Jonah Hill showed off his svelte frame as he stepped behind the camera to direct Keanu Reeves in his new film Outcome.
The actor, 40, opted for a casual yellow zipped jacket and a matching beanie as he spoke to the crew while on set for the film in LA.
The film was first announced back in April 2023, when Apple Original Films picking up the project in a competitive bidding war.
Hill not only directs but will also star and produce, while co-writing the screenplay with Ezra Woods.
The story follows a Hollywood star named Reef (Reeves) who must atone for his troubled past when he is extorted with damaging video from his past.

Reeves and Hill star alongside a cast that also includes Matt Bomer, Kaia Gerber, Cameron Diaz, David Spade, Laverne Cox, Susan Lucci and Roy Wood Jr.
Filming began in late March, just after Reeves wrapped the comedy Good Fortune, which Aziz Ansari is writing, directing and starring in.
Hill is producing alongside Matt Dines and Alison Goodwin for his second narrative feature film, after his 2018 debut Mid90s.
Reeves is coming off 2023’s John Wick: Chapter 4, which took in over $440 million at the worldwide box office.
He will also return as John Wick in a small role in the franchise spin-off Ballerina, starring Ana de Armas, which has a June 6, 2025 release date.
Last year, Hill – who suffers from anxiety attacks – discussed his fluctuating weight with his therapist Phil Stutz for his second feature directorial effort, the Netflix documentary Stutz.
‘When I was a kid, exercise and diet was framed to me as like, “There’s something wrong with how you look,”‘ the Winning Time director recalled.
‘But never once was exercise and diet propositioned to me in terms of mental health. I just wish that was presented to people differently.’
Anything for a laugh! The Winning Time director was first introduced to the world starring in light-hearted comedies like Accepted (pictured in 2006), Superbad (2007), and Forgetting Sarah Marshall (20018)

Jonah admitted growing up overweight ‘intensely f***ed me up,’ and inside he still feels like ‘a 14-year-old boy who’s very overweight and has acne and feels very undesirable to the world.’
‘Inherently, at my core, I’m still this unlovable person,’ Hill explained.
‘But the work is inching toward [realizing] that it’s great to be this person. But that’s still very hard.’
