Incredible shade from Paul Walter Hauser towards Vin Diesel

"Hollywood actors who get paid really well and mistreat people." It's a comment actor Paul Walter Hauser recently made about a colleague. What happened?

He was talking to a journalist from Cinemablend about the new movie 'Inside Out 2' when he said: "I like to think I'm on time and approachable. 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."

The Emmy winner and Oscar nominee made the surprising comment as he was talking to CinemaBlend about his role as 'Shame' in the animated movie 'Inside Out 2'.

How did he get to this point, and why was the shade directed at Vin Diesel?

Well, 'Shame' is a character who does not speak throughout the film, and neither does Vin Diesel's character in 'Guardians of the Galaxy' (the role of Groot). Hence, the journalist made a comparison. And then, Hauser clapped back.

Paul Walter Hauser put shame aside and used another characteristic highly valued in Hollywood: sincerity. He said he did not want to be compared to Vin Diesel at all.

Vin Diesel already had a public dispute with The Rock in the 'Fast and Furious' saga. Now, Hauser pointed out Vin Diesel's lack of professionalism on the set as well.

What's more, Justin Lin, one of the key directors of the 'Fast and Furious' saga, left the franchise in full production while citing a "major disagreement" with Vin Diesel.

Shortly thereafter, a source close to the director told The Hollywood Reporter that Justin Lin had left the franchise due to "mental health" issues.

Returning to the present, you only have to look at the expression on the face of Lewis Black, Hauser's colleague who voices Anger in 'Inside Out 2', to know that Hauser touched upon a delicate topic.

By now, Vin Diesel seems to have signed a temporary truce with The Rock. Both will participate in 'Fast X: Part Two'. But Hauser's opinion is unchanged. He does not want to hear Diesel's name out of any journalist's mouth.
