Jonah Hill rocks burly beard at Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica with mystery woman… after Kanye West claims his 21 Jump Street performance ‘made me like Jewish people again’
In his first sighting since controversial rapper-designer Kanye ‘Ye’ West declared his ‘love’ for him, two-time Oscar nominee Jonah Hill was all smiles while emerging from Italian restaurant Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica on Tuesday.
The 39-year-old LA native rocked a big burly beard with a beige-striped hoodie over a navy-blue floral jacket, khakis, and black sandals.
Jonah – who owns a $6.7M three-bedroom Southern Colonial home in Santa Monica – was joined at the celeb hotspot by a mystery woman wearing a brown shearling coat.
Hill – who legally dropped his last name Feldstein in favor of his middle name in January – has been single since amicably ending his year-long engagement to KITH NYC head stylist/producer Gianna Santos in 202.
The You People producer-star has yet to react to the 45-year-old Grammy winner claiming ‘watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again.’

‘No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people,’ Ye – who boasts 29.1M social media followers – wrote last Friday.
‘No Christian can be labeled anti-Semite knowing Jesus is Jew. Thank you Jonah Hill I love you.’
It’s only been a few months since West – who suffers from bipolar disorder – professed his love for Hitler and the Nazis, hung out with white nationalist Nick Fuentes, and tweeted about going ‘death con 3 on Jewish people.’
Jonah pulled triple duty coming up with the story, executive producing, and starring as geek-turned-underachieving cop Morton Schmidt in the critically-acclaimed 2012 hit comedy based on the Fox series (1987-1991).
Hill – whose bar mitzvah was at Temple Emanuel of Beverly Hills – belongs to a group called ‘Surf Jews California’ with filmmaker Spike Jonze and Beastie Boys rapper Mike Diamond, which he told GQ last year they created as an ‘inside joke.’
It’s unclear if the Atlanta-born hip-hop star has actually met the Stutz director-star, but they may have crossed paths attending the MTV Movie Awards in 2014 or the MTV Video Music Awards ceremonies in 2008 and 2011.

21 Jump Street co-director Christopher Miller saw Ye’s post and tweeted last Saturday: ‘Um… thanks for watching?’
21 Jump Street co-director Phil Lord also tweeted last Saturday: ‘Laughter is the best medicine.’
And comedian Patton Oswalt joked that he’s ‘pitching a time travel thriller where scientists attempt to screen 21 Jump Street for Hitler in 1933.’
Up next, Jonah will reportedly direct a film called Outcome starring Keanu Reeves, and produce a feature adapatation of Chris Leslie-Hynan’s 2014 novel Ride Around Shining through his production company Strong Baby.
