Paul Walter Hauser, known for his role as Mole Man in Marvel's 'Fantastic Four: First Steps', confessed in an interview with GQ, reported by Variety, that he wasn't entirely discreet about his character's identity. Despite Marvel's strict secrecy guidelines, the Golden Globe winner openly shared details with numerous individuals.

Hauser acknowledged that while Marvel typically demands actors to maintain secrecy about their roles, he broke norms by telling around 70 or 80 people, including fans and family members. "I pride myself on honesty," Hauser remarked, admitting to his indiscretion.

The actor assured that those he confided in were respectful and did not leak the information. Recalling interactions with fans, Hauser humorously shared how he teased children about his involvement while maintaining an element of surprise.
