Actor Jonah Hill is undoubtedly one of the funniest and most entertaining actors in Hollywood. Hill is best remembered for the famous film series in which he starred in “On the Way to the Wedding Stop in Vegas” and “The Hangover”, and also starred in “The Wolf of Wall Street”. But under the funny mask, it turns out that Hill suffers from severe depression.
Hill created a documentary called “Stutz”, which was uploaded to “Netflix” yesterday (Monday), in which he confronts his anxieties in an intimate conversation with Stutz – in which Hill is the character who raises the questions. This is one of the most personal projects of the actor, who announced last summer that he is stopping promoting his new films in order to focus on his mental health.
The documentary features intimate and unusual encounters between Hill and Stutz that abandon the familiar script and dynamics of the therapist-patient relationship. In the film, Hill opened up about the lack of self-confidence he faced when it came to his appearance, as part of a struggle that “screwed up” his life, as he put it.

Hill sheds light on Stutz’s approach to mental health and reveals the factors that led him to seek help. The actor approached Stutz “out of desperation to be happier”, according to him. Hill added: “I didn’t have a healthy self-esteem. Growing up overweight doesn’t sound like a big deal, but for me personally it knocked me out.”
He says about the past that “knocked” him off: “I didn’t have confidence in me as a human being. I didn’t invest in myself and I didn’t understand how to love myself. I just worked to achieve this thing, which is your idea of a ‘snapshot.'” I thought that success and awards I will be relieved of the pain of life, so I worked very hard to achieve this. It didn’t cure anything but made me beyond depressed. At the same time, the media continued to be really cruel about my weight. It was kind of a free-for-all to hit my sweet spot. I was so angry. It prevented me from feeling any sense of being able to grow beyond negative thoughts about myself.”
“I made this film because I want to give therapy and pass the tools I got in therapy to as many people as possible,” said Jonah, “I love the life these tools have allowed me to have. It doesn’t matter what people think of the film, it’s just important that we finished him together.”
