Jonah Hill Reveals His Theory About Instagram: 'It Is the Biggest Killer'

Jonah Hill sat down with director Adam McKay for an interview for GQ magazine.

In the interview, Adam said, “Social media, as we know, has a lot of really dark stuff too. It can be very toxic.”

This caused Jonah to respond with, “I have a real theory on this, if you want to hear it. It might be too real for the people, dude. Okay?”

Jonah told GQ, “So, Instagram. Instagram—as I smoke a cigarette—is the cigarettes of this time. It is the biggest killer. It is death. And I fully participate in it, like I smoke cigarettes. Again, it’s a spectrum of what you find healthy. I have to have really limited interaction with it.”

He added, “And so for me, I’m not dissing anybody. I’ll post a selfie on Instagram. I don’t give a f*ck. I’m just as hypocritical as everybody else. So the point being is it’s all maybe a work in progress to get towards happiness. But the real truth of it is we’re out here selling a movie. You like me, but you can get lunch with me. You’re doing this to help your movie out. I’m doing this because they asked me to be on the cover of a fashion magazine. And ultimately I think that’s cool. My ego is stroked in some way, so I said yes. And cool! Today I’m playing a different game. Maybe tomorrow I’ll be less self-involved.”
