I saw the guy live, he is just the same as in his latest movies. Yes extremely charming and attractive. Not sure the term 'nice' would be correct one.

I've heard that he is an incredibly nice guy, but he's also very focused. Because of his past he tries to avoid distractions while working. So, many may perceive his concentration on the job at hand and lack of "interaction" a personal slight, he's just trying to do a great job. Can't blame him for that given his past. He certainly isn't a "self-obssessed narcissist who doesn't play well with others" in real life.

What he brought to Tony Stark was the revelation of dealing with a completely life altering scenario and the struggle of trying to reinvent oneself. Add his natural comedic timing and that's the amount of self imbedded within the character. The rest he may have drawn on his past in order to portray with conviction, but I guarantee that he doesn't go home at night thinking that he is better than everyone else like Tony Stark does. He was extremely humbled by the reignition of his career after such a public fallout with Hollywood.
