Jonah Hill Apologizes for 'Disgusting' Gay Slur

Jonah Hill has apologized for his poor choice of words over the weekend.

The 22 Jump Street star was walking with a friend in Los Angeles when he lost his cool on a paparazzo.

I know I said it when I was young. I have may have uttered the first part in more recent times but I never use the term faggot anymore because I understand how cruel a word it is and I also don't want my boys to use it.
