To everyone who is saying that he is "misquoted and actually a good guy"
No. All of you who suspected that he is a massive douche are correct.
I can't go into too many details of the personal experience that my friend had with this douche (that I witnessed) because he STILL likes him-- such is the mentality of people who love Whiplash and want to be servile to a d--k themselves. But if I divulged too much of it he would never get that SELFIE WITH HIM THAT HE WANTS SOOOO MUCH.
But I would just say that the guy couldn't possibly have a larger douche ego. My god.
The cr@p that Hollywood is foisting on us....
As a lot of you have pointed out, they really, really want this dude to be a star. I hope that he will remain just an underground niche act.
