American actor and film-maker Jonah Hill is not a fan of The Mandalorian despite Leonardo DiCaprio’s best efforts to get his friend and frequent co-star hooked.

Jonah Hill reveals Don’t Look Up star Leonardo DiCaprio forced him to watch The Mandalorian

Jonah Hill told W Magazine that he often does not watch science-fiction films and television series because “I used to have a rule: If it didn’t happen or it couldn’t happen, then I just wasn’t interested, because I would lose focus.”

However, Adam McKay’s Netflix satire Don’t Look Up star DiCaprio got Hill to break his rule and give the Disney Plus Star Wars television series a try. Hill said, “Leo made me watch The Mandalorian when we were making Don’t Look Up, and it was like, 'Baby Yoda was so cute' but I just didn’t give a f*ck because I didn’t know anything that it was about.”

Hill appears to be more of a fantasy guy, who is falling in love with Game of Thrones. “Game of Thrones is so sick,” Hill said. “I know this is hilarious, because I’m in 2012. I’m just watching three episodes at a time, like you would binge any show. But I forget this happened in real time and was like a cultural event. So I watched the Red Wedding, as one of three episodes I watched that night. I’m calling friends, like, ‘Oh my god, Robb Stark got killed, blah, blah, blah.’ And they’re like, ‘Yeah, dude. It was like the end-of-‘Sopranos’-level cultural event.'”

On the work front, Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill first starred together in Martin Scorsese’s The Wolf of Wall Street, which nabbed them Oscar nominations for actor and supporting actor, respectively.

The two reunited for McKay’s Don’t Look Up, which is one of the most-watched Netflix original movies of all time. The film began streaming on Netflix on December 24, 2021.
