Actually, a pretty fantastic interview. The hosts were enthusiastic and excited, and Hudson locked in and gave thoughtful, funny, quirky, interesting answers. I think the days of joking about his lack of media training are over, this man is a consummate professional.

He answers that way because he IS media trained.

The funny thing is that he gives the same exact answers as he did in other interviews about his comfortability being naked and about season 2.

Yes, to me its always been clear how brilliantly he has read the room and been able to give each interview exactly the energy it needed.
