Jonah Hill Shares Story of Friend’s Extreme Reaction to Rihanna’s Weed

Jonah Hill has shared a memorable — and unusual — story about a night out with Rihanna, recalling how one of his friends had an extreme reaction after smoking with the singer.

In a recent profile of Rihanna for W magazine, Hill described meeting her at a bar while celebrating his birthday shortly after they appeared together in the 2013 comedy This Is the End. According to Hill, Rihanna shared a joint with his group, and one of his friends became so intoxicated that she “pooped her pants.”

Hill framed the moment as an example of Rihanna’s larger-than-life presence, joking that she has the kind of energy that leaves a strong impression on people.

The anecdote is one of several shared in the W profile, which includes reflections from other artists and actors about Rihanna’s impact and personality.

Mariah Carey recalled meeting Rihanna as a teenager through Jay-Z and immediately believing she would become a major star. Mary J. Blige credited her with changing the music industry by consistently releasing hit songs. Singer SZA described it as a “fever dream” when Rihanna recorded her track “Consideration” for the 2016 album Anti.

Actress Sarah Paulson, who worked with Rihanna on Ocean’s 8, also shared her first impression, calling her “the single most electrifying creature” she had ever seen. Paulson recounted a moment when her partner, Holland Taylor, visited the set and reacted with amazement upon seeing Rihanna in costume.

Paulson also joked about trying to impress Rihanna by improvising song ideas on set. According to Paulson, Rihanna responded bluntly, telling her that while her lyrics were not bad, her singing was “upsetting.”
