      Yes, he is. He has had a hard life as he suffered a very serious bowel condition and was very ill for a year. He also lost a lot of weight. Finally an operation saved his life. His large intestine was removed.

    Was in Liverpool today to check out the vibe and parking etc before going to Semi #1, and last minute remembered about WiWi at Lush... Turned up just before his hourly segment, and first off he just randomly posed for a pic I was taking as he walked in (the fact he noticed me and took that 2 seconds to do that - cute af!). Then after this interview, had a quick meet & greet where he shot a short video for me to send to my best friend Vix who is NUTS about him haha (again, his sincerity shone through).
    He was my clear favourite to win this year for many reasons, and after meeting him, I was honestly touched by how genuinely sweet this guy is! And win or lose (although I really have a feeling he will win), I really hope he gets every bit of success because people like him deserve it :)
    Käärijä, if you ever happen to read this.. five stars, five stars... no, no, one :D Jokes... Thank you so much for making my day epic. (and Vix was bouncing off the walls when she saw her video!) :)

It just makes him more funny and it suits his goofy public persona so perfectly. He's utterly human and that's what people like about him. This, the clothes and the song. It's a perfect package.

      Käärijä's answer was perfect. I think because Finns have their sauna culture (all ages / size mixing together, so it's not just one type of nakedness that's seen, unlike in most of the rest of the world), they don't seem to have so many body-consciousness hang-ups.
