Facebook is just overridden with slop content, but I’ll never quit it because I need to know which local businesses went under for writing bad checks and/or which of my blood relatives believe in chemtrails. This is my crack. That said, I take everything I see there with massive grains of salt. In this case, a random quote about Jonah Hill touting his fighting skills, which suddenly broke containment in the past 24 hours.
Folks, it is real. Even weirder, it’s from his SmartLess appearance back in April, but apparently people only just now noticed that Hill has a very huge — and some might say concerning — chip on his shoulder from his Superbad days.
The whole thing starts with Jonah talking about how much he loves Brazilian jiu-jitsu to the point where his spouse has to bring him back down to earth. “My wife is often like, ‘You’re not going to become a professional fighter. You know that, right? You’re a comedian.’” You’ll be shocked to learn those words fell on deaf ears.
Not only does Hill say he’d beat the crap out of Jason Bateman if they “got into it,” but he’d also take down Will Arnett and Sean Hayes in the process. From there, it’s just a straight-up open call for anyone to come at me, bro.
Via Complex:
“My favorite thing is people are like, ‘Oh, Jonah Hill, f—-ing fat guy from Superbad,’” Hill continued said. “And I’m like, ‘I would f—-ing annihilate you, dude. I’m not kidding you. Try it. If you see me, try it, dude. Bring it. Who’s got it?’”
Two things:
1. Jonah has been very open his therapy journey, and that’s a brave thing to do. Maybe think about doubling it. Tripling it even perhaps.
2. Considering this video racked up over 25 million views on the app of choice for toxic dudebros, I would not go outside for a while. You’re gonna want to let this thing blow over unless you want to be on the news for karate kicking the air before getting punched out inside a Starbucks. That would be great for me because, oh baby, think of the clicks. Not so great for Jonah though.
If you think Jonah Hill is joking, you can watch the clip below. He is freakishly serious:
