An Australian radio host recalled the “scary” reaction Jonah Hill once had to being asked about his personal life.

Fifi Box said her co-host at the time of the “disastrous” 2012 interview, Jules Lund, had asked an admittedly “provocative” question that set off the “Superbad” star.

“It was a very uncomfortable, and I am gonna say a little scary, moment because he did fire up. … It did provoke Jonah,” she explained on the “Fifi, Fev & Nick” show Tuesday.

Box then played the resurfaced audio, in which Lund told Hill, “Last time you were out here [in Australia], Jonah, you hooked up with a friend of mine, and you didn’t call her.”

The actor, who was doing press with his “21 Jump Street” co-star Channing Tatum at the time, blew up on the spot over the “bulls–t” question.

“That’s not true. That’s not [the] last time I was out here, first of all,” he began.

“You’re talking to two people who have no shame in hiding anything from their past, right? But we don’t know enough about you to dig up all the s–t from your past, to make fun of you about on live radio,” Hill continued.

“If I knew anything about you and I cared enough, I’d dig up embarrassing s–t from your past to rip on you about it — but I don’t care, and I don’t know, so I don’t have the luxury.”

Box said she felt compelled to share the anecdote in light of the recent allegations of abuse that the “Knocked Up” star, 39, is facing from his ex Sarah Brady and former “Zoey 101” actress Alexa Nikolas.

Over the weekend, Brady shared text messages purportedly sent by Hill during their relationship — which lasted from August 2021 to sometime in 2022 — that detailed his so-called “boundaries” that involved her not being allowed to surf with other men or post certain photos on Instagram.

In a separate screenshot dated Dec. 2, 2021, the comedian allegedly implied he wanted to end his relationship with his then-girlfriend if she continued to have “boundaryless [sic] inappropriate friendships with men” as well as “friendships with women who are in unstable places.”

Days later, the surf instructor explained that she had waited to share her accusations because she knew Hill’s current partner, Olivia Millar, was pregnant, and she did not want to cause her or her baby any stress.

Given Millar delivered her and the “The Wolf of Wall Street” star’s baby, Brady shared more texts allegedly sent by Hill that claim he had been “sexting” her just before his relationship with Millar began.

Additionally, Nikolas came forward and claimed on Twitter that Hill had “slammed” her head against a door and “shoved his tongue” down her throat without consent when she was just 16 years old.

Nikolas explained that the duo had been at a party hosted by fellow actor Justin Long, and when she and Hill, who was 24 at the time, went outside to smoke, he allegedly assaulted her.

“#JonahHill didn’t hand me the cig which I thought was weird and then as we walked back to the door I asked him for it and he said nothing but slammed me to the door and shoved his tongue down my throat,” the actress, now 31, claimed.

“I was so appalled I pushed him off of me and ran inside,” she added.

Hill’s attorneys told Page Six that Nikolas’ story was “a complete fabrication,” but she told us that she was left “scared and angry.”

The “Stutz” star has not publicly responded to Brady’s claims.
