Hill told the outlet that the industry's awareness of his unique sense of style 'surprises people' at times.
'Even now, I’ll overhear someone discussing my place in the fashion world or whatever, and people are like, "That guy? The schlubby guy from Superbad?"'

He said that his weight, as well as his background in comedy, also stifled his fashionable ambitions.
'I think I was conditioned for that based on my acting career,' he said. 'Because, (A) being overweight and (B) comedy, you're not supposed to be into fashion on either of those sides.
'When I was coming up in comedy, you would get made fun of if you cared about fashion, but I always did.'
