I mean, I don't know, he really seems into the role. Like kidnapping us for the sake of Christine's stardom seems pretty on brand. He could be a method actor, though.

He's not so bad! He's just blinded to his actions due to love! Eventually, I'll teach him to realize the error of his ways!

Even if he is... really rude right now.
