Like last night we went out and i tried quite hard to get him to open up etc but he truly is rude.
Judging from my own experiences, he probably did not only like people trying to force him to open up, but probably also realized that people considered him rude for not wanting to open up. This happens to me a lot and I wish people would just let me be until *I* feel like opening up to them! Nothing is more awkward for me than when people try to force me into being social when all I want to do is just take relax and be left alone until I feel like chiming in. He probably felt like you were pressuring him, and deep down, knew that you had judged him as being rude, or different, or whatever for his unwillingness to be social. Considering how he had been treated in the past, I can't say I blame him for being "rude" with a bunch of people who had been assholes to him.
