Jonah Hill is sharing a bizarre and humorous memory involving Rihanna that has caught fans’ attention.

According to People, the actor recalled the story while contributing to W Magazine’s Pop Issue, which features Rihanna on the cover alongside her daughter.

Hill described running into Rihanna shortly after they filmed the 2013 comedy This Is the End and how the encounter took an unexpected turn during his birthday celebration.

“After we shot This Is the End, I ran into her at a bar, and it was my birthday,” Hill said. “She had a joint and was generous enough to share with my friends.”

He then revealed the surprising outcome, claiming that one of his friends became so intoxicated that they “pooped their pants,” jokingly adding that Rihanna has particularly strong weed.

The anecdote was shared as part of a larger feature celebrating Rihanna’s career and personality, with several of her former co-stars offering stories and reflections about working with her.

The singer previously appeared as a fictionalized version of herself in This Is the End, where she starred alongside Hill and a cast of Hollywood actors playing exaggerated versions of themselves.

Other actors involved in the feature, including Donald Glover and Sarah Paulson, praised Rihanna’s professionalism, presence and willingness to fully immerse herself in her roles.

While Hill’s story stood out for its shock value, it ultimately added to the broader portrayal of Rihanna as both a generous and memorable collaborator, even if the experience left one party guest with an unforgettable birthday mishap.
