Jonah Hill reconciles with ex

Jonah Hill has reconciled with his ex-girlfriend.

The ‘This Is The End’ actor was spotted kissing Jordan Klein – who he dated for four years before they split in 2011 – in North Hollywood earlier this week

A source told People: "They were walking toward Starbucks. Then the next thing we knew, he grabbed the back of her head and started passionately kissing her on the side of the street.

"As soon as they sat down [in Starbucks] they started kissing again. They were so into each other, it was like there was nobody else in the store, actually I think they forgot where they were, it went on for at least five minutes."

In September Jonah and Ali Hoffman called time on their relationship after nine months together.

‘Moneyball’ star Jonah, 29, is said to have been close to Ali, 24 – the daughter of actor Dustin Hoffman – for some time before they started dating, and even went to the same school, Crossroads High School in Santa Monica, although they were in different years.

Dustin also had a hand in Jonah’s career, spotting him while he was still in high school and helping him land his first role in ‘I Heart Huckabees’.

Jonah Hill joins Django Unchained

Jonah Hill has signed up for ‘Django Unchained’.

The ’21 Jump Street’ star previously turned down a role in the spaghetti western movie – which will be directed by Quentin Tarantino – due to scheduling conflicts but he is now able to play a different character, who is as yet unknown, in the film.

Jonah rejected the role of Scotty Harmony, who loses the titular character Django’s (Jamie Foxx) slave wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) to evil plantation owner Calvin Candie – who is played by Leonardo DiCaprio – which results in him being involved in a showdown with the slave-turned-bounty hunter.

The drama film focuses on Django’s quest to recover his wife from Calvin – who runs club Candyland, where his spouse and other female slaves are exploited as sex objects – and Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz and James Russo have also signed up for the motion picture.

Jonah and Leonardo will then join forces for Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’, which is based on Jordan Belfort’s memoir of his rise and fall as a stockbroker.

John Dujardin has also been in talks to star in the crime drama, which will see Leonardo play Jordan, a multi millionaire stockbroker who was charged with security fraud and money laundering, and served a 22-month prison stretch.

Jonah Hill and James Franco to star in True Story

Jonah Hill and James Franco are teaming up for ‘True Story’.

The ‘Superbad’ star and the ‘127 Hours’ actor will appear in the movie adaptation of Michael Finkel’s memoir which will see Jonah play the writer who establishes a connection with captured criminal Christian Longo (James) after it is revealed he had been using Finkel’s identity while on the run.

When Finkel’s employers The New York Times fired him the day after Longo’s arrest amid claims he had falsified parts of a recent investigative article, the writer tried to redeem himself through interviews with Longo, who refused to speak to any other journalist.

Jonah’s ‘Moneyball’ co-star Brad Pitt will produce the movie through his Plan B production company while Rupert Goold is set to direct.

Jonah will be happy to reunite with Brad for a movie as he previously revealed they hit it off on the set of baseball movie ‘Moneyball’ for which they both received Academy Award nominations.

He said: "I think he and I are really close in the movie. The movie is really the two of us playing off of each other a majority of the time, so if that chemistry wasn’t there between us, I think the movie would have completely failed.

"So I think we both knew that going in, and I think we both happened to like each other a lot."
