That can only go in his favour imo. 
It's a bit off to compare him with Meg Ryan - she was decidedly icy in the Parky interview. I don't think BW was at all - he seemed to have a sense of humour and be quite good natured about it all. I still think he was painfully shy and I also think Alex exuded impatience which would have only made matters worse if he is shy. Matt on the other hand was a bit of a grinning buffoon.
Somebody on the comments section of the DM said he is known to have a stammer. Perhaps that played a part.
