Jonah Hill may have made the transition from comedy to serious drama, but he maintains a sense of humour. He hands out these business cards to fans.

The card reads, “I just met Jonah Hill. It was a total letdown,” according to NaughtyGossip.com.

“Jonah actually had these printed up and always is carrying a bunch of them in his pocket. He thinks he is so clever and brilliant,” a source told the site.

“Who goes to all the trouble? It would be easier to just sign something or take a quick picture. He needs to chill out. He thinks he is very important.”

According to the New York Daily News, Jonah’s “total letdown” card habit may or may not have been influenced by Steve Martin’s own famed 80s card-giving style. “This certifies that you have had a personal encounter with me and that you found me warm, polite, intelligent and funny,” the cards said. Of course, Steve Martin is a god as well.

However, after hearing feedback from fans, “The Jerk” star abandoned the action.

In 2011, he told the Houston Chronicle, “I realized that when people ask for an autograph, what they really kind of want is a little encounter; to find out what you’re really like in 30 seconds.”

More about Hill

Hill famously lost his temper in a Rolling Stone interview in 2013 while promoting This is the End because the reporter mistakenly called him Seth Rogen.

When Hill was asked what sort of farter he is, he continued to loose it.

“I’m not answering that dumb question! I’m not that kind of person!” he said. “Being in a funny movie doesn’t make me have to answer dumb questions. It has nothing to do with who I am.”
