Vin Diesel He has been a controversial figure in recent years. The star of the saga Fast & Furious He has seen his popularity slightly overshadowed by his public dispute with Dwayne Johnson or the sudden departure of the director Justin Lin of Fast & Furious with filming just started.
Although his fight with The Rock is already resolved and Dwayne Johnson will participate in the latest installment of Fast & Furiousthe bad reputation that the figure of Vin Diesel has generated and his alleged behavior on the filming set are a little more difficult to erase.
So much so that even other stars avoid being compared to the actor as much as possible, which leads us to Paul Walter Hauserfor whom a certain comparison has not sat well at all.
The actor of Cobra Kai either Locked up with the devil is one of the voices of Inside out 2, the Pixar film that is sweeping the box office. Paul Walter Hauser voices Shame in the original version of the film.
Is it bad to be compared to Vin Diesel?
In an interview with CinemaBlendPaul Walter Hauser was compared to Vin Diesel for his voice role in Inside Out 2, alluding to works such as Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy or Santiago in the adaptations of ARK that the star of Fast & Furious. But Hauser has not been enthusiastic about that comparison.
“Please do not say that. I like to think that I arrive on time and that I am accessible. I love people, but when I hear stories about Hollywood actors, who are paid very well, who mistreat others, I call them out on the spot.“.
Although Vin Diesel has built a very “familiar” and close public image with fans, his reputation for having an excessive ego is quite large and grows with each alleged scandal in his productions.
Despite this, perhaps Paul Walter Hauser is wrong to react that way in an interview, whether he is right or not, even if he is not the one who brought Diesel up.
