OMFG what an utter mental patient. I've go nothing against cobblers but clearly there is more going on here than we are being told about. I hope the FBI are monitoring him carefully.

You might enjoy this article from 2008 which talks about his off-beat and reclusive lifestyle. It even mentions him practicing being a cobbler.

He is obviously a really eccentric person. Everyone should have known that by now.

I must say something: LOL

what an utter mental patient

Funny, lots of people view him that way because of how intensely serious he took his roles throughout his career.

Some see him as a talented but complete oddball. Others think of him as a more down to earth and genuine person (‘specially compared to many actors). He’s the former with probably hints of the latter, haha.

I don't think it's weird. It's like a CEO retiring to tend to his garden or thinker with his gadgets, etc. He probably finds a lot of stress relief doing it especially given his intense method of acting.
