If he stays shy it's probably what you've been having him do while in that basement! Oh Rach!!
But seriously I feel he's shy when around people he's not close to. If you see in the events when he's surrounded by his soccer buddies (King, Phet, Great, Boy, Nadech, Louis, etc) he's comfortable - though he still doesn't seem to have the total confidence the others have. Poor boy! It's those stilted movements, the quiet smiles - that's him all the way, only in his movies then you don't see him like that; he's perfect when acting. Pope don't look like someone who thinks "Hey, I'm very handsome! I've got a great voice! I'm a terrific dancer!" because he's not & he's aware of it. Right now he's probably even surprised he's rated like a sex symbol & idolised by everyone!
@phatman is right to point out his awkward hands - when actually our adorable samee is Mr. Awkward Everything!
Ok, a question :
@Amata or you guys living in Thailand - in most of the dramas when the characters choose a beach holiday they'll 99.9% say "Hua Hin". Is this a very beautiful beach in the country?
