    This is completely unfounded and I have zero facts to back this up, but he comes off as creepy with kids. It’s just a hunch, but if I had kids, I would not let them near the man.

      Creepy in a way similar to mr. Beast. I don’t think he’d be bad with kids, he just comes off as incredibly fake to me.

      I guess the votes so far disagree with you, but I could see your icky feelings coming from the same stuff that I perceive with the “walking brand.”

      Everything is planned and rehearsed. He reminds the viewer repeatedly how he can be trusted. But it still feels like every word was passed through a committee to make sure nothing bad leaks out.

      In my social circles I’m the fun parent that the kids like to play with, and maybe some acquaintances have gotten creepy vibes on occasion, but that’s more a reflection on society at large and how fear and negativity sell news. Nothing that can’t be solved with transparency and consistently just being a decent person.
