Jay Baruchel doesnt mind admitting Jonah Hill is talented or personally disliking him.

Baruchels disdain seemingly came to a head while filming This is the End . The 2013 disaster comedy famously cast celebrities like Seth Rogen , James Franco and Emma Watson as exaggerated versions of themselves who try to survive the apocalypse.

Baruchel tries desperately in the film to convince the group, who sincerely believe Hill is a good person, that hes pulled the wool over their eyes and cant stand him. Rogen replies that Hill is the nicest guy in the world and promises Baruchel he likes you so much.

The comedy eventually unfolds to prove Baruchel right, as Hill prays that Baruchel not be spared from Gods wrath, throws a knife into his leg and unscrupulously pushes him into a sinkhole. Ultimately, this piece of $126 million-grossing art appeared to imitate real life.

There is one, I guess, Baruchel told Larry King in 2017 when asked about his relationship with Hill. I know the man. I wouldnt say that [I dont like him] It was contentious once upon a time, but I think now were sort of each the devil the other one knows.

In a recent episode of The Last Laugh podcast , however, Baruchel delved deeper into their contentious relationship and stated firmly: I was real crabby throughout that whole movie Jonah and I dont get along super well, or at least didnt back then.

When told the dynamic comes through on screen, the Canadian actor wasnt surprised: Yeah, no fucking shit, it does! And also, it was this weird thing of mining personal shit.

But not for catharsis, just for comedy, Baruchel continued. In the most commoditized, capitalist way of, like, were going to dig up real personal shit, but nobodys going to go home feeling better about it. Were just going to turn it into a fucking product.
