Same! The way he does sometimes sort of looks like he has this superhero complex, but tbh after watching this my mind is also changed, and his skill level is out of this world, so yeah maybe he deserves a little bit superstar status :P

Imagine if people laughed at James or didn't take him seriously. The more we love people, the more we let their uniqueness out and let them florish.
