His latest public appearance comes after a fellow actor took a stab at Diesel during an interview earlier this year.

Actor Paul Walter Hauser launched a surprising spray on Vin Diesel in a recent interview, recoiling when the interviewer jokingly compared him to the action star.

Recent Golden Globe winner Hauser was sitting down with outlet CinemaBlend in a press junket for his latest film, Inside Out 2, in which he voices the character “Embarrassment.”

But he had no embarrassment hitting back when the interviewer joked to Hauser that his character’s arc in the animated film means “you’re like Vin Diesel now.”

“Please don’t say that,” he shot back, explaining: “I like to think I am on time and approachable.”

Hauser’s Inside Out 2 co-star Lewis Black reacted with shock as he explained his surprise diss.

“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.”

Meanwhile, on Saturday night, Diesel joined his Fast and Furious co-stars Tyrese Gibson and Cody Walker at Fuel Fest in California.

During his brief appearance, Diesel told a crowd of fans what they can expect to see in the final Fast and Furious film.

He also confirmed that it’s likely to be released sometime in 2027 after numerous delays.

“The studio said to me, ‘Vin, can we please have the finale of ‘Fast and Furious’ [in] April 2027?’” Diesel said. “I said, ‘Under three conditions.’ First, is to bring the franchise back to L.A.! The second thing was to return to the car culture, to the street racing! The third thing was reuniting Dom and Brian O’Conner.”
