- Vin Diesel got called out again
- Paul Walter Hauser said THIS
- There has been no response yet
In a recent buzzworthy moment, Paul Walter Hauser didn't hold back his thoughts when an innocent comparison to Vin Diesel turned into a critique of Hollywood's professionalism—or the lack thereof. While promoting his latest project, 'Inside Out 2', Hauser was quick to distance himself from any comparison to Diesel, especially when it comes to punctuality and approachability.
Hauser Speaks Out: "I Love People, But..."
It all started innocently enough during an interview with CinemaBlend. When Hauser's voice performance was likened to Diesel's iconic role in 'Guardians of the Galaxy', Paul made it clear: "Please don't say that. I like to think I'm on time and approachable," he stated, setting the record straight.
His comments didn't stop there. Hauser expressed his frustration with high-earning Hollywood actors who mistreat others, admitting, "I out them constantly. And it's a blast."
Despite never having worked together, Hauser's comments add a new layer to the ongoing discussions about professionalism in Hollywood, indirectly referencing Diesel's well-documented feud with Dwayne Johnson.
This feud, stemming from their work on the 'Fast and the Furious' franchise, reportedly ended after Johnson's appearance in 'Fast X' (2023). Diesel himself has been known to speak about the importance of tough love on set, especially when discussing his approach to embodying the character Hobbs alongside Johnson.
"Please don't say that. I like to think I'm on time and approachable," stated Paul.
He said, "Sorry, I love people, but when I hear stories about Hollywood actors who get paid really well and mistreat people, I out them constantly."
"And it's a blast," he added.
Ludacris Chimes In
Amidst the controversy, Ludacris shared his own experiences with Diesel, highlighting a different side of the actor. In a heartfelt interview with Access Hollywood in May 2023, Ludacris spoke about the significance of Diesel's recognition and support, showcasing the familial bonds formed within the 'Fast and Furious' ensemble.
Hauser's candid remarks have ignited a conversation about what it means to be a professional in the fast-paced world of Hollywood.
"Vin’s recognition means everything to me. I had everything I needed here today, my entire family," noted the 46-year-old.
Ludacris mentioned, "To hear Vin say those words, it just blew me away because I have conversations with him one-on-one all the time."
"But when you speak in front of the world and then you talk about my characteristics, that's a whole different category of him just pouring his heart out," he added.

While some may view his comments as a bold call-out, others see it as a necessary conversation starter about respect and accountability in the industry.
As the dust settles, one thing is clear: in Hollywood, timekeeping and approachability might just be as important as talent.
