2. His father, Fred Levine, founded clothing store and online retailer M. Fredric.

3. He knows that before he joined reality singing show The Voice as a judge, “the occasional soccer mom probably thought I was a slut.”

4. According to a polling firm, his “likability” has increased by more than 20 percent since he’s been on the show.

5. He was “a total dickhead” in high school.

6. He watches The Daily Show.
