Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lauren London & 'You People' Cast Weigh In On Jonah Hill's Choice To Skip Press For Movie Due To Mental Health

The cast of You People walk the black carpet together for official premiere, held at Regency Village Theatre on Tuesday night (January 17) in Los Angeles.

Lauren London met up with Eddie Murphy, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, David Duchovny, Andrea Savage, Elliott Gould, Sam Jay, Molly Gordon, Nia Long, Travis Bennett, and director Kenya Barris all gathered up for group photos in support of the premiere.

Noticeably missing was star Jonah Hill, who made the announcement that he wouldn’t be doing any press or walking any red carpets for his movies last year.

“You won’t see me out there promoting this film, or any of my upcoming films, while I take this important step to protect myself,” he shared at the time when Stutz came out. “If I made myself sicker by going out there and promoting it, I wouldn’t be acting true to myself or to the film.”

Lauren, David and Julia were very much in support of Jonah‘s decision.

“For us to pretend that we’re stronger than others and we can handle more, that’s unfair. I hold space for Jonah Hill. That’s my homeboy,” Lauren told Variety. “I love him and whatever he needs to do for his soul, I am there for it.”

Julia added, “You have to protect yourself and do what feels right to you…I want to get out there and support the project because we worked really hard on this, but at the end of the day I’m going to go home and be with my family.”

“It’s [his] prerogative. I’d love not to do press, too. It’s very exteriorizing,” David chimed in. “You come out of yourself. It’s very un-real, but it’s just part of the game.”

You People will be out in theaters on Friday, January 20, before its’ Netflix debut on January 27.
