Actually no, since good people are quite common and there is no need to believe that he isn't good. I'll give you a list of other things that he could do or have that doesn't need evidence:
He has:
A dog
A cat
A house
A car
A bike
Little things like these do not really require evidence unless you are being pedantic or there is evidence that would contradict the claim e.g. He says he has a dog but he is also allergic and has a phobia of them. See this would make me question his claim and then I would want evidence.
