Goofy, thanks so much for posting! I think he's the funniest person on earth......... On an opposite note, what a tough childhood he had. People just assume stars have it easy all their lives and they just don't. Even though it's years later by this time, it's pretty clear that the bullying still stayed with him and the issue still bothers him. It's hard to listen to him talk about the abuse he suffered as well.. How awful.

I was bullied by a boy who was bullied by his father. My mother did nothing.
