Jonah Hill was on Conan yesterday and he told the TBS late night what it was like to film the Oscar nominated movie, The Wolf of Wall Street. First the actor talked about the private jet orgy scene and how he got to know the woman that faked going down on him. Let’s just say, being a fluffer in a non-porn has the opposite effect than someone who does the job in adult entertainment.
Then after he told us about that scene, he shared with Conan O’Brien what happened when he filmed the goldfish eating scene. At first they wouldn’t let him do it because animal groups didn’t approve of killing an innocent goldfish. Eventually they had three animal trainers come to the set and they told him how to do it so he wouldn’t kill the carnival prize. Basically he had to put the guppy in his mouth for 3 seconds and then he spit it out into some water. Well, the goldfish didn’t approve of even three seconds because as soon as he put it in his mouth, it relieved itself while it was in there. That was his way of saying this is bullsh!t, and I can’t blame the little guy.
So now that you know how far Jonah Hill went for this role, do you think he deserves an Oscar for it? Sure Jared Leto starved himself, but what creature sh!t in mouth during the making of Dallas Buyers Club? Bradley Cooper got a bad perm for American Hustle, but again did he get a mouth full of poop while filming American Hustle? And that is why I think Hill deserves the Oscar after Jared Leto. Sorry Leto deserves it hands down.
BTW talking about poop, here is a funny bit from Conan yesterday!
Jonah Hill was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and the ABC late night host wanted to know if that was him in that scene from The Wolf of Wall Street or did he pull Marky Mark ala Boogie Nights. Up until yesterday’s appearance, he hadn’t talked about if his pen!s made an appearance in the movie because he saved that answer for Kimmel.
The actor knew that scene was coming and he couldn’t wait to see the prosthetic the prop department got for him to wear in the movie. He was hoping for something impressive, but all he got was a crappy Dildo. So he wanted to know from director Martin Scorsese how it was going to work in the movie because it looked so bad in person. Scorsese assured him that they would fix it in post and as we know they did.
I wonder how many actors will be doing nude scenes thanks to much needed help from CGI!
People announced today that Channing Tatum is their Sexiest Man Alive this year and his 21 Jump Street co-star gives the choice his wet seal of his approval. Jonah Hill Tweeted the above picture and said ‘@channingtatum you’ve always been the sexiest man alive to me! (Congrats pal!)” By looking at the photo we can see he means it. So much so I wonder what it will be like when film the sequel to the shockingly enjoyable movie. Hill will probably be like he is on HFS when Magic Mike walks into the room.
Now when it come to People’s decision, I get it because both 21 Jump Street and Magic Mike exceeded what they were supposed to do at the Box Office. Does that mean I agree? Nope. While I really like the buddy cop movie, Magic Mike was the worst film I saw this year in the theaters. And even though he had great moves, whenever there was a strip dancing scene in the movie my eyes always went to Matt Bomer. And my friend that I was with felt the same way. When it comes to who else could’ve held the title this year, I am honestly at a lost. So I guess People did OK with their choice. What do you think of their Sexiest Man Alive?
While most grandmother’s would be bragging that their grandkid is in a Martin Scorsese film, Jonah Hill told David Letterman on The Late Show that it’s the opposite for him. When he told her that his playing a “drug addicted stock broker who cheats people out of money”, she got quiet and then told her grandson she didn’t like it. So when he asked her what he should do, she told him to ask Scorsese to give him a different role. That is a tough decision for him: defy his grandmother or stand up to one of the greatest directors ever. I guess we will have to wait until The Wolf of Wall Street comes out to find out what he did.
Before Jonah Hill had a modern family on Allen Gregory, he had an old fashioned one in I Heart Huckabees. He looks the same now as he did when he was 20 in that 2004 movie.
