Walter Hauser, who lent his voice to the character of Embarrass in the hit film “Vice-versa 2”, criticized Vin Diesel’s alleged inappropriate behavior in a video, which went viral on social networks.
Word to the wise… During an interview with CinemaBlend to promote “Vice-Versa 2”, Walter Hauser, famous for the films “I, Tonya” and “Cruella”, denounced the alleged unprofessional behavior of Vin Diesel on filming.
In a video posted on Tuesday, June 25, the interviewer compared the character of Embarrass, played by Walter Hauser in the animated film, to Groot in “Guardians of the Galaxy,” played by the star of “Fast and Furious,” declaring “You’re like Vin Diesel now.”
“Don’t say that, please. I like to think that I am on time and accessible. I love people, but when I hear stories about Hollywood actors who are very well paid and who mistreat people… I constantly denounce them, and it’s a pleasure, “replied the actor, although he never played with Vin Diesel.
The scathing response referred to the action star’s reported years-long behavior of constantly being late to film sets, leading to his feud with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson during the making of “Fast & Furious 8.” “.

“Some [acteurs masculins] behave like upright men and true professionals, while others do not. Those who don’t are too afraid to do anything about it anyway. Dead ends. When you watch this movie next April and feel like I’m not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is boiling, you’ll be right,” Dwayne Johnson wrote in a post on Instagram, since deleted, in August 2016.
Online rumors quickly blamed Vin Diesel, who has carried the film franchise since the first film was released in 2001. A few days later, after filming wrapped, Dwayne Johnson shared another Instagram post in which he thanked some of his teammates by name, including Scott Eastwood and Nathalie Emmanuel, but did not mention Vin Diesel.
Last year, a former assistant to Vin Diesel sued the actor, claiming that in 2010 he pinned her against a wall in a hotel suite and masturbated in front of her. The actor has “categorically denied” the allegations against him.
“This is the first he has heard of this 13+ year old allegation made by a so-called 9 Day employee. There is clear evidence that completely refutes these outlandish allegations,” Bryan Freedman, the comedian’s attorney, said in a statement.
