Would absolutely make sense for his level of narcissism ( lower end ) and need for external validation given the way his parents were - way more concerned about their public image than anything else ( cerebral narcissism basically ). Kids raised by a cerebral narc can go either way ; become a huge empath / people pleaser, or they accept the 'golden child crown' and become a narc of sorts themselves.
Kids that aren't seen / heard by their parents, and go the empath / people pleaser route generally develop an over sharing / talking too much issue as is - in a nutshell, you just want to feel like someone actually likes you for who you are.
