Vin Diesel has proven just how unprofessional an actor he is by deciding an interview was the appropriate time to start hitting on the journalist sat in front of him.

Why do people think Vin Diesel flirting with this interviewer is okay?

Spoiler: When a woman or a man is trying to do their job, it’s never the appropriate time to start hitting on them.

On Wednesday the married Fast & Furious actor met Brazilian Youtuber Carol Moreira, who had smart and thoughtful questions for the actor about his career and how Tom Hanks had become his mentor.

But Vin didn’t want to talk about the work he was promoting, or his career, or anything professional.

No, he decided that it was the right time to act like a creep and instead tell her that her beauty was too distracting, and that he wasn’t able to continue with the interview because she was just ‘so f***ing sexy’.



Vin mate, that’s not her problem, it’s yours. Keep it to yourself.

He was mid-sentence when he halted and exclaimed: ‘God, you’re so beautiful, she’s so beautiful, am I right or wrong? How am I supposed to do this interview, look at this woman, talk to me baby.’

And as Carol tried to get him back on track, he ignored her requests to tell her his story and added: ‘Tell me your story, let’s get out of here, let’s go have lunch’.

The rest of the interview is then peppered with Vin’s declarations of love as Carol attempts to focus his attention back on to the topic at hand – his career and the movie he is promoting – but it’s all to no avail.

Because Vin is only thinking about himself and not about how uncomfortable he is making Carol feel: ‘I love you. I love her, man she’s so f***ing sexy. I can’t do this interview, look at her’.

Also, Vin, it’s rude to keep your sunglasses on when you are indoors.

Carol later confirmed that she was left ‘uncomfortable’ by Vin’s advances: ‘I just laughed because it was a very delicate situation. I did not like it.

‘At the time I did not know how to react, but you will see that I was uncomfortable, it was not nice that he interrupted my work.’
