Jonah Hill, a two-time Academy Award nominee and star of the upcoming “22 Jump Street,” was caught on video calling a photographer a “faggot” over the weekend in Los Angeles.
TMZ has the video and reports that the photographer followed Hill down a public sidewalk for about a minute. After the photographer appeared to back off after getting the video he wanted, before leaving he said to Hill, “Have a nice day.” The star responded by saying, “Suck my dick, you faggot.”
During an appearance on Howard Stern, Hill admitted he had used the slur and apologized. “What I said in that moment was a disgusting and hurtful term,” Hill said. “I should have said either nothing, or fuck you.” Hill claimed he had been followed by photographers all day and that they had said hurtful things about his family.
