Oh, I hope not. Based on his interviews, he seems to be an intelligent person, and with that in mind, I hope he realizes that what we say or think (whether positive or negative) doesn't amount to a hill of beans in the grand scheme of his life. Honestly, it was his acting ability that drew me to the character of Ianto Jones, not what Gareth look's like in a suit or how pronounced his cheekbones are. I live in the US, and I often think how great it would be to live in the UK and have the opportunity to see GDL (and David Tennant) on stage.
