Actor Jonah Hill told Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon that he lost his cool with a paparazzo and is heartbroken that he used a “disgusting” homophobic slur.
Hill then went on to apologize for his comments concluding with, “If someone says something that hurts you or angers you, use me as an example of what not to do, and don’t respond with hatred or anger, because you are just adding more ugliness to the world and again I’m just so sorry.”
Celebrity gossip site TMZ early Tuesday morning released a video of the incident in which Hill tells a man following him to “Suck my d—, you f—–.”
The actor, who was nominated for Academy Awards for his roles in the 2011 film Moneyball and last year’s The Wolf of Wall Street, told Fallon he did not mean it in a homophobic way.
Lots of vague generalities and crocodile tears. BUT, he’s still OK in my book. He genuinely seemed contrite. (Or he passed his P.R. Manager’s test.)
