“Good or bad I want to politely let you know it’s not helpful and doesn’t feel good.”

Jonah Hill has asked fans to stop making comments about his body whether they are good or bad.

In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the 37-year-old Superbad star said that while he knows the comments come from a good place, they’re “not helpful”.

“I know you mean well but I kindly ask that you not comment on my body,” the actor said on Instagram.

“Good or bad I want to politely let you know it’s not helpful and doesn’t feel good. Much respect.”

It’s not the first time the comedian has opened up about his body image issues.

Sharing a screenshot of an article which showed him shirtless on a beach in February, he said: “I don’t think I ever took my shirt off in a pool until I was in my mid-30s even in front of family and friends.

“I’m 37 and finally love and accept myself. The idea that the media tries to play me by stalking me while surfing and printing photos like this and it can’t phase me anymore is dope.

“This isn’t a ‘good for me’ post. And it’s definitely not a ‘feel bad for me post. It’s for the kids who don’t take their shirt off at the pool.”
