He is not afraid to speak his mind and is open to confrontation, which frequently causes banter between himself and the rest of the band, seeing himself as the so-called leader. Throughout the music video, Ford shows himself to be an upbeat, passionate character, always prepared to push himself for the best in life.

He tends to banter with Ford and Christian, especially with the latter, as they frequently tease one another.
