Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill worked together surprisingly well in Moneyball. On-camera, in the film, Brad and Jonah made a great and low-key team, and off-camera, they seem to get along surprisingly well too. I wonder what their relationship is really like? I wonder if Brad has grown into the “celebrity mentor” role? Does he see Jonah like a little brother? Or does Brad accord Jonah the respect of an equal? One thing’s for sure – those early reports about Brad “bullying” Jonah were totally false. While Jonah has been getting more publicity over the past few months, he’s let it slip as to just how close he is with Brad and Angelina:
Need a place to stay? Give Brangelina a call! When Jonah Hill was filming a movie in New Orleans, his Moneyball costar was more than happy to let him stay at his home.
“Brad [Pitt] is the coolest guy,” Hill, 28, told Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. “It sucks because he’s so handsome… You don’t wanna like him so much!”
“I was shooting [21 Jump Street] in New Orleans, and he let me live in his house,” the actor said. “He said, ‘Go live there!’ I said, ‘I’m there for three-and-a-half, four months,” and he said, ‘That’s cool. Live at my house.’ Like, he’s the nicest guy.”
“Was Angie home?” Stewart, 49, asked jokingly. “Is he that cool?”
“He isn’t that cool,” Hill laughed.
Hill’s stay at the Jolie-Pitt home caused some confusion for those living in The Big Easy.
“Every day I’d get picked up in a black SUV and dropped off. But people in New Orleans know it’s Brad Pitt’s house,” he told Stewart. “It’s literally on the tour. So, I would go home every day from work and there’d be a tour outside and they’d be freaking out, and then I’d get out of the car, and you could hear a collective audible sigh of annoyance when it wasn’t Brad Pitt!”

Isn’t that a cute story? And yes, considering Joanh was able to stay at the Jolie-Pitt NOLA mansion for nearly four months, uninterrupted, that probably means that the Jolie-Pitt family aren’t making their way down to NOLA as often as they would have us think. Still, it’s nice that Brad lent the place to Jonah. Do you think Jonah ever invited Channing Tatum over and they threw a house party? (I’ll include the trailer for 21 Jump Street at the end of the post.)
Anyway, here’s another cute Jonah-Brangelina story – according to Us Weekly, Brad and Angelina came out for Jonah’s 28th birthday party in Hollywood:
Happy birthday from Brangelina! Jonah Hill’s 28th birthday party at La Descarga in Hollywood was quite the star-studded affair. A source tells Us Weekly that Hill’s Moneyball costar Brad Pitt came out for the bash, as did Angelina Jolie and Zooey Deschanel.
Pitt, 48, and Jolie, 36, stayed for about two hours at the fete. “They danced a little bit,” adds the source. “Angelina had a glass of wine in her hand.”
The couple — who let Hill live in their New Orleans home for four months while he was filming 21 Jump Street — left around 12:30 a.m., right before the dance party got crazy.
According to a source, Deschanel was “tearing up the dance floor” while DJ Bobby French spun for the night. Hill danced with “several different girls” throughout the evening.

Sigh… I’d like to party with Brad, Angelina, Jonah and Zooey. And Joseph Gordon Levitt. And Michael Fassbender. And Quentin Tarantino, just because he seems like he would be fun at parties. Oh, and we should invite Ewan McGregor too! And Jude Law, just so someone would wind up pregnant. Who else? Emma Thompson! And that’s it. That’s my party.
Also – there are new pics of Brad on his motorcycle with Pax in the sidecar. They’re adorable, and you can see them here.
Here’s the trailer for 21 Jump Street, shot in NOLA while Jonah lived at the Jolie-Pitt mansion.
