Your body is no one's business but your own.

Sadly, the internet remains a wasteland of unsolicited comments, abuse, and harassment — often rooted in fatphobia — about people's weight and body shape.

Setting a personal boundary amid this, Hollywood actor Jonah Hill posted a message on Instagram on Thursday, asking his followers not to comment on his body.

"I know you mean well but I kindly ask that you not comment on my body — good or bad I want to politely let you know it's not helpful and doesn't feel good. Much respect," he wrote.

Hill has previously spoken about his relationship with his body during an interview with Ellen DeGeneres in 2018 on The Ellen Show.

"I think everybody has a version of themselves ― I call it a snapshot ― at some point in life, trying to hide from the world," he told Ellen. "Even if you get success or grow up or become good-looking or whatever [...] you kind of carry some part of that with you. For me, it’s definitely being like this 14-year-old kid, being overweight, wanting to fit in with these skaters and hip-hop kids, and just feeling lonely and maybe not understanding my own worth."

Celebrities including Aidy Bryant, SZA, Tess Holliday, and Beanie Feldstein (Hill's sister) posted comments of support under Hill's post.
