Jonah Hill Blows Up at Paparazzi, Hurls Homophobic Slur (VIDEO)
Jonah Hill lashed out at paparazzi over the weekend after photographers and videographers had been following him and a friend in Los Angeles. Though the "22 Jump Street" actor and comedian is usually pro-gay, he hurled a gay slur at the paparazzi after he got angry.
Jonah Hill was walking in the Larchmont area of Los Angeles when the paparazzi spotted him and a friend. The 30-year-old actor wasn't responding to their queries, so one frustrated videographer decided to insult his beach shorts.
"I like the shorts, bro. They are pretty sexy," the paparazzo said sarcastically.
Hill didn't respond to the harassment until the paparazzi had given up on getting a rise out of him. One photographer told the actor to "have a nice day," but Hill responded with pure vitriol.
"Suck my d---, you f-----!" Hill said.

Hill, known for appearing in raunchy and sophomoric comedies like "Superbad" and "21 Jump Street," has been a very outspoken advocate for homosexuals in the past. During the Winter Olympics, he was vocal about opposing the Russian law that made it illegal to advocate publicly for homosexuality in the country.
"Help us show Russia & the world that #LoveConquersHate," he tweeted at the time. Later on, he explained that his commitment to gay advocacy is very personal.
"I have tons of gay friends, gay family members," he told E! News. "I support anybody doing whatever they want to do to be who they are."
Hill stars in the upcoming "22 Jump Street," a sequel to "21 Jump Street" where he and his police partner (Channing Tatum) pretend to be college kids to bust a drug lord. The comedy will be released June 13.
