Welcome to paradise...
First came the Hawaiian vacation and Instagram caption, quickly removed, heavily suggesting that universally adored actor-surfer Jonah Hill and his girlfriend-not-fiancée, Sarah Brady, would soon be moving, permanently, to the islands. Then came the sale of Hill’s “windowless monolith” located in the famed Malibu Colony, a slice of real estate that instantly made the Academy Award darling heir to Miki Dora’s throne. Now, news has just broken that the Wolf of Wall Street star is unloading his $11 million New York loft in further preparation for that sweet kama’aina discount life.
Jonah Hill is the latest in a fleet of celebrities to say goodbye to New York City.
The actor, 38, has put his Manhattan loft up for sale for almost $11 million — $1.83 million more than he paid for it in 2015, The Post can report.
Initially buying the Noho neighborhood pad to upgrade from his previous 2,000-square-foot loft in Soho, the four-bedroom, four-bathroom 3,280-square-foot residence hit the market last week.
The official move to sell the Big Apple pad comes after the “Don’t Look Up” actor has been spending most of his days in the Hawaiian Island of Kauai with girlfriend, Sarah Brady. The two have been linked since August.
The loft is located in a pre-war building and features three bedrooms, exposed brick barrel vaulted ceilings and “the most advanced smart home technology.”
Very cool but cooler still is the discount Hill and Brady will be receiving at Hawaii’s many Foodland locations seeing they will, officially, be kama’aina or “residents.” But can I be honest with you? Confess a great sin that I have been carrying for many years? During my various weeks long stays on Oahu, working on Welcome to Paradise, Now Go to Hell, Who is JOB (the film) etc. I regularly used Jamie O’Brien’s “kama’aina card” at Foodland even though I had no intention of a permanent move.
Shameful.
I’m assuming now that I’ve admitted, the State of Hawaii will seek to prosecute me to the fullest extent of the law but I will accept my punishment with a bowed head for I deserve the wrath.
I’m sorry.

Another fat bass tard taking up precious public and private space, and oxygen too…big set hold down maybe, if we’re lucky.
There is no such thing as kama’aina anymore. They won’t be getting any discounts at food land. This article is ridiculous I am sure Jonah Hill had plenty of money to buy groceries.
Pumpin OTW…
I’m struggling (not really turning at all) to think if I’ve ever actually watched any movie that he’s been in (I don’t care).
Probably shows my relative cultural ignorance.
I was going to recommend the one where the two dudes go to North Korea and off Kim Jung, but I’m actually not sure he’s in it now that I think about it.
I can’t wait for the locs to give him his first beat down since he won’t have his malibu friends there.

SEX SYMBOL!
Someone should maybe explain rock fever to the guy.
Is that real? Mortifying.
Yes. Real Mortifying!
Running away further west only to find himself in the east, oops.
Kama’aina card not necessary at Foodland Pupukea. Just take the time to say hello to the checker and ask how their day is going like you mean it, then listen to their response. Maybe make some idol chat about the papaya you are buying looks like a pear or anything else that recognizes that a person is standing across from you. They’ll ask you for any phone number and give you the discount. Hawaii gives back what you give! And occasionally steals everything in your glove box.

Maybe I meant about Kelly Slater? Or other famous tropical fruits 😉
It’s another day of the coof “science” falling apart, and exposing big mouth bogans on blast.
Does this mean he is no longer heir-apparent to Miki Dora’s throne?
He is now the heir to Elvis Presley’s throne.
Jonah gonna transform hisself into a real Hawaiian heavy… REAL heavy… getting ready for North Shore remake: North Shore: Taste This Aloha…

It’s Vince Jonahloka from Da Vali.
Cant suck up to nick and brutus anymore so jonah will have to do.
I can see the next book title – Blessed are the Foodland discounts!
The Rothman family have you covered, Chas. Bulldogging those kama’aina police is one of their specialities.
Met an older lady several yrs ago in a thrift store who told me she and 4 other NYC girls lived in house at Sunset Beach in the 70’s and Eddie got them out of a “situation” where one of them hit and killed the local farmer’s huge pig DWI one night. They never heard a word and were actually invited to the luau later. She also added one of the girls went “missing” for about a week one time and when she returned all battered up and in shock she refused to speak of it. Probably didn’t help either that these women had nobody else to turn to as the local Cop was caught peering in their bathroom window a few times at night.
That’s truly grim.
IF Jonah sells the property for asking price he will net a paltry gain by typical Manhattan real estate trends. How embarrassing!
