Have you ever seen a smooth-talking chubby man next to Leonardo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt in a recent Hollywood movie? If so, that man is probably Jonah Hill, who we will be introducing today.
Following Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jack Black , there is a lineage of "chubby actors who are indispensable to Hollywood movies." In recent years, it is no exaggeration to say that Jonah Hill has been single-handedly taking on the demand for chubby actors, so this time we would like to focus on his watches.

The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) is a bold yet sensitive portrayal of the rise and fall of a real stockbroker in the 1990s, directed by Martin Scorsese , known for Taxi Driver (1976) and Goodfellas (1990). Jonah Hill, who plays the vice president of a stockbrokerage company in the film, wears a solid gold Rolex Daytona (Ref. 16528) .
Nowadays, when you think of sports models from luxury brands, you think of stainless steel, but in the 1980s and 1990s, when Japan and the US were dancing to the financial bubble, a gold Rolex watch was the very symbol of wealth. This is the perfect choice of watch.

David ( Miles Teller ), a masseuse who lives a modest life in Miami, reunites with his childhood friend Efrem ( Jonah Hill ) at the funeral of his best friend. Efrem sees a business opportunity in small arms sales routes that major arms dealers don't deal with, and invites David to be his business partner. David, hoping for a big turnaround in his life, accepts the invitation, and with the Iraq War at the time, a large number of orders come in, and the two succeed in making huge profits.
David and Efrem make a fortune and expand their business, but they find themselves in a difficult position after accepting a large order that is beyond their current business scale. They manage to get out of trouble by making a deal with the owner of an arms storehouse introduced by a broker, but the man turns out to be a dangerous person under government surveillance.

" War Dogs " (2016), a comedy drama based on a true story by Todd Phillips , director of " The Hangover " (2009), depicts the success and fall of a young man who becomes an up-and-coming arms dealer. In this humorous portrayal of the reality of an arms trading company, Jonah Hill, who plays an arms dealer who has risen to fame, wears a Rolex Submariner (Ref. 16610) .
Even on his thick wrist, the Submariner shows off its powerful presence. Its versatility, which allows it to fit on anyone's wrist, is one of the reasons behind the watch's popularity.

"Don't Look Up" (2021) is a sci-fi black comedy directed by Adam McKay, who has had a string of hits in recent years with political and economic dramas based on true stories, such as " The Big Short " (2015), which depicts the subprime mortgage crisis, and " Vice! " (2018), a biopic about former Vice President Cheney .
In this film, Jonah Hill plays Jason, the son of the US president, who is indifferent and arrogant. The watch he is wearing is thought to be a Richard Mille Tourbillon Skull (Ref. RM052) . However, this watch, which is said to have a market price of 30 to 50 million yen, is unlikely to be worn in real life, so it is probably a prop.
summary
What did you think?
In all of his films, Jonah Hill always wears luxury watches that show his attention to detail.
Wondering if he might be someone with an opinion on watches, I did a little research and discovered that he is indeed a watch enthusiast who owns several expensive watches in his private life.

The first one is a Patek Philippe Nautilus (Ref. 3800/1J) . It is from a scene in a sneaker shop that he visited in the promotional video for the coming-of-age film " Mid90s " (2018), which he directed, wrote and produced. The gold case and blue dial of the Nautilus, which has a calm atmosphere due to its age, unexpectedly matches the colorful atmosphere of the sneaker shop.

Next is the Rolex Milgauss ( Ref. 116400GV ) . It is unclear when he is wearing it, but as he is smiling and talking in front of the microphone, it seems like a special occasion.
For such occasions, many stars would wear elegant dress models or luxury models with glittering jewels, but choosing the Milgauss, which boasts magnetic resistance , shows that he is truly a watch enthusiast.

And finally, the solid gold Rolex Daytona (Ref. 116508 ) . This is the "Green Daytona," which is also popular in our store. It's a popular style among rappers and celebrities , combining street fashion with a high-end solid gold watch.
Although he wears many solid gold watches, he rarely wears jewellery models and seems to prefer high-end watches with high practicality. In particular, his choice of the Milgauss ( Ref. 116400GV ) gives the impression that he sees watches as tools , not just accessories.

Well, in recent years, Jonah Hill has shed his chubby image through strict dieting and has been taking on serious roles with his unexpected good looks. In the future, he may have the opportunity to wear an elegant dress watch in a sexy, middle-aged role.
As a character or body shape changes, the watch that suits him will also change. I would like to pay attention to how the watch he wears will change (or not).
see you!
