A lot of times I think it stems from English not being a first language, or a non professional translator giving the wrong impression.
Maybe in Swedish he generally has a funny tone to his conversations, but it comes across as cocky in English? His own English isn't perfect (although very good), so perhaps he tries to exude confidence by being brash, who knows.
In my parents native language, direct translations to English are awful.
I really don't think that he has an attitude problem, but time will tell.
