'Disgusting part of our culture'

Actor Jonah Hill is the latest star to have a pop at Kardashian family, calling their show Keeping up with the Kardashians a “super disgusting part of our culture”.

The 27-year-old Moneyball star told The Huffington Post:

“The truth of it is, I have friends who work in TV and the Kardashians get higher ratings than their TV shows. Shows that people actually work hard on – writing and creating and trying to tell stories.

“The fact that the Kardashians could be more popular than a show like Mad Men is disgusting.

“It’s a super disgusting part of our culture, but I still find it funny to make a joke about it.

However, he does admit that he sometimes finds himself watching the show, which follows the lives of sisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, saying:

‘Whenever I say I like reality TV, people write about it like they’re in shock.

“I can’t even understand it, so I watch it.

“I think it’s funny and I definitely enjoy it in a making-fun-of-it sort of way, but where does the line sort of end? When do I stop making fun of it and become an actual fan?”

The Superbad star’s comments come just weeks after Daniel Craig had his say, calling the family “f***ing idiot[s]” in an interview with GQ:

“Look at the Kardashians, they’re worth millions. I don’t think they were that badly off to begin with but now look at them.

“You see that and you think ‘what, you mean all I have to do is behave like a f***ing idiot on television and then you’ll pay me millions’.

“I’m not judging it – well, I am obviously.”
