Moneyball actor and Oscar nominee Jonah Hill has lost a great amount of weight over the past year. Rumors were circulating that Brad Pitt was responsible for Hill’s weight loss and that Hill was inspired by Pitt’s healthy lifestyle. However, Hill has revealed his secret for losing weight: It isn’t exercise, it’s a Japanese diet. Hill told ABC News:
"It was just mostly diet. I wish there was some crazy thing that I did, like a pill or a genie or something, but it was, unfortunately, I went to see a nutritionist, and he told me what to eat to change my habits and stuff."
Hill explains that a Japanese diet has been helpful and now eats lots of sushi. Hill’s motive for losing weight was to get more serious, dramatic acting roles. Hill said: “'I just had a moment in my life where I said I wanted to become a man.”
