Why he might be annoying:

    He is graying, making him look ten years older than he really is.
    He constantly denies his sexual orientation despite admitting that he dated a stage designer named Ian MacNeil.
    His attempt to direct a film version of 'The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay' ended in development hell.
