C'mon, his eye-stare is an affected typical starlet trait
as in "aren't I precious".
The reason why it looks "creepy"(as some of you say)is because it's put-on/ affected, in that effeminate way. When he goes home, he can relax until he looks in the mirror and prepares for the next day. Of course, every other actor who walks on set is doing the same thing to be unique, or every other gay man in a bar who wants to look "intense".
Same thing: pampered background, charmed life, typical gay look. Nothing new here. Sort of what a female model does on the cover of a magazine to show how sparkly she is
