Jonah Hill has cancelled his remaining French media appearances in promotion of "War Dogs" thanks to Ornella "Miss Meteo" Fleury, the weather presenter who took a couple jabs at him during a recent interview.
Hill, who stars alongside Miles Teller in "War Dogs", became visibly pissed off when Fleury started cracking jokes about him and although she has since issued an apology, he's not hearing it.
Here's the exchange that set him off, followed by an excerpt from her formal apology:
“When I saw you get sodomized by a three-meter-tall demon in This Is the End, I told myself, ‘Now that’s the man of my dreams'!"
“I hear you get sodomized pretty often,” Hill shot back. She added, “We would meet up in a hotel room at night. We would chat, you’d make me laugh. Then all of a sudden, you’d bring your friends (Leonardo) DiCaprio and Brad Pitt, and then you’d go away.”
“I really had the impression that I knew you,” she said. “I thought I was just messing around with a friend, but the reality is that we are not friends.”
It's worth noting that Hill was quick to fire a joke back at Fleury, saying "I’m glad I came on this show to get ridiculed by your local weather girl," but the conversation ended there.
"War Dogs," the film based on a true story of two young men who won a $300 million contract from the Pentagon to arm America's allies in Afghanistan, is in theaters now.
