Jonah Hill built his career off making people laugh, but who would have guessed that he's actually a really, really serious guy? Certainly not Rolling Stone! They found out quickly, though, in a new interview with Hill to promote his new film, This Is the End, because it really wasn't long before things got tense:
None
The magazine clarifies that prior to their meeting with Hill, his good friend and This Is the End co-star Seth Rogen—who was also interviewed for the issue, along with James Franco and Danny McBride—warned that Hill "is serious, he is, which I'm not, and neither are Franco or Danny." He didn't have any tips for interviewing him, though, which is a shame because things only got worse from there:
None
The rest of the interview is more of the same, with things only growing tenser and tenser until they come to a head when the interviewer asks:
None
Really, it's fair enough that Hill doesn't want to answer that one. He clearly wants to be taken seriously, as he's made the extremely difficult jump between comedic roles in films like Superbad to an Oscar-nominated role in the 2011 drama Moneyball. He even says it: "I've done one of the biggest challenges you can do in Hollywood, which is transition from being a comedic actor to being a serious actor, and I'm really prideful of that...I could have made a billion dollars doing every big comedy of the last 10 years and didn't, in order to form a whole other life for myself. Now I have fulfillment doing both."
The interview goes on, unfortunately:
None
