    It’s scary how socially awkward he is, especially as a successful rock star and lead singer who can perform songs incredibly in front of crowds of thousands but struggles to talk in an interview. Adds to his charm and shows how down to earth him and the band really are even after all the highs

      In this particular interview he's quite friendly towards the interviewer. The same thing with Zane Lowe or Matt Wilkinson from Beats 1. He (and the rest of the Monkeys) hates to do stupid interviews with repeating questions like "are you excited before the show" or stuff like that. He just doesn't have great social skills. And I know a guy who knows him and yeah. He is in fact shy.

    It seems he doesn't get held accountable and that he's surrounded by yes men and women. It's not his fault but he's just always relying on his charm to get him everywhere. It appeals to people who already like you but you're not going to win anyone over.

      When you have to make this comment under every single video you start to realize that maybe that’s how he is in interviews. I mean it’s either that or he’s on drugs 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

    Everyone saying “it’s just alex” when they talk about how much trouble he’s having when he talks or thinks but no it’s definitely the drugs that have damaged his mind. Seen it.
