JONAH HILL FOUND HIS “LITTLE SURFER GIRL”

A few years ago when Jonah Hill made up his mind to become a surfer – he went all the way. First, he bought a house in Santa Monica to be close to the beach. As he took surf lessons, his LOOKS changed – he started getting tattoos, peroxiding his hair, and wearing colorful beachy shirts. He vowed to surf EVERY DAY no matter what the weather. At one point someone posted a sign on Hill’s favorite beach that said “Jonah Hill Ruined Surfing”– apparently referring to the fact that Jonah attracted paparazzi to the surfing beach. Jonah also traded in his former girlfriend for a dedicated female surfer who teaches and belongs to a surfing sisterhood group. He’s so smitten with Sarah Brady that he posted a photo of them together captioned “Life’s a beach with you”

JONAH HILL IS NOW A CITIZEN OF SURF CITY

Almost a year ago, Jonah Hill made up his mind to learn how to surf. He grew up in Southern California afraid of the waves, and didn’t attempt to conquer his fear of surfing until he turned 35. He loved it right away and throughout the coronavirus isolation he’s been surfing almost every day in Malibu – alone. He falls a lot less frequently now and appears to have lost a few pounds. He replaced his old black wetsuit with a new royal blue one. (Perhaps to attract a “Gidget?”) Jonah is proud of his accomplishment and says “anything is possible.”

MINNIE DRIVER IS MORE THAN AN ACTOR, SHE’S A SURFER

Minnie Driver seems to have been working nonstop in both films and TV, since she popped into view in Good Will Hunting. Born in the UK, we were amused when the independent actress moved to Malibu almost 20 years ago, determined to learn to surf. Now she can be seen expertly riding the waves most weekends. Minnie is pictured here with her 12 year old son Henry Driver (from a past relationship) and her boyfriend Addison O’Dea. Addison is a documentary film maker who specializes in cultural anthropology, frequently working for the Discovery channel
