What did Paul say?
During the interview, when Paul was talking about how much he loves the character he voices in Inside Out 2, Embarrassment, is a proper arc, with the host comparing it to Vin Diesel’s role as Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy. In response, Paul quickly said, “Please don’t say that! I like to think I’m on time. And friendly. Sorry, I like people, but when I hear stories about Hollywood actors who get paid really well and treat people badly, I constantly call them out. And it’s a blast.”
Reactions from fans
Fans reacted positively to Paul’s comments and praised his confidence. One fan said, “There was no fear there, it was confidence.” Another commented, “Yeah just got mad respect for this actor.” One comment also read, “He doesn’t look shy at all (laughing face emoticon).”
