I love Jonah Hill's vulnerability, humility and insight. He has range. He didn't hit my radar until "Moneyball." I remember thinking, "Who IS this guy?? Not the Apatow kid?" Yes, the Apatow kid.
I discovered this channel a while ago and love it. It's refreshing to see such candid (and unedited) interviews with talent in the industry. I download the audio and listen to them in the car. My two cents; I think the reason some of the interviewees get a little frustrated (as Jonah did at the end here) is because of the length. They are perhaps not used to being interviewed in this style. It's intimate, and quite intense. Also, Jonah looked exhausted. One of the best channels on UA-cam. Keep up the good work. P.S. Paul Thomas anytime in the future?
I couldnt take my eyes off him in wolf of Wall Street . Especially in his qiueter scenes. Hes gripping ! I really love his acting. He Overflows with talent 💚
I think Jonah's performances in Moneyball, Cyrus and The Wolf have shown the range and capabilities that Jonah has to offer. I admit I was surprise, not in I way that I believed that Jonah only had comedy chops and could't create full formed characters, but surprised like wow this guy is amazing, these characters are complex and represent what looks like a lot of research, development, and talent. I think DP/30 was trying to get Jonah to discuss whether are not he believed that the actor Jonah from Superbad era was an person capable of creating a character like Danny in The Wolf, or whether it was a conscious decision to not get 'type-cast'. Or in fact was it the natural evolution of his career. I for one would have not been surprised if Jonah was turning out great comedy performances each year, and I would have been totally happy and stoked with that. But it is even better and awesome that he is able to be involved in great films where he can do to totally different places.
I did not like this interviewer at all. To me it seemed like he was trying to get one thing out of Jonah, whether or not he was making movies for fame. Honestly I think Jonah is just trying to forward his career in a positive way and what actor, or any other person wouldn't want to do that. Jonah seems like a smart guy and is really talented and is going somewhere with his career. Good for him.
Thank you, sir, for explaining the useful tool of joke while also explicitly expressing its limitations of what could be sensed in feeling prolonging joke.
I was trying to guide him somewhere I was interested in and he felt we'd been there and wasn't quite going with me... happens... he couldn't have been more polite, both to me and my cameraperson. He succinctly laid out exactly what I was trying to get him to lay out in the conversation... right after the camera stopped. I think all the ideas are in this interview, but he said it so cleanly and beautifully 30 seconds after we stopped that I wanted to shoot myself. That happens often too.
DP/30 I can understand Jonah's frustration though. Love this channel and very much appreciate the free interviews but having listened to a lot of your videos, I've noticed your questions can often be very vague and confusing. More open ended and difficult to interpret rather than being succinct and relative. There's been occasions where the interviewees, not unlike Jonah, react confused or frustrated because the questions sometimes lack any clarity or seem repetitive. I understand you're going for a 'natural conversational' approach but I keep noticing a certain futility in your hazy questioning.
***** Kinda like... a conversation. That is the style. That is the goal. It's not always successful. It's certainly not always consistent. If you think I am happy with myself every time I get up from the chair at the end, you'd be wrong. But there is a method to my madness - no pre-interview, no set questions, no set boundaries for any conversation - and overall, I am quite happy with the results.
DP/30 yeah true - i just don't think i would have the balls to say something like "so is this what you were "expecting" to be the big hollywood star" - we all knew the answer without the question" - yeah so long as you're learning from your mistakes as we all are in life - like i say it's a great channel and you know i've been here a while - not many people get 30 minute interviews thats the channels main selling point - it least ya not as repetitive as jakestakes was in his interviews always throwing in the same gags - but obvious questions do tend to have obvious answers. i tend to come here hoping for new stories about past films - tho always curious about the new one at hand.
I am surprised there are lot of negative comments about the interviewer. For me I can clearly tell Jonah was very low energy in this interview for whatever reason. I don't think that can be put on the interviewer who's technique has produced excellent interviews in the past.
look, to me only dick cavett could do a commensurate job interviewing. this style allows for spontaneity and the conversation to move where it may... it may not always lead to an exact location but this is probably as real as you're going to get these people on camera for an interview.. they're not guarding themselves from accusation or being misquoted "or worse, being quoted exactly", it's an actual dialogue. and holy shit in 50 years the historical importance of the collection of interviews here...
+Troels Lychau look up DP/30. The "interviewer" David Poland has done tons of these interviews. This is an actual show he produced. He's even a member of the Press. That's just the way he talks.
Cannot understand how this channel doesnt have millions of views? If you really want to see an actors perspective, this is THE place to go.
instablaster...
He seems so serious in this interview.
It's great to see how much more there is to this guy, I always though of him as just a comedic actor :)
this interview is going in circles ...
I love Jonah Hill's vulnerability, humility and insight. He has range. He didn't hit my radar until "Moneyball." I remember thinking, "Who IS this guy?? Not the Apatow kid?" Yes, the Apatow kid.
He had a tiny part in 40-year-old Virgin, but he stuck in the audience's mind. He's very likeable.
Whoever is doing the interviewing needs to take a happy pill
I like this interviewer; he asks good questions and he manages to create an easygoing conversation without fawning over the interviewee.
did you watch this interview???

Such a lovely, humble, down to earth guy. Brilliant actor, one of my favourites.
The questions were repetitive, I can understand Jonah's comment. Xx

11:48 "Working with Phil Hoffman"
This interview wasn't long before Hoffman's abrupt passing
What an amazing co-star Jonah had
Cyrus is a brilliant film. The direction in it is amazing.
Thank you, sir, for explaining the useful tool of joke while also explicitly expressing its limitations of what could be sensed in feeling prolonging joke.
Please get another interview with Scott Wilson! Honestly, he's one of the best actors out there!
very good channel. what is it like meeting all these actors?
I don't know why but I like Jonah he is so nice and funny and he can play someone who is the opposite of him
Jonah seemed kind of rude at the end especially when he said "haven't you been listening?"
I was trying to guide him somewhere I was interested in and he felt we'd been there and wasn't quite going with me... happens... he couldn't have been more polite, both to me and my cameraperson.
He succinctly laid out exactly what I was trying to get him to lay out in the conversation... right after the camera stopped. I think all the ideas are in this interview, but he said it so cleanly and beautifully 30 seconds after we stopped that I wanted to shoot myself. That happens often too.

G0wd13 gowd you hit the nail on the head - i like the channel but sometimes the questions are weird, personal and repetitive.

It's ok to also be happy in the now ! Great job Mr Hill
he's nice.
So humble, while he completely stole Wolf of Wall Street. I think of that movie, I think of Donnie.
He says "you know" a lot. A lot.
Now that I've mentioned it, try not to notice.
Didn't notice, Ya know?
At least ask what was the motivation for the character w/ veneer teeth.
He looks a bit similar to Bastian Pastewka. A famous german comedian.
nice guy, but so guarded...
I think he got more angry here than he did with Edgar Wright.
17:24 hahahaaha

First question was shit and a passive aggressive insult that just snowballed.....
the people on camera always look at the interviewer like "wtf kind of question is this??". hes terrible.
Fucking great actor.
jonah hill takes himself too seriously. sometimes he's nice + other times it's really clear he isn't very self-aware and is pretty into himself
still think this way?

I like Jonah - what is up with the interviewer? - seems kind of sociopathic - who rights the questions?
26:20
You know?
I dunno.
Whats with the agenda of conversation towards the end....kinda irritated me
Terrible interviewer. No need to elaborate on the fact either. Just purely terrible.
Whoa, now that's a double chin!
The interviewer seems quite nervous, perhaps one of the first interviews hehe :)
+Troels Lychau look up DP/30. The "interviewer" David Poland has done tons of these interviews. This is an actual show he produced. He's even a member of the Press. That's just the way he talks.
Jonah in real life is actually a lot like Donny… i think the interviewer must know too
coming across as a real dickhead as opposed to a not industry plant actor LOL
