Jonah Hill Says He Will No Longer Promote His New Films, Citing Anxiety Attacks

I would hate to do promotional work for books, movies, songs, etc. I don’t know how celebrities do it, because I would have a major panic attack from all the fake chatter. I could do interviews or act on stage, just not the promotion circus.

I have a funny Jonah Hill story....
I think it was early 2007 (maybe late 2006?) and I was heading to my buddy's house. He lived just south of Hollywood Blvd, east of La Brea. Right adjacent to Hollywood High School. Parking was a bitch and I had to park far away, then hike back up to his place.
As I walked, there happened to be these two twenty-somethings who were just ahead of me, walking in the same direction. One was super fat. The other skinny. A very odd pair for sure.
They were clearly drunk and talking super loud as they bantered and swayed down the street. They were basically Bro-ing out. Telling the other how great the other was. So annoying. But harmless.
I laughed as I walked behind them because, at one point, the fat one kept saying how famous he was going to be. Once "the movie" came out. It was so obnoxious and SO LA. I just assumed he was yet another out of work actor. The skinny one though? His voice seemed familiar. But I couldn't place it.
At any rate, just as I reached my friend's place, I had passed them up. I glanced back and, as I did, I finally placed the skinny one: Michael Cera. The fat annoying one? Jonah Hill. They were talking about Superbad. And Jonah was right. He was about to be famous.
I actually have a spot soft for him after my weird little interaction. It was oddly endearing.

He can act and not do promotion. The problem is people keep conflating the two.
If he wants to be a celeb then he has to do promotion. If he wants to act in a project as a lead with lots of financial backing then he'll probably have to do promotion.

Sister is Beanie Feldstein, actress, who just departed early from playing Fanny Brice (Funny Girl) on Broadway. Reviews had been mixed, anyway. I'm guessing this is what posters upthread have been referring to.
Agree that the promotion (appearing on talk shows) seems outdated and just boring to watch, anyway.
That said, he does seem to be acting like a tender snowflake.

What does fun Lezzie Beanie think 🤔 of Jonah’s ranting homophobia?

Has anyone ever seen Jonah and Beanie at the same time? I thought not. They're the same, horrid person.

Why does Beanie and Jonah has different last names if there related?

Give his work to some other fugster who will promote the films.
PR is why movie stars earn the big bucks.

R96, the story is that Jonah was friend's with Dustin Hoffman's kids in college and brownosed the family into somehow getting his first acting credit in I Heart Huckabees.

I saw him in person years ago introducing a screening of one of his films at the festival. He seemed very shy and modest.
Anyway, good for him and anybody else that doesn't want to participate. I really don't think all the promotional stuff people in the entertainment industry makes much difference on the outcome of viewership, box office and sales.

Speelburg says he allocates 30% of the. budget on promotion.
Now that 30% of tens of millions of dollars!

R150 did Jonah also get yelled at by David O Russell?

Promotion is, quite literally, half the job. The only people that can get away with something like refusing this are major talents like a Daniel Day Lewis, a three time Oscar winner. Jonah will never get an Oscar and he doesn’t really have an audience or fans unless he plays a fat loser in an ensemble comedy, so he pretty much buried his career with this statement. No one will miss him.

If you are a male actor:
You can be ugly and likable (Danny DeVito)
You can be beautiful and likable (Robert Downey Jr.)
You can be beautiful and unlikable (Marlon Brando - although this has to come with a generous helping of professionalism in other departments)
Ugly and unlikable is a hard row to hoe.
It's also a hard row to ho, come to think of it.

I can usually sympathize with anxiety issues as I have had to deal with them throughout my entire life. However. This entitled piece of shit needs to take a Xanax and do the freakin job he was hired to do. THIS IS PART OF THE JOB!

This guy’s whole persona is wrapped around being mean and bitchy, while accusing people provoking him with their meanness and bitchiness. He’s exhausting. Such a victim.

Anxiety attacks affect different people - especially those who can’t sing a Broadway score. My sister comes to mind.

These things are by nature somewhat subjective R160, but RDJ is generally a vivacious, responsive person in interviews and gets on well with costars, fans, the press, etc. You may not find him likable, but a broad range of audiences seem to.
He's also dealt with personal issues without blaming other people or banging on about it in public.

Jonah is a bad as we’re making him out to be, an entitlement fraud with zero range and a MASSIVE and FRAGILE ego that reeks of nasty impulses. It’s ironic he’s “not doing pr because of mental health” because he drove everyone insane when he barely DID saunter into the junket rooms to blame and cry foul about everything. He and his non-charisma sister are two of the most dreadful energies you will ever encounter. These are foot stomping rage babies who ALWAYS want to take ALL of the craft services items home after “working” their easy peasy production day. CUNTS!

Typically at least an additional third of a film’s budget is a spent post-production for advertising, which why a film needs to make 2-3 times its reported budget to turn a profit. I think one of the highest grossing Harry Potter movies is still in the red. Lots of creative accounting going on.
Sending actors and their entourages around the world on junkets and publicity tours, paying for their stylists and assistants, TV spots, newspaper ads, hiring venues for press meetings, trailers, billboards cost mega bucks. Jennifer Lawrence isn’t taking her stylist and her Dior gowns to a Travelodge.
It seems insanely wasteful but it works. It’s why filmmakers complaint that they can make a film for $2 million or $82 million but it is difficult to raise money for a $22 million film. Distributors won’t spend an extra $5 million on advertising to make a small profit on a mid-list drama when they can spend an extra $30 million and make blockbuster dough.

So those are two different issues.
Generally speaking, a film needs to make back 2 times its budget to cover its production costs, as cinemas keep approximately half. Then there's the marketing budget on top.
The creative accounting is used to make sure the studios don't have to pay out on royalty or profit-sharing deals, etc. So the Potter film, even with its marketing costs, absolutely made a profit for WB. They just don't want to have to share that profit with anyone.
