    Johan Hill was born Jonah Hill Feldstein, he changed his name to remove that last part because his dad is a famous and powerful studio exec. He was trying to hide his nepo baby status.

      I’ve never seen a movie with him in it so I can’t judge his level of talent. 🤷🏻

      I think it is a good choice as a stage name.

      I’m perfectly willing to believe he’s also an insecure jerk with a chip on his shoulder, that’s kind of table stakes for comedians. I couldn’t believe how much of an asshole Conan O’Brien was in his documentary.
