We knew that Jonah Hill walked away from the chance to play Shia LaBeouf ’s sidekick in Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, but now the comedic-actor turned actor-actor says he also turned down The Hangover . And not just that, but he turned down all three leads in The Hangover.

“A genuine fear of mine was that I was going to be known as ‘The Guy from Superbad’ for the rest of my life,” Hill recalls in an interview with Bullett . After the success of Superbad, director Todd Phillips approached him about playing “any one of the three main parts in The Hangover,” according to the actor. “They were both really big decisions, and ones that most people didn’t understand,” he says of the Hangover and Transformers gigs. “I knew I could be a dramatic actor, but I also knew I couldn’t go from Superbad to Schindler’s List.”Of course, it worked. Hill went on to nab an Oscar nomination for Moneyball, but he's also maintained his comic edge with the likes of 21 Jump Street and This Is the End. (And yet he's also apparently been getting crap lately for acting too serious, as in an interview with Rolling Stone . As The Playlist points out, maybe he didn't feel like answering questions about his love life, workout routine, or farting -- all of which were asked.) And now he's got Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street coming up, and he's writing a script that he plans to direct (but he's not giving up details on it yet).But still, can you imagine Hill in the Bradley Cooper role in The Hangover? That's Superweird.
