He may be an amateur. His attitude, however, to place himself in situations where the media finds him is indicative of the hero complex. However, it may not be as complex or intelligently thought out.
I cannot recall the technical term or even find it online right now, but it is where an individual sets up premeditated situations where he harms an individual in order to save him.
