Jonah Hill 'struggled with Cyrus role'

Jonah Hill has admitted that he struggled with his dramatic role in Cyrus.

The actor, who is best known for his comedic performances, revealed that he found it hard to move on from his psychologically disturbed character in the film after production wrapped.

"It's definitely more of a dramatic stretch for me," he told Total Film.

"I'd say it was the first time ever it was difficult to go home at the end of the day and shake off what I was doing earlier in the day and just hang with my friends or girlfriend and be normal after playing such a severely affected guy."

He added that he is glad that he took on the difficult part as it paved the way for future dramatic work.

"Bennett Miller, who directed Capote, saw this movie and cast me as the second lead in a baseball drama called Moneyball that stars Brad Pitt, Philip Seymour Hoffman and Robin Wright. Cyrus already has done more than I could have imagined in that regard."
