Paul Walter Hauser on The Luckiest Man in America, Outsourcing Hollywood, Sobriety, and the Time a Joke Went Too Far

Actor Paul Walter Hauser joins The Adam Carolla Show to discuss his latest film, The Luckiest Man in America, which tells the true story of a man in 1984 who cracked the game show Press Your Luck. Paul shares behind-the-scenes details on working with Clint Eastwood in Richard Jewell, working on the new Naked Gun film with Liam Neeson, his love for wrestling, and Hollywood’s tax-driven exodus to international locations. He and Adam riff on everything from George Clooney’s perceived intelligence to America’s obsession with aesthetics over substance. Paul also opens up about his personal journey, including sobriety, therapy, and learning to balance fun with wisdom, and how his casual joke about Vin Diesel spiraled into a viral controversy, forcing him to issue an apology he never expected to make.
