CBSN
Jonah Hill told his fans on social media to stop commenting on his body because it "doesn't feel good." The Oscar-winning actor, who has been open about his struggles with weight and body image, asked his Instagram followers on Wednesday to not say anything about it, regardless of whether it's positive or negative.
"I know you mean well but I kindly ask that you not comment on my body," the 37-year-old wrote. "Good or bad I want to politely let you know it's not helpful and doesn't feel good. Much respect."
He received an outpouring of support online, including from his sister and actress Beanie Feldstein, singer SZA and "Saturday Night Live" star Aidy Bryant.
Ashley White received her earliest combat action badge from the United States Army soon after the first lieutenant arrived in Afghanistan. The silver military award, recognizing soldiers who've been personally engaged by an attacker during conflict, was considered an achievement in and of itself as well as an affirming rite of passage for the newly deployed. White had earned it for using her own body to shield a group of civilian women and children from gunfire that broke out in the midst of her third mission in Kandahar province. All of them survived. She never mentioned the badge to anyone in her battalion.
