I doubt he does. I translated a couple articles and there wasn't anything like that. This post keeps disappearing behind hidey-holes due to a massive amount of comments to this thread but I'd like to chime in with it:

I did an image search using his name. I wanted to see what they were talking about with the barn. In photos of him it seems like there is so much sadness and depression behind his eyes you can see right straight through to his heart (it seems). He looks like he is in some kind of emotional pain even in the pictures where he is smiling.
