I think his popularity took a nose dive with that MichaelJackson-like croc in one hand, baby in another stunt. The general public didn't take kindly to it. And his protestations of what was perfectly safe ring a little hollow now that he's met his end through his beastie-interactions of sure-looks-dangerous-to-me.
I will always remember him fondly, however. He had a real shining personality, and his fearlessness bordering on foolhardiness was simply part of the charm.
