Jonah Hill has opened up about his decision to leave Los Angeles behind and settle in San Diego to raise his children away from the Hollywood spotlight.
The 42-year-old actor, known for The Wolf of Wall Street and Superbad, revealed that he now lives in a small town in San Diego, where he prefers a quieter family life.

Hill, who grew up in Los Angeles with his costume designer mother and tour accountant father, said the move was motivated by his desire to raise his children in a more private and grounded environment. He is married to Olivia Millar, and the couple recently welcomed their second child.
Speaking on the SmartLess podcast, he shared, “So I live in a very small town in San Diego, and it’s amazing, and my neighbours are incredible people.”
Explaining the reason behind the relocation, he added, “And when we had our first kid, we moved out there three years ago. I wanted to leave LA and raise a family outside of Los Angeles.”
Hill noted that while he still travels back to Los Angeles for work, his primary residence is now with his family in San Diego.
He also praised his local community, saying his neighbours treat him like anyone else and do not bring up his celebrity status.

Before making the move, Hill owned a significant real estate portfolio across California and New York.
