Jonah Hill's Hopes of Starring in Iron Man 3 Dashed By Dastardly Twitter Impostor

Written by Seth Abramovitch | 14 Jul 2009, 9:30 AM | 8 comments

jonah-twitter.jpgOne day, we’ll mythologize these early years of Twitter lawlessness as if it were some latter-day Old West. (Except in this case, the outlaws don’t rob banks — they tweet fake messages about dipping a toe in bisexual waters from their account “TheREALJudgeJudy.”)

Appearing on Late Show with David Letterman last night, fleshy kvetch-artist Jonah Hill described how he himself has fallen victim to the popular online white-noise-generator’s unregulated wilds.

A fake Jonah — who calls his or herself “OfficialJonah,”* and whom Hill imagines to be “some kid in Alaska” — has managed to accumulate a massive following of the gullible and willing, all seemingly unconcerned that red-flag-raising tweets of the “I’m in love with the appatow gang (:”-variety may not entirely adhere to the well-established Hill voice.

Which was all fine and dandy until OfficialJonah undertook a ping-pong match flame war with Jon Favreau, thereby scuttling any chances of the real Hill starring as Gargantus in Iron Man 3. Let’s hope this gets back to Favreau posthaste; someone tweet him the bit.ly to this post from MorganFreemanItsReallyMeISwearGuys!!!. That should lend it some added gravitas.

  • The fake-Twitterer is @JonahHill_Jew, and his full confession is detailed here.

Wait, was it the real Jon Favreau on Twitter, or the "real" Jon Favreau? Because celebrity impostor tweet-fights is some higher plane shit that I can't get my head around.

Unbelievably tired of Jonah. Unbelievably.

Ditto that! Jonah Hill is one of the ever-so-crass Apatow chuckleheads. I suppose vulgar movies like "Superbad" and slightly less offensive "Knocked Up" are selling seats, but they sure aren't winning me over.

It wasn't @OfficialJonah who did the feud with Favreau, it was @JonahHill_jew and he was trading witticisms with Favreau, NOT feuding with him! If you want proof, you have to read the CONFESSION! The guy who started it posted a blog at www.TheJohnBlog.net
