Jonah Hill punched for real on Wolf of Wall Street
Actor reveals his genuine swelling for role.
There's method acting... and then there's just being punched in the face.
Jonah Hill now knows much about the second one, having been clocked full in the chops while filming Martin Scorsese's latest film 'The Wolf of Wall Street'.

To make matters worse, the slug came from Jon Bernthal, the sturdy star of 'The Walking Dead'.
“[Scorsese] looks at me and goes, 'Hey kid, you wanna try when he hits you for real?'” the 'Superbad' star told Contact Music.
“I don't wanna look like a wuss... so I turned to [Leonardo DiCaprio] to try and make eye contact to say, maybe, 'Ok, Marty, maybe do something else'.
“So I don't answer and I look to Leo and... he completely looks away and leaves me hanging!

“We go out there, we do the scene. [Bernthal] just decks me. I wore big fake teeth and they split and flew out of my mouth!
“I'm on the floor and I'm in a daze and I just hear Scorsese (say) out loud, 'His face is swelling, get him some new teeth and let's shoot it!' Someone put some teeth in my mouth and they film my face swell.”
Judging from the trailers so far, it seems that his character Donnie Azoff, an obnoxious banker, patently deserves a punch in the face at the very, very least.
Starring the aforementioned stars alongside Matthew McConaughey, Jean Dujardin, Rob Reiner, Jon Favreau and Joanna Lumley, 'The Wolf of Wall Street' fictionalises the memoir of Jordan Belfort, who was jailed for stock market manipulation and running a 'boiler room' in the late 90s.
It's out in the UK on January 17.
