i think it is his real persona, actually. when listening to him talk, as i did once when he was being interviewed for some reason, i was struck by how impressively inarticulate he is. one can *almost* understand the words. it was so amazing that i continued to watch it. he's like an imminent train wreck; it's so awful, but you can't bear *not* to look! he sat in the interviewee's chair, twitching, mumbling, suddenly flailing about, and yet responding to the interviewer's cues...if you watch johnny depp's jack sparrow, it's all there.
