Jonah Hill appeared on French television program Le Grand Journal last Friday, and the interview quickly went south after an excruciating exchange between the War Dogs star and host Ornella Fleury. A few days ago while talking overseas in France; Jonah seemed pretty annoyed when a female anchor wanted to make a joke about her alleged sexual fantasy with Hill which the anchor went on to throw in a curve ball. Fleury then suggested that Hill indulge a sexual fantasy of hers by inviting his movie star friends Leonardo di Caprio and Brad Pitt around to his hotel room with her – suggesting that Hill leave the three of them to it.

Jonah Hill, along with hisWar Dogs co-star Miles Teller, were promoting their film in France when an interview went terribly wrong. Probably because he was still suffering from that 3rd degree burn.
Jonah Hill’s latest interview went “Superbad”, super quick.
Fleury, after receiving a barrage of negative press from all over the world, appeared again on the show this week to offer an apology to the actor. “All I said is “sexual fantasy” and you guys laugh”. It was clear from Jonah’s reaction that he wasn’t interested in playing along, but Ms. ‘And then all of a sudden, you’d bring your friends [Leonardo] DiCaprio and Brad Pitt.
Fleury, the so-called Miss Météo on the popular Grand Journal show on Canal Plus, said sorry to Hill after she had poked fun at him during last Friday’s show.
The actor chose to cancel all his publicity interviews following the exchange on live TV. The statement expressed Fleury’s feeling that, having watched Hill on film and screen for the past decade, she had come to feel that the two were far more familiar to one another than was actually the case.
She reiterated, “No, the reality is that you have two Oscar nominations and I have two videos on my YouTube account”.

Fleury, speaking her native French, set up the 32-year-old actor to believe she was turned on by him before lowering the hammer with a punchline that made reference to two of his very famous friends in the states. “We would chat, you’d make me laugh”.
