Sad reason you haven't seen Jonah Hill recently as rare sighting leaves people shocked

Jonah Hill has been spotted on set for his new movie again looking unrecognisable - and it's got fans questioning where he's been.

The 42-year-old American actor is a household name, best known for his comedy roles such as Seth in Superbad, Schmidt in 21 Jump Street, and Donnie Azoff in The Wolf of Wall Street.

As we say though, he looks worlds away from his usual self right now, while he's shooting his new film Cut Off - a Warner Bros. comedy where Hill is directing and starring opposite Kristen Wiig.

The movie, which has been written by Hill and Ezra Woods, follows a pair of rich siblings (Hill and Wiig) who are cut off from their parents (Bette Midler and Nathan Lane), reports Deadline.

Hill has certainly got his hands full - as well as co-writing, starring and directing, the comedian is also producing alongside Matt Dines and Ali Goodwin under his Strong Baby banner.

Cut Off is slated it for release in cinemas worldwide on July 17, 2026 - and the cast have been working hard filming in Los Angeles, California.

And according to the publication, Camila Cabello and Langston Kerman are the latest celebrity cast additions.

New images from set show Hill truly getting into character as an entitled rich kid, wearing a very eye-catching and bedazzled sweater.

The words 'rare peace' are written in a bold yellow font on the front, accompanied by 'SOS' which has an American flag inside the text.

He layered it over the top of a black and white graphic long-sleeved top paired with grey acid-wash jeans - also bedazzled with silver rhinestones.

Hill completed the funky look with a burgundy pair of Nike trainers, a short blonde wig and a pair of cat-eye glasses.

The back of the T-shirt was equally colourful, designed with yellow and red text, and the actor had his script sticking out of his front pocket.

He seemed to be in good spirits as he paraded around on set, laughing with producer Matt Dines.

However, as we say, Hill's recent filming appearances have got fans wondering where he's been following quite a lengthy stint out of the limelight.

It comes after the actor took a break from the limelight to work on his anxiety (Backgrid)

The 21 Jump Street actor actually first revealed his plans to go off-grid in 2022, citing personal problems as the reason why in a heartbreaking conversation with press about his mental health.

He explained that his private battle with anxiety had been 'exacerbated' over the years, and he spoke of the 'importance' of putting himself first.

At the time, he'd also not long wrapped up directing his second ever movie, Stutz, which was a documentary about his relationship with therapy and followed the tragic sudden death of his brother, Jordan Feldstein, who died of a heart attack in 2017 at the age of 40.

As per Sky News, he said at the time: "The whole purpose of making this film is to give therapy and the tools I've learned in therapy to a wide audience for private use through an entertaining film.

"Through this journey of self-discovery within the film, I have come to the understanding that I have spent nearly 20 years experiencing anxiety attacks, which are exacerbated by media appearances and public facing events."

He later added: "You won't see me out there promoting this film, or any of my upcoming films, while I take this important step to protect myself.

"I usually cringe at letters or statements like this, but I understand that I am of the privileged few who can afford to take time off. I won't lose my job while working on my anxiety."
