ok, well to be clear, I never said he was shy - I said he was soft-spoken, and not intrusive, but that he does stand his ground. Animal used the word shy, but he/she was just talking about the video you posted of him as a kid.
anyway, i will say that even though i never used the word "shy," i would say that he consistently does not seem to be an agressive person. and that interview you quoted...lol, good find, but he actually looks kind of shy there. I'm not seeing an aggressive SEE at all.
i'm not sure what to say except that i have seen a ton of interviews where he does not seem combative, yet he does seem comfortably grounded. i do not think he is necessarily timid, just not very agressive. maybe he can be agressive though. but i will say, it seems easier for the interviewer to manipulate the way the audience sees bruno when they are relating the interview in the form of a written article. it's easier for the interviewer to depict bruno how his audiences will find most interesting and entertaining. i sort of think that videos are more honest depictions in this context.
