At release he (in)famously described Linux as "just a hobby" that "won't be big and professional," so I strongly suspect there's a bit of cheeky / self-referential Torvalsian understatement going on here.

So take comfort: Linus probably is the dad rocker type, he's just also a Finnish dad rocker type. :D
