I just saw an interview where his mom (a single mom and educator) described how he was teased and bullied in school. It made him believe in himself even more as he set out to prove them all wrong. He also had ADHD which is why his mom enrolled him in swimming in the first place --to burn off some of that extra energy. Way to overcome those odds!!!!!
I think he's a sweetheart!!!!!!!!!! Not bad on the eyes either!!!
