Jonah Hill has asked fans to stop commenting on his body.
The 37-year-old actor - who has been open about his insecurities over his body in the past - insisted it "doesn't feel good" to read other people's opinions on his figure, regardless of whether they're being positive or not.
He wrote on Instagram: "I know you mean well but I kindly ask that you not comment on my body, good or bad.
"I want to politely let you know it's not helpful and doesn't feel good. Much respect."
Earlier this year, Jonah revealed he "finally loves and accepts" himself after years of "public mockery" about his body.
Meanwhile, the 21 Jump Street star previously said he is grateful to his friends and family for allowing him to openly discuss his own vulnerabilities.
He said: "As I've grown up as a human being, and have had the emotional maturity and confidence to become a filmmaker, [I've reflected on] how I learned to communicate as a man and why that was problematic.
"I was taught and maybe culturally we were taught at that time, if you're a man and you express your feelings or you express that something hurts you, then you should be made fun of.
"And that kind of repression leads to anger, and anger leads to bad behaviour."
