If you attempt to silence Jonah Hill’s fart machine, you’d better believe he won’t go quietly.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show on Monday Hill spoke about his new Netflix movie Don’t Look Up (a star-studded comedy with a core message about climate change), explaining that he brought along a digital fart machine to the press tour after Julia Louis-Dreyfus bought him one for a wrap gift on his previous film.
“We did this big fancy press conference and I did the fart machine when someone was talking about climate change,” says Hill. “My cast mates did not find it funny. Meryl Streep, being the OG Legend that she is, did find it funny, which is why I ride with her any time, day or night.”
Hill goes on to explain that the movie’s director, Adam McKay, eventually told him Netlfix had asked him multiple times to ask Hill to stop using the fart machine during press for the film — something that clearly only encouraged him to do it more.
“So I just want to say officially, I love you Netflix, I love working with you, I am a huge fan, I watch your streamer,” says Hill at the interview’s conclusion, brandishing his fart machine in the air. “But no corporate entity will ever silence my digital farts, motherf*cker.”
