"and was seemed pretty laid-back for a billionaire. "
Reminds me of what my mom said many years ago when she met Jay Leno. She remembered how nice he was to her and how she didn't expect that.
I think that when you are a public person like that you probably have to try to make extra sure that you aren't a "dick" or a "tool" lest word gets around that harms your image. Especially when you are on TV.
I'm not saying that he isn't (I don't know him from before he was famous) but I would imagine that you have to go to a conscious effort to be on your best behavior or suffer (as we might see from time to time with celebrities) the consequences of not treating people in a really nice way. And to not seem as if you are above them.
For example I was at a restaurant last night, didn't like something, and complained. I'm sure if I was famous or well known I would have thought twice about what I said and did. And if I did complain I would have done so in the most charming and deferential way.
- mindcrime 13y agoThat's a fair point, and I don't claim to know him well enough to make any strong claim one way or the other, regarding whether he's a "cool guy" or a total asshole. All I can say is that, given my one brief encounter with him, he came off as an OK guy. Maybe that's natural, maybe it's manufactured, who's to say about such things?
