The actor had apologized during his visit on "The Howard Stern Show," saying:

"This is a heartbreaking situation for me, from the day I was born and publicly, I've been a gay rights activist. Not excusing what I said in any way, this person had been following me around all day. Had been saying hurtful things about my family, really hurtful thing about me personally, and 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," added Hill.

Hill and Stern had also discussed the treatment that celebrities get from paparazzi and how hard it is for them be normal people just doing whatever they like around town without being harassed by these shutterbugs.

Jonah Hill had also expressed his feelings about what he had said.

"I'm happy to take the heat for using this disgusting word. What I won't allow is for anyone -- it would break my heart to think that anyone would think, especially with all the work that I've done and all the loved ones that I have -- that I would be against anyone for their sexuality. That's absurd to me. So it's been a heartbreaking morning," stated the actor.
