Vin Diesel’s professionalism has come under scrutiny following remarks made by Paul Walter Hauser during an interview for the upcoming movie, *Inside Out 2*. The interview took an unexpected turn when Hauser, responding to a comparison between his role and a classic Vin Diesel character, quipped, “Please don’t say that. I like to think I’m on time. And approachable.” This prompted laughter from co-star Lewis Black, who plays Anger in the film, though it soon became clear that Hauser was serious.
Hauser didn’t stop at the initial comment. He went on to express his frustration with well-paid Hollywood actors who mistreat others, stating, “I love people, but when I hear stories about Hollywood actors who get paid really well and mistreat people, I out them constantly.” Known for his role as Richard Jewell in Clint Eastwood’s 2019 film, Hauser voices the emotion Embarrassment in *Inside Out 2*. His remarks suggest that if his claims about Diesel are accurate, Diesel should indeed feel embarrassed.
Despite the controversy, Hauser has reason to be pleased, as *Inside Out 2* is currently the highest-grossing movie of 2024. This achievement stands in stark contrast to the negative publicity surrounding Diesel, reminding audiences of Hauser’s professionalism and dedication to his craft.
This isn’t the first time Diesel has found himself in a feud with a fellow actor. His highly publicized clashes with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson during the production of the *Fast and Furious* series were widely covered. However, Hauser’s candid remarks mark one of the most direct criticisms Diesel has faced from a co-star.
The unfolding drama between Diesel and Hauser adds another layer of intrigue to the Hollywood landscape, highlighting ongoing issues of professionalism and conduct in the industry. As *Inside Out 2* continues to dominate the box office, it remains to be seen how these revelations will impact Diesel’s reputation and future projects.
