4. "that pic does him no favors whatsoever" It really, REALLY doesn't!!

Good Lord. That picture is absolutely shocking.

I seriously cannot believe that he is only 39. He looks about 20 years older. They interviewed his mom on the news here in Australia and I was looking at her thinking "why the hell does she look three years YOUNGER than her own damn son??"

5. I expect he'll burn out very early.

Ten years from now, nobody will know who he is, unless they were following this story closely.
