Now, for the first time, he shares the story of his unlikely rise to fame in his own words—with no punches pulled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eToday, he stars in hit films, headlines sold-out tours, hosts the popular Uncle Joey's Joint podcast, and is a devoted father—but his life wasn't always so picture-perfect. Joey \"Coco\" Diaz credits his success to his \"immigrant mentality,\" the work ethic his mother modelled for him and on which countless others have depended to survive the harsh landscape of being an outsider.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDiaz wasn't always a star, but he was always a comedian—it just took him a while to figure it out.
