Jonah Hill recently opened up about the shocking way his three-year-old son has been using these days to make his parents laugh as well as his biggest fear after embracing fatherhood.

On the Saturday, April 25 episode of the SiriusXM live taping of the SmartLess podcast, Hill talked about his children and revealed the unique way his eldest child has learnt to make them erupt into laughter.

He said, “Seeing your kid come up with something that he thinks is funny to make you laugh … that is funny in his 3-year-old mind, [is great],” adding that he uses words like “f***** or wiener, because he’s my son.”

“And he’ll be like, ‘Dadda, oh f****.’ And I’m like, ‘Family business, baby. Get out there,’” The Wolf of Wall Street alum quipped, referring to his passion for comedy.

During the conversation, Hill admitted he would not be able to behave normally when his kids start going to college.

He claimed, “I would be having a nervous breakdown if my kids were going to college. I start crying sometimes."

"I’m like a little baby myself, because I’ll look at them and be like, ‘If you’re a teenager and don’t want to hang out with me, I’ll cry every night,” Hill said.
