Jonah Hill has taken to social media this week to share a new tattoo celebrating body positivity.

The 37-year-old actor took to his official Instagram account on Monday, August 2 to upload a picture of himself shirtless, with a bleached-blonde haircut and full-grown beard, rocking his new tat.

As you can see from the image above, the inking is situated on the Superbad star's shoulder and reads "Body Love", framed inside a logo similar to the water sports apparel company Body Glove.

Hill's post clearly caught the attention of his 2.9 million followers on the platform and has already accrued 412,000 likes and a further 4,000 comments as of the time of writing.

Finally, someone else stated: "That's a dope tattoo."

Hill's weight has fluctuated throughout his career, and the Wolf of Wall Street actor has previously opened up about how body shaming has affected him throughout his life in an emotional Instagram post.

In it, Hill stated: "I became famous in my late teens and then spent most of my young adult life listening to people say that I was fat and gross and unattractive."

He continued: "It’s only in the last four years, writing and directing my movie Mid90s, that I’ve started to understand how much that hurt and got into my head.

"I really believe everyone has a snapshot of themselves from a time when they were young that they’re ashamed of.

"For me, it’s that 14-year-old overweight and unattractive kid who felt ugly to the world, who listened to hip-hop and wanted so badly to be accepted by this group of skaters."

So if you struggle with your self-image, no matter what shape or size you are, it's important to remember that you're not alone.
