10 Things Jonah Hill Can't Live Without | GQ

[Music] hello gq my name is jonah hill and these are my essentials [Music] my first essential kiwi guava sparkling energy drink i might just be like the biggest mark for marketing of all time but it's like a health food red bull so there's like vitamins and they sell at like health food stores but i think it's just like really well marketed drink with a ton of caffeine in it and everyone thinks i own it because whenever you work with me i like get people hooked on celsius my greatest achievement was this movie i did don't look up by the end of the movie leo jennifer lawrence meryl streep and mark rylance were all hooked on celsius so if y'all want to send me a bunch of i don't own the company or anything like that i just am a fan i need to like wake up and do my job i don't even drink coffee anymore i call director juice it's great my next essential is my little jonah directing starter pack so everywhere i go on set i have my celsius i have my turquoise american spirits which is not a good one that i'm trying to like recommend to people i should quit as i'm 37 years old but i haven't as of yet and i'm just keeping it real with you guys have you tried switching to vape kind of i call them mouth fedoras has leo heard you say mouth fedoras yes i don't dis what anyone does to find personal fulfillment so if you vape respect but like i think of vapes as mouth fedoras the hydroflask is i don't drink enough water so i carry this with me and i try and drink like two of them a day but i kind of suck at it so it's mostly just like a reminder of how much i suck i love putting stickers on things this is strong baby which is my production company and i love all the peeps that work there so shout out to the strong baby productions crew and then i always wear this bucket hat when i'm directing i love it and then the most important part is music so like one of the things people don't do on sets is they don't create like a vibe and so i was like well when i direct and if i ever get to direct movies i'm asking these people to give like the hours of their life to being here and i want them to be like i had fun i am always playing music out of this this is the main event it's a bang olufsen thing but it has the strap you can be walking anywhere even like hanging with the actors or talking to the crew and you can bring the vibe with you everywhere you go another thing is smell like it really smells bad most places you're shooting so i really like this incense so i like to bring it's called i don't know how to pronounce the company astier de villate i ain't fancy so i don't know how to pronounce it but i know how to smell it it's good it like if there's music and it smells good and you're kind of laughing and dancing and like kind of having fun even if you're making a serious ass movie i don't think people know this unless you make movies like it's straight-up porta-potties everywhere at your job all the time when i say it smells like like it actually smells like at work after like 15 years i was like maybe it'd be cool if it didn't smell like every day my next one is this so this is a ring i wear every day and it's a strong baby ring so my older sister dana she has a company called the ten jewelry at th e one zero jewelry follow him on instagram family business and she's so ill she can make you anything so i just was like i want to make a strong baby ring and i kind of center the drawing and this is what she came up with and she's so sick and i wear it all the time love her love love at the tan jewelry i don't make any money off it by the way [Music] next essential item is stickers i always have stickers with me i love stickers i like to make stickers for things that are even like inside jokes this is a strong baby sticker which is like our company obviously and then surf juice california is an inside joke my friends who got me into surfing were spike jones and and mike diamond from beastie boys but when i started doing research on surf culture in malibu there was a big surf nazi culture it's almost like irony poisoning you know kind of like 80s surf culture but like basically all their dads fought in world war ii against the nazis so they were being punk and like our parents so we're gonna be surf nazis but then of course irony like seeps into there's a great new york times article that will explain a lot better than me but i was obviously like like all this classic malibu surf imagery has like swastikas on it which is so gnarly and up so i was like yo we should start serve jews so there's all this imagery of like opposite of a swastika essentially it's really fun and funny and silly and not meant to be serious in the slightest so i'm sure i'll get canceled for being having a jewish star or yin yang or something but like i don't know it's all just to have a good time [Applause] [Music] my next essential item so this is my wetsuit for the summer because it's it's got the arms cut off which is great tank top style my friends say i look like like an old-timey boxer and this is axe ax xxe this is a japanese company and they're so sick they make my favorite wetsuits i don't know how deep you want to go into this but like [Music] this is my next essential item mr zog's coconut sex wax it's awesome it smells really good i love the way it smells green's my favorite color so i gravitate towards green things it's pretty iconic and then it's also good and smells good which is like i like smell hydrating argan oil mask this is a good cutting move for you guys at home anyone who like bleaches their hair with their hair a lot i bleach my hair a lot and i'm in the ocean a lot so it gets all like dark brown like frizzy you know like christopher lloyd in back to the future so you just start in after you surf or take a shower and then you leave it in and you're good to go it smells good and it leaves you feeling like silky smooth you know can you like mime how you would apply it no dude i'm not doing that you do it [Music] okay now we're getting in the serious stuff jiu jitsu my man shooting this is a purple belt so we got to give him some love over there this is one of my favorite geese shout out to bear from show your role show your rules the i hit a point in my life in my like early mid 30s where i was like if i don't start like developing hobbies and i'm gonna be one of those people that only likes to work and i can fall into the workaholic category so i was like wouldn't it be cool if the things i chose were things i was really scared of my whole life so the first one was jiu jitsu josh at clockwork who's an amazing guy and then also kenny florian who's an amazing guy i was lucky enough to train with such great people got me over that fear and then that led to me breaking my fear of surfing i think the hardest thing in the world to do is to be present for me and the two things i like to do if you are not present you will literally get up so like it forces me to be present both things and jiu jitsu definitely you will literally get choked out if you're thinking about like some you did two years ago that you're bummed about you know i learned early on if i roll in a class everyone wants the story of i choked out jonah hill i had to learn fast like it's a story to basically beat the out of me so i was like i'm also gonna pull up in a peach gee so like you know i'm just whatever dude i'm not trying to be like a tough guy i just am out here having fun and most of the time i gotta say culturally people have been really really cool my last essential is my surfboard this is what i'm currently riding shout out to 88 surfboards i like riding foamies i'm only two years into surfing whenever i ride a foamy i go for more waves i feel more like if i up or if something bad happens i'm not gonna hurt anyone or hurt myself what i love about 88 is you should watch their videos their whole ethic is having fun they're like serious aussie surfers that grew up in all the harshness of surf culture they can rip on anything but they're like we just want to have fun and ride foamies i just like life is so serious like i just want to try and have a good time and smile so this is my boy mike d named it ron burgundy so this is ron burgundy thanks gq thanks for having me thanks for everyone who watched this and i hope this made you smile [Music]

I like Jonah, I think he's taking it lightly.
I do think these "so and so's favorite things" videos are kinda cringy anyway.

[u/dumbassthenes]

I was a bit of a bully when I was in high school.

Of course, I didn't think I was at the time. Because I had my own shit going on that was causing my behavior.

But, one time, years after I'd graduated, I ran into a woman who called me out. She laid it out for me and I couldn't deny it.

I was mean. I was cruel. Not to everyone. But to some.

I tried to use that realization to make me a more kind person. I thought I could move past my trauma and become a better human being.

Then I watched this video.

what the fuck

My first essential: Celsius kiwi guava sparkling energy drink. I might just be, like, the biggest mark for marketing of all time..but it's like a health food/Redbull.

So there's like vitamins and they sell it at like health food stores.. but I think it's just like a really well marketed drink with a ton of caffeine in it. and everyone thinks I own it because whenever you work with me I, like, get people hooked on Celsius.

My greatest achievement was this movie I did, "Don't Look Up". By the end of the movie: Leo, Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep, and Mark Rylance were all hooked on Celsius so.... if y'all wanna send me a bunch of shit I don't own the company or anything like that I just need this shit to wake up and do my job.

I don't even drink coffee anymore.

I call it director juice.

The dudes just a poser. Like how he made a skate movie and was suddenly a huge skate nerd that grew up skating but theres no footage of him ever on a board, made his money and now he's on to surfing. Bleached his hair and everything

2 years and still on a foamie? Fire your manager, Jonah.

[u/JuanitaDarc]

Be nice he’s probably on this sub

[u/nocturnalanimal69]

I thought the interview was fine. You have to remember Jonah Hill was type cast for years as a the fat loser. The guy is literally just trying to enjoy life at this point in his career and constantly has people bringing up “the change in direction of his career.” It’s probably exhausting constantly having to explain your success to people who thought you’d never be capable of such. He probably got paid your yearly salary for this interview. There are a lot more things to get upset about than a 10 minute video of someone 10x more successful than yourself. Hollywood culture is all a big weird sham in its own way. I imagine there are a lot of people who feel that same way you do about this interview, but for other interviews of celebrities, where they are just trying to be genuine.

[u/wolffartz]

eh this video just makes me like jonah more.

he's not making any claims about his skill, he's just nerding out on this shit that he just got into in a positive way. good for him.
