Jonah Hill looks unrecognisable with huge beard as he's seen surfing after weight loss

Jonah Hill looks unrecognisable as he's spotted surfing after impressive weight loss.

The actor was seen catching waves in California showing off his slimmed down physique as well as a huge beard.

The 21 Jump Street star looked like he was a natural surfer as he stretched out his arms to keep his balance, despite previously saying he was scared of the sport.

He has all the right gear as he wore a full wet suit as he enjoyed his day out.

Jonah often teams up with fellow enthusiasts Spike Jonze and Beastie Boys rapper Mike Diamond to form Surf Jews California.

Jonah told GQ last year: "Been terrified to surf my whole life. Totally random fear and at the same time always been a secret dream of mine."

The star has seen his weight fluctuate over the last few years and has said in the past that being overweight as a kid "f****d me up".

He said in Netflix documentary Stutz: "When I was a kid, exercise and diet was framed to me as like, 'There's something wrong with how you look'.

"But never once was exercise and diet propositioned to me in terms of mental health. I just wish that was presented to people differently."

Jonah first rose to face when he starred in comedies Accepted in 2006 and Superbad in 2007.

He said his 21 Jump Street co-star Channing Tatum encouraged him to hire a nutrionist and personal trainer back in 2011.

Speaking on The Tonight Show in August 2016 he said: "I called Channing Tatum and said, 'Hey, if I ate less and go to a trainer, will I get in better shape?'

"And he said, 'Yes, you dumb motherf***er, of course you will. It's the simplest thing in the entire world."

He went on to shed an impressive 40lbs but he ended up putting it back on while acting in The Wolf of Wall Street in 2013.

But he has since managed to slim down again.

After the release of War Dogs in 2016 Jonah lost weight again and has managed to stay in shape since.
