Without a doubt, Jonah Hill has worked with the best of the best, including a number of Oscar-winners.

From Leonardo DiCaprio and Matthew McConaughey in The Wolf of Wall Street, to Meryl Streep in Don't Look Up, he's done it all.

Even Hill himself has been nominated for an Academy Award twice; Best Supporting Actor for Moneyball and Best Supporting Actor for The Wolf of Wall Street.

Despite the accolades, however, the 40-year-old didn't really get along with two actors on two separate sets.

Hill rose to fame on Superbad, and it turns out that we almost didn't get one of the greatest comedy moments of all time.

Due his dislike of Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Hill tried to stop Judd Apatow from hiring him.

Mintz-Plasse, now 35, took on the role of Fogell, who famously uses a fake ID labelled as 'McLovin' to buy alcohol.

"I think he was really annoying to me at that time," Hill told Vanity Fair in 2022, admitting that he was 'really, really amazing off the bat'.

Seth Rogen, who played Officer Michaels, added: "Jonah immediately hated him. He was like - 'that was f**king with my rhythm. I couldn’t perform with that guy'."

At a Fan Expo Chicago, Mintz-Plasse also said: "Jonah Hill hated me so much after my audition. I get it, I was 17, I was not a professional actor, I was in high school and we're playing high school kids.

"So Jonah's roasting me - and you remember being in high school, you just like yeah it's my f**king buddy roasting me, it's not going to bother me, I'm going to roast him back. And that's what I did in the audition.

"And I left the room... and Jonah's like 'f**k that guy'."

The pair now appear to be on good terms, which was not the case with fellow actor Jay Baruchel, 42.

They starred together in 2013's This Is the End, playing exaggerated versions of themselves during a global apocalypse.

In a 2023 appearance on The Daily Beast's podcast The Last Laugh, Baruchel explained: "It was this weird thing of mining personal s**t. But not for catharsis… mining it just for comedy.

"So mining it in the most monetised, capitalist way of, 'we’re going to dig up real personal s**t,' but nobody’s going to go home feeling better about it. We’re just going to turn it into a f**king product.

"We never talked about any of the real s**t. Like, it never came up for real. Because we’re both 1982 kids which means we were raised in a great misogynistic tradition of not talking about s**t.

"Especially two boys… we'll air grievances. When we’re mad at each other and say that, but it’s very rare to be vulnerable."
