'I shot my mouth off': Paul Walter Hauser apologizes to Vin Diesel for earlier 'mean-spirited' comments
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Comedian Paul Walter Hauser has apologized for his "needlessly mean-spirited comment" on Vin Diesel.
The 37-year-old during a press interview of the new flick ‘Inside Out 2’ shaded the 'Fast & Furious' star after a reporter compared his character, Embarrassment, to Diesel’s playing Groot in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
"Please don't say that. I like to think I am on time and approachable," Hauser responded.
He added, “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."

Paul Walter Hauser in his latest Instagram post, shared a quote from the Bible and reflected on his comments made on Vin Diesel.
“A few weeks back, I made a random comment about Vin Diesel. It started somewhat humorous, but unraveled into me dogging him out over behavior I had heard about on multiple occasions from multiple sources," he began his lengthy caption.
The ‘I, Tonya’ star continued, "I was exhausted and, in my fatigued state, I shot my mouth off and made a careless, needlessly mean-spirited comment Just here to say that I am sorry for having made that comment."
"I do indeed get riled up by some of the behavior I've witnessed, or heard about, and 'outing' people to any extent can feel momentarily satiating,” reported ET.

Paul Walter Hauser tags Vin Diesel in his apology post
Paul Walter Hauser, who mentioned a quote from the holy book, shared an image, "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life," and admitted he was wrong for calling out Vin Diesel.
“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. It isn't fair of me to make judgments of that kind, and even if some of those things turned out to be true, it is mean to shout them out and playfully attack someone."
Hauser even tagged the action hero, and praised him, "@vindisel - I apologize. Thank you for entertaining so many people and making them happy. I'm trying to do the same. Time for me to be quiet. I sometimes talk myself into idiocy," he wrote.
Diesel hasn't yet responded to Hauser's diss in the past and the present apology.
