Vin Diesel Slammed by Paul Walter Hauser Over Unprofessional Conduct

Vin Diesel’s professionalism was called into question by Paul Walter Hauser during an interview for Inside Out 2 .

When the interviewer from CinemaBlend likened Hauser’s arc in the film to a classic Vin Diesel role, Hauser responded, “Please don’t say that. I like to think I’m on time. And approachable.”

The clapback caused his co-star Lewis Black, who plays Anger in Inside Out 2 , to burst out laughing. It was soon clear this wasn’t a joke, however.

Hauser didn’t stop there. “Sorry, I love people but when I hear stories about Hollywood actors who get paid really well and mistreat people I out them constantly.”

The actor, best-known for playing Richard Jewel in Clint Eastwood’s 2019 film of the same name, voices the emotion of Embarrassment in Inside Out 2 . But if what he says about Diesel is true, there’s someone else who should be embarrassed.

Hauser does have something to smile about, however, because Inside Out 2 is currently the highest grossing movie of 2024 .

It’s not the first time Diesel has feuded with another actor. His run-in with The Rock during the Fast and Furious movies were well-publicized at the time. But no-one has performed a slam on Diesel quite as hard as Hauser just did.
