The amazing thing about Timmy
was he did...
1:04:05
He had this Prince Valiant haircut.
1:04:08
And he could surf
and go under water,
1:04:12
and yet still that hair would hide
his receding hairline.
1:04:16
It was the most
amazing thing I'd ever seen.
1:04:19
No matter how rough the surf,
1:04:21
you never saw Timmy's forehead.
1:04:23
I don't know how he did that.
1:04:27
How's the hair look?
1:04:30
At some point in Timmy's life,
1:04:32
he had a near fatal overdose.
1:04:35
How he survived it,
I don't know.
1:04:38
He was a tough guy.
1:04:40
But I guess it was
an epiphany for him.
1:04:43
After that he was looking
for a different persona.
1:04:49
I guess that's when
he came up with
1:04:52
where he was from
and his delightful accent.
1:04:56
I never questioned it.
1:04:58
Treadwell's need to invent
a new persona for himself
1:05:02
led him to elaborate
fabrications.
1:05:05
He claimed to be an orphan
from Australia,
1:05:07
and even checked out details
of a small town in the Australian outback
1:05:12
in order to sound convincing.
1:05:15
His accent, though,
remained suspicious.
1:05:18
It almost sounded more Kennedy-esque
than Australian.
1:05:22
After Timmy's death,
1:05:25
people said, "Well, don't you feel
betrayed that he did that?
1:05:30
That he didn't tell you the truth
about his accent or his origins?"
1:05:35
And that never bothered me.
1:05:38
Timmy always amused me.
1:05:40
There's an old saying
on the farm,
1:05:42
"If it doesn't scare the cows,
who cares?"
1:05:45
Well, I don't think
Timmy ever scared the cows,
1:05:49
so who cares?
1:05:51
He was troubled.
I mean, it...
1:05:56
One time he went to a doctor.
1:05:59
They wanted to put him on some kind
of an antidepressant or something
