Why he might be annoying:

    His comment regarding the sex change rumor was ‘I would like to get my hands on the person who started this rumor. It's one of the most vicious rumors ever disseminated about an actress or actor. It's as vicious, mean and horrendous as it is untrue. It staggers the mind that someone would spread a rumor like this.’

    He dyes his hair to look young.
    He always has a serious no nonsense look.
    He is arrogant.
