Dermot O’Leary is not of this earth

For no apparent reason I have been dwelling on something tv presenter Dermot O’Leary said once that struck me as key to his personality, although he never would have guessed the significance of the admission. He said that he finds people in general fascinating. This would explain his trademark laid back attitude. He is detached. He views the world and all its denizens as if he is at a zoo: with polite curiosity. His apparent unfazeability comes from the fact that he feels unthreatened by us; we are separated from him by the bars of a cage. The only reason he is on the outside is because his attitude is objective and impartial. Anyone would think he is from a different planet to be so unfazed by social decay which threatens any residents of our world. That is the answer: Dermot O'Leary is an alien. You heard it here first, folks.
