From Superbad to super-slim!

Known for his rotund shape, comic actor Jonah Hill was tasked with a weight-loss challenge for his latest upcoming movie: Before he could fight crime on 21 Jump Street, he had to battle the bulge!

The 5-foot-7 star, 27, wanted to drop 30 pounds before production began in April on the action film, based on the '80s TV hit starring Johnny Depp.

    The problem with starting out and gaining fame as "The fat guy/girl"? As soon as you lose weight and change your look,you lose work.

    Jonah looks amazing. Like a whole new person. And Us, seriously why the word ''rotund''? Have a little class.
