ex-girlfriend, Sarah Brady, alleged that he emotionally abused her during their relationship.
The “Don’t Look Up” star showed off a slimmer figure at the time while out and about in Malibu with his tattoos on full display.
As for “Cut Off,” the upcoming flick follows a pair of entitled twins (Hill and Wiig) whose rich parents abruptly cut them off from financial support, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Bette Midler and Nathan Lane round out the cast as the pair’s onscreen parents, and the Warner Bros. comedy is reportedly scheduled to release on July 17, 2026.
