A prime leisure reporter revealed who he thinks was the rudest — or maybe least thoughtful of journalists’ time — in a newly launched podcast.
Longtime reporter Nelson Aspen dished the main points about an terrible interplay with “Fast and Furious” celebrity Vin Diesel throughout an interview on “Flaawsome Talk” Tuesday hosted by fellow leisure reporter Kjersti Flaa — saying Diesel made him watch for hours earlier than they may chat.
“I was talking to you last time [on the podcast] about lateness – chronic lateness, which was a problem with Vin Diesel,” Aspen advised Flaa on the YouTube speak present.
Flaa instantly reacted saying Diesel’s title was the primary one which “popped” in her head too when eager about celebrities who’ve a popularity for making reporters wait.
“It was ridiculous. I mean, it wasn’t just being kept waiting ten minutes or even an hour but it would be like, two hours, five hours, seven hours, I mean ridiculous,” Aspen mentioned.
The actor “pulled the kid card” for why he was tardy however Aspen questioned the authenticity of the motion star’s claims.
“Why didn’t you just call us then instead of keeping all of the crews waiting, all the journalists waiting, and that’s money,” Aspen complained. “That’s money that Vin Diesel wasn’t paying. That’s money that the studio was paying.”
The tardiness brought about reporters to overlook their flights and should rebook every thing simply to get again dwelling.
Flaa even shared her personal story about Diesel not exhibiting up on time for a press occasion to advertise “F9: The Fast Sage” at Common Studios throughout the COVID-19 pandemic — when reporters needed to watch for him in masks.
“He was about six hours late and then we were told, like, you know what he did? He took his kids to all the rides,” Flaa mentioned.

Diesel isn’t the one superstar that’s usually late for conferences with the press. The veteran reporter claimed “SexyBack” singer Justin Timberlake doesn’t observe the clock both.
“We went to [Las] Vegas and it was another one of those things. Late, late, late, late. Finally we had to choose: we could either leave because we had flights to catch or we’d have to make the arrangements to stay for another day,” Aspen mentioned.
Timberlake was not too long ago slammed by followers on Oct. 8 for suspending his present in Newark, New Jersey minutes earlier than doorways opened as a result of he had an “injury” that prevented him from performing.
“Weeds” actress Mary Louise Parker as soon as saved the journalist ready too however she was so apologetic that Aspen “believed” she was being trustworthy in regards to the delay.
Even “The Hunger Games” actor Woody Harrelson saved reporters ready for half an hour as a result of he ate lunch and didn’t need to be on digital camera with an unwashed mouth, Aspen snitched.
“He didn’t want to start the interviews after lunch until he’d brushed his teeth. It was like half an hour. Somebody had to go out and get him an organic toothbrush because they only had, you know, the plastic ones. But hey, he’s a man of his convictions. I respected that,” Aspen added.
