His charm is not something that anyone could have…he is blessed to have that kind of charm where everyone is hynotized to his looks, smile and expressive eyes which is sexy and oh so captivating. Its NOT his fault at all to be that great and charming. He absolutely deserve all the accolades because He deserved it more than anyone. This is indeed his time to shine and boy he is shining so brightly more than a diamond. He should be called a Diamond Star.
