A Pair of French TV Hosts Decided to Bully Jonah Hill This Weekend

The actor canceled his French press tour after the interview

Just because a man was sodomized by a demon on film doesn’t mean you get to be a d*ck about it.

During a weekend interview on the French TV show Grand Journal, actor Jonah Hill (War Dogs) was teased mercilessly by the hosts. First, Hill was reminded about being “sodomized by a three-meter-tall demon” in This Is the End.

“That I told myself, now THAT’s the man of my dreams!” said presenter Ornella Fleury, as Hill looked … uncomfortable. (Her co-host’s follow-up question, “You get sodomized on a regular basis?” was ignored.)

Then, it got worse: Fleury mentioned she had a sexual fantasy involving Hill — and the crowd instantly laughed. And that was before she gave out details.

“We’d meet up in a hotel room — we would chat, you would make me laugh,” she started out. And then? “You’d bring your friends DiCaprio and Brad Pitt … and then you’d go away!”

Hill, now less amused, gave a mock thumbs up. “I’m glad I came to this show to get ridiculed by a local weather girl,” he said. Afterwards, Hill canceled all follow-up interviews.

Given that Hill’s next project is reuniting with Emma Stone (Superbad) for a TV show directed by True Detective season one auteur Cary Fukunaga, I’d say the talented actor can do what he wants — including never going back to France.
