In a recent interview for his latest film Inside Out 2, in which the actor plays the emotion of Embarrassment, Hauser made some comments about the Fast and Furious actor.
The actor accused Vin Diesel of being hard to work with, in an interview with CinemaBlend, who compared his voice acting role to that of Diesel as Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy.
“Please don’t say that. I like to think I’m on time and approachable.”
Hauser explained in his Instagram apology that his comments about the actor were unnecessary and uncalled for.
In the original interview, Hauser claimed: “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.” Referring to Diesel.
However, the Black Bird star had a change of heart and regretted his decision to discuss people he had never actually met.
“As a self-professed Christian, I need to do a better job of loving people and not trying to ‘right a wrong’, or allow my ego to posture itself with some sort of verbal flex.”
“It just isn’t additive to our culture, and it can hurt other people.”
The Instagram post, an image of Bible Verse “1 Thessalonians 4:11”, ‘Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life.’
In the lengthy Instagram caption, the actor explained why he made such comments and apologized for the misunderstanding.
“I was exhausted and, in my fatigued state, I shot my mouth off and made a careless, needlessly mean-spirited, comment. That comment was recorded and then went viral.”
“I no longer feel that way and am genuinely sorry for shooting my mouth off and not showing love to Vin, who I do not know and have never met.”
The end of his apology was directly addressed to the Chronicles of Riddick star: “@vindiesel – I apologize. Thank you for entertaining so many people and making them happy. I’m trying to do the same.”
