hellmuth wasnt a douche when he was 23 because he was some childrens book writer. when he won the main event at 24, he didnt seem arrogant at all. (well, he hadnt got anything to brag about yet.)
maybe he got more arrogant as the years went by and he got more self-confidence etc.
and I think hellmuth has good social skills outside the table. he just is a bad loser and theres a little acting too.
