Now that I have to agree with, he is an out and out dude, most certainly cooler than most people out there.

He is very cool, but it's a shame that in japan he's not really seen as a serious actor/director. In fact he's seen as the japanese version of Chris Tarrant. (Note for people outside the UK, Chris Tarrant is a benign annoying game show host)

but Chris Tarrant doesn't make good movies!

I agree sir.
And for added measure,

Morgan Freeman is way cooler than I am.

He's actually much more respected in Japan, but for his comedy rather than his films. The Japanese love him as a comedian/personality, but they don't quite understand his 'artistic' side which comes out in his films (and paintings and poetry.) So while he is actually quite loved and respected in Japan, it's not for what westerners would generally think of as respect. They don't find him annoying as a telelvision personality. They find it annoying that he feels he must express his artistic side through his films.
