Jonah Hill is ready to “be funny in front of a crowd” again after taking time out from Hollywood.
In August 2022, the Academy Award-nominated actor announced that he wouldn’t be promoting any of his films as a result of having “spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks”.<\/p>\n
But on Saturday, Hill made a surprise appearance at the taping of SiriusXM’s SmartLess Live event in Los Angeles, which was hosted by Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes.<\/p>\n
Addressing the crowd, the Superbad star explained that he has a different mindset now.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been gone for a while, so I’m kind of coming back and I’m like excited because I got all, like, serious for a while and I wasn’t as happy,” he said, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “And then I had my family and I got happy, and now all I want to do is be funny again. That’s why I said yes (to being on SmartLess). I’m, like, I want to go f**king be funny in front of a crowd and that’d be awesome.”<\/p>\n
In addition, Hill credited moving away from Los Angeles with his wife Olivia Millar and their two young children around three years ago as a turning point.<\/p>\n
“I live in a very small town in San Diego, and it’s amazing, and my neighbours are incredible people,” the 42-year-old continued. “I wanted to leave L.A. and raise a family outside of Los Angeles.”<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the chat, Hill also noted that becoming a parent has informed his desire to get back into the entertainment industry. The Moneyball actor recently confirmed he had and Millar had wed, with the pair sharing a three-year-old son and new baby.<\/p>\n
“If you’re bummed, you don’t feel like being that funny, right? The first thing I thought about when I had my kids and was so stoked, it was like I connected to back when I was just like 12 and I was just being funny for fun,” he added. “That’s the thing I fell in love with my whole life.”<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, Hill released the comedy movie Outcome, which he co-wrote, directed and stars in. The film, also starring Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer, is now streaming on Apple TV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
