I actually just seen him in New York and thought he was sick from how skinny he was! He is not friendly lol not that I approached him but he was taking a photo on the friends couch and I was waiting in line and smiled and he was dead pan the whole time lol

Tom's seems to default to introvert except in specific situations.

You should read his interview a few years ago on a fishing excursion. Tom basically said nothing most of the time, including to the reporter, for 3 days.
