What has Jonah Hill said about his shirtless picture?
In an Instagram post from Saturday, February 27, Hill slammed the Daily Mail and accused the outlet of trying to body-shame him after publishing photos of the actor shirtless after surfing.
He wrote: "I don't think I ever took my shirt off in a pool until I was in my mid 30s even in front of family and friend.
"Probably would have happened sooner if my childhood insecurities weren't exacerbate by years of public mockery about my body by press and interviewers," the actor wrote.
"So the idea that the media tries to play me by stalking me while surfing and printing photos like this and it can’t phase me anymore is dope.
"I'm 37 and finally love and accept myself. This isn't a 'good for me' post.
"And it’s definitely not a 'feel bad for me post'. It’s for the the kids who don’t take their shirt off at the pool. Have fun. You’re wonderful and awesome and perfect. All my love," Hill added.
"Oh and Daily Mail, not even you can take that smile from my face ;)."

Speaking on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon earlier this year, he quipped: “I gained weight for this movie War Dogs, and then I wanted to get in better shape, so I called Channing Tatum, and said, ‘Hey, if I ate less and go to a trainer, will I get in better shape?’
“And he said, ‘Yes, you dumb motherf****r, of course, you will, it’s the simplest thing in the entire world’.”
