“I’m 37 and I finally love and accept myself.”
Jonah Hill has just written a lovely response to a tabloid article after they posted pictures of him surfing on the beach.

Jonah shared the Daily Mail story about him in Malibu with the caption: “I don’t think I ever took my shirt off in the pool before I was in my early 30s, even in front of family and friends. It probably would have happened before, if my childhood insecurities have not been exacerbated by years of public mockery about my body by the press and interviewers. “
“So the idea that the media is trying to play me, chasing me while surfing and printing pictures like this, and it can’t shake me anymore sucks,” he continued. “I’m 37 and I finally love and accept myself.”
“This is not a ‘good for me’ post. And it’s definitely not a ‘feel bad for me’. It is for children who do not take their shirt off in the pool. Have a good time. You are wonderful, incredible and perfect. With all my love. “
“Oh, and the Daily Mail,” he concluded, “even you can’t get that smile off my face.”
In addition, if Twitter serves as a reference, many people liked your message:
All power to Jonah Hill for fucking M * il and resuming the narrative for him and his body.
And this is not the first time that Jonah is candid about his body image. Last year, he told GQ that people never took his style seriously because of his weight, and that “It’s very difficult when you are overweight to wear a certain way, because clothes are not made for people who are overweight for style. “
And I, for example, think that we could all have a much better time on this earth if we loved and accepted each other!
