Actor Jonah Hill called out the Daily Mail for posting candid shots of the actor shirtless after surfing, part of what he said has been a pattern of the media trying to body-shame him.

"I don't think I ever took my shirt off in a pool until I was in my mid 30s even in front of family and friends. Probably would have happened sooner if my childhood insecurities weren't exacerbated by years of public mockery about my body by press and interviewers," he wrote.

Hill posted the comments late Friday night on his Instagram page, saying that the "stalking" and media attention no longer fazed him.

"I'm 37 and finally love and accept myself," he wrote.
