Jonah Hill cancels all appearances in France after getting insulted on live television.
Following an incident on French television while promoting War Dogs on Friday, Jonah Hill, cancelled all of his appearances in France after a comedian poked fun at the actor.
Jonah Hill and Miles Teller were on the French comedy show Le Grand Journal when comedian and “weather girl” Ornella Fleury made a joke about when she first fell for the actor.
“It was when I saw you get sodomized by a 3-meter tall demon in This Is The End,” she said, “that I told myself, now THAT’S the man of my dreams.”
That’s when things started to go wrong.
“I heard you get sodomized quite often,” Hill replied through a translator.
But, that is when Fleury responded back with this joke.
“We would meet up in a hotel room at night. We would chat, you’d make me laugh… and then, all of a sudden, you’d bring your friends Leo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. And then you would leave.”
Jonah Hill responded by saying he was glad he showed up on TV to promote a movie only to be “ridiculed” by the “local weather girl.”
Then he cancelled all of his future appearances in France, even after Fleury apologized for making fun of him in front of a live studio audience of French people, saying, “Jonah, the problem is that for 10 years I have lived with you through your films,” she said directly to the camera on Monday. “In fact Jonah, I really had the impression that I knew you so last Friday I thought I was just messing around with a friend, but the reality is that we are not friends.”
Jonah Hill has yet to accept her apology.
