Jonah Hill gets back on his surf board as he braves the water at LA beach… almost a year after professional wave rider ex Sarah Brady made shock allegations

Jonah Hill has been hard at work in the Los Angeles area filming his latest film Outcome, which he co-directs and stars in with Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer.

But this Saturday, The Wolf Of Wall Street star enjoyed a brief weekend respite from helping the black comedy by heading out for a blissful battle with Mother Nature during a day of surfing.

While temperatures peaked in the mid-60s in Fahrenheit further inland, they only reached the upper 50s along the coast, forcing him to wear a classic black wetsuit.

The mid-nineties writer and director appeared tanned with close-cropped hair and a long, scruffy beard and mustache. During his time in the Pacific Ocean, he put his impressive surfing skills on full display.

The mid-nineties writer and director looked tanned, with close-cropped hair and a long, scruffy beard, and put his impressive surfing skills on full display.

Before heading out to become one with the waves, the Los Angeles native did a series of stretches and a prayer before heading out for his first run of the day.

‘I’ve been terrified of surfing all my life. Completely random fear and at the same time always been a secret dream of mine,” the This Is the End star wrote in an Instagram post of him posing with an instructor in February 2020.

‘It turned out to be one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Not only was it so fun and challenging, but more than that, I think, damn, at 35 you can start doing things you’ve always wanted to do,” he explained at the time.

And as evidenced by his frequent forays into the Malibu areas, Hall has not only overcome his self-imposed fears, but has even acquired real surfing skills.

At one point, after making a few runs on the waves, the prankster took a break and pulled his wetsuit down to his waist, revealing his many tattoos on his chest, stomach and arms.

In recent weeks, Hill has been hard at work directing and starring in the new black comedy Outcome starring Keanu Reeves, Cameron Diaz and Matt Bomer.
