Yes Yum Mum,
He seeems content with her handling the Int...but what about after the show..it is not as if he is dumb or stupid..he is quite sharp with a dry wit ...he has to over come his shyness and wariness re media and he has to do it sooner rather than later..
I hold your pov he will need the media. Yes I think he has a wicked sense of humor but my finding his attitude refreshing is not going to get him work. He must lay it on thick for the media.
