However, Charlize Theron remained thoroughly unimpressed by his remarks. She appeared on the Ellen show and said, "He’s literally going around saying I had the best time of my life. They’re like, ‘Do you think she liked it?" and he’s like, 'Oh yeah, oh yeah, she loved it'."

She further went on speak about their smooch and said, "I like a little bit more movement in my men… And he’s standing there, as his character should’ve, frozen, like a dead fish." The actress also said, "It looks like I'm assaulting his face with my mouth."

Later, Diesel appeared on the Ellen show and reacted to the 'dead fish' comment. "What?! C'mon guys! Do I look like a dead fish?" Diesel stated. He added, "First of all, you don't come on Ellen with the wonderful animation of Finding Dory and compare me to a dead fish."
