Paul apologizes for his comment

In his post, shared Sunday, Paul wrote: “A few weeks ago I made a random comment about Vin Diesel. It started out as somewhat humorous, but turned into a spat over behavior I had heard about multiple times and from multiple sources.”

He then added: “I had done a night shoot on a Friday, slept for an hour, and then flew from ATL to LA at 6am to do a full day of press for Inside Out 2. I was exhausted and in my tired state, I opened my mouth and made a reckless and unnecessarily mean comment. That comment was recorded and went viral.”

“I’m sorry I made that comment.”

“I’m just here to say I’m sorry I made that comment. I do get irritated by some of the behavior I’ve witnessed or heard about, and calling someone out, to a certain extent, can be momentarily satisfying,” he said.

He tagged Vin Diesel, then added: “As a self-proclaimed Christian, I need to do a better job of loving people and not trying to ‘right a wrong’ or allow my ego to get in the way of some sort of verbal inflection. It doesn’t make sense in our culture, and it can hurt other people. @vindiesel – I apologize. Thank you for entertaining so many and making them happy. I try to do the same. It’s time for me to shut up. I talk myself into idiocy sometimes.”

Paul previously addressed rumors of Vin Diesel’s misbehavior on set and expressed his displeasure at being compared to the actor, who voices Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. Paul voices Embarrassment in Inside Out 2.
