The Wolf Of The Wal Street

While the black comedy The Wolf Of The Wal Street was based on the theme of stock markets and the life of a billionaire stockbroker essayed by Leonardo DiCaprio, it would have been incomplete without Jonah. He added the humour to this film about frauds, money and luxury. In Martin Scorsese’s film, Belfort (Leonardo) and Azoff (Jonah) start a brokerage firm named Stratton Oakmont. They rake in illegal millions and live a life that everyone imagines of. Jonah's presence in the film was a remarkable move made by Martin.

The 40-Year-Old Virgin

In Judd Apatow’s The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Hill had a small yet impactful role. He essayed the role of a confused shopper at the strange store and his fight to acquire a pair of silver shoes is hilarious. His conversations with Steve Carell and the owner of the store Trish Piedmont (Catherine Keener) was Jonah, a young kid at his absolute best. Jonah Hill Turns Down Robert Pattinson’s Batman Movie, Did Warner Bros Reject His $10 Million Demand for the Villain Role?
