During a press junket for Inside Out 2, the actor made comments suggesting that the Fast And Furious star “mistreats” cast and crew members.

When Hauser was talking about his character in Inside Out 2, Embarrassment, he said: “It’s cool to get to be a part of a character that kinda has an arc and he helps in the end.”

The interviewer then said: “You’re like Vin Diesel now,” to which Hauser responded: “Please don’t say that.”

Hauser then went on to make suggestive comments without specifically calling out Diesel.

He elaborated: “I like to think I am on time and approachable.”

He continued to allude to Diesel’s alleged behaviour, saying: “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.”

Lewis Black, who plays the role of Anger, appeared to agree with Hauser’s point, saying: “That’s awful.”

Diesel wasn’t the only person Hauser went after in the interview. When Black answered the question about which emotion best personifies him, he said: “If intelligence were an emotion, I would choose to be intelligent. Just to talk like an arrogant snot.”

Hauser then joked: “I think Bill Maher is going to get a phone call for Inside Out 3,” to which Black replied: “I hope not.”

Maher is an actor, comedian, political commentator and television host best-known for his political satire and sociopolitical commentary, specifically on his HBO political talk show Real Time With Bill Maher and his late-night show Politically Incorrect.

Last month, Maher called for Louis C.K. to be allowed to return to mainstream entertainment after the writer and comedian was involved in a sexual misconduct scandal.
