LOS ANGELES, June 5 — Funny star Jonah Hill found himself in a spot of bother recently as he yelled a homophobic insult at a photographer.

The star was spotted walking with two friends wearing some flowery shorts, which the fan called “pretty sexy”. The ‘21 Jump Street’ actor apparently ignored the comment and kept walking, however after being wished a good day, Hill turned and called the photographer a “f****t”.

However, since the incident, Jonah has apologised for his “disgusting” choice of words. While explaining the situation in more detail, Hill noted that he’s “happy to be the poster boy for thinking about what you say and how those words, even if you don’t intend them and how they mean, they are rooted in hate.”

Jonah is known for being a gay rights activist and said that while he’s “happy to take the heat for using that disgusting word” he won’t allow people to believe that he “would be against anyone for their sexuality.” — Cover Media
