In a recent feature for W Magazine, actor Jonah Hill recalled an unusual and lighthearted memory involving pop icon Rihanna. The anecdote emerged as part of Rihanna’s cover story for the publication’s Pop Issue, which celebrates the singer and her daughter, Rocki Irish, marking the toddler’s first magazine appearance. The issue was released digitally on April 21, 2026.

Hill, who collaborated with Rihanna on the 2013 comedy ‘This Is the End’, shared his favourite memory of the star during the interview. He recounted an encounter with her on his birthday soon after the filming of the movie, where a seemingly innocent sharing of a joint led to an unexpected mishap for one of Hill’s friends. According to Hill, Rihanna generously offered marijuana to his friends, to which one of them became so inebriated that she “pooped her pants”.

In his own words, Hill stated, “Rihanna has that ‘make your friends s— their pants’ weed.” This humorous remark encapsulates a playful aspect of Rihanna’s character, which has often resonated with those who have worked alongside her in the entertainment industry.

Rihanna’s role in ‘This Is the End’ saw her portray a fictional version of herself in a film that features an ensemble of celebrities dealing with an apocalypse scenario inside James Franco’s home. The film was a notable project for both Hill and Rihanna, further establishing their presence in Hollywood.
Michael Cera, who also featured in the film, previously shared insights about working with Rihanna, particularly highlighting an incident in which she physically slapped his character, an act that he later confirmed was entirely genuine. Cera remarked on the authenticity of the scene, stating, “I think it’s a lot funnier and a lot more convincing,” reflecting on how such moments contribute to the film’s authenticity.
Beyond her memorable role in ‘This Is the End’, Rihanna has expanded her acting repertoire significantly over the years. The nine-time Grammy award winner has starred in numerous films, including ‘Ocean’s 8’ and ‘Annie’, and lent her voice to the animated film ‘Home’. Her versatility as an artist continues to earn her praise across various entertainment sectors.
In W Magazine, several other actors who have shared the screen with Rihanna also reflected on their experiences. Donald Glover, her co-star from ‘Guava Island’, praised Rihanna’s relaxed approach to the craft, noting her thorough preparation and willingness to engage with her character. Glover expressed admiration for her openness, remarking, “It was cool to see her dive into it with no real fear of vulnerability.”
Sarah Paulson, who appeared alongside Rihanna in ‘Ocean’s 8’, shared her initial impressions of the singer, describing her as “the single most electrifying creature.” Paulson found Rihanna’s thoughtful and observant nature striking, noting how she absorbed her surroundings with wisdom, especially given her relatively limited acting experience at that time.
As Rihanna balances her successful career with motherhood, she shares three children with her partner, rapper A$AP Rocky. Their eldest son, RZA, and middle child, Riot, along with the youngest, Rocki, form a close-knit family unit. This personal aspect of her life adds another layer to her public persona, showcasing her ability to navigate both her professional and familial responsibilities.
The candid memories shared by Jonah Hill and other stars emphasise that despite the fame and fortune, it is often the humorous and human moments that create lasting bonds among colleagues in the industry. Rihanna’s journey from a pop superstar to an accomplished actress continues to resonate with fans and peers alike, reinforcing her multifaceted talent and enduring charm in the world of entertainment.
