That Time Jonah Hill Fell in Love on a Plane

Jonah Hill may be a two-time Academy Award-nominated actor — how did that even happen? — but that hasn’t helped his love life.

On the most recent episode of The Graham Norton Show to promote “The Wolf of Wall Street,” Hill was asked to tell the story about the time he “tried to have sexytime on a plane.”

Hill insisted that was not the case, explaining that he actually fell in love with his seatmate on the flight, a tragic tale which ended in heartbreak, and no deals being sealed.

Celebrities, they’re just like us — but not really. Mazel tov on the nomination Jonah! Our fingers are crossed.
