Jonah Hill is taking full responsibility for yelling a homophobic slur at a paparazzo the weekend of May 30. The actor was caught on camera telling the photographer, "suck my d*** you f*****," and later explained that he's frustrated by his own words. "From the day I was born and publicly I've been a gay rights activist. ... I played into exactly what he wanted and lost my cool. And in that moment, I said a disgusting word that does not at all reflect how I feel about any group of people." Hill isn't the only star who's been caught making a controversial comment.
