Personality and personal interests
Michael has had a reputation for taciturnity . He once said to his grandmother, "I have learned not to say what I feel, and to smile at those I most hate." Before getting to know his future wife, Anne of Bourbon-Parma , Michael had a romantic relationship with, among others, a Greek woman, Dodo Chrisolegos, a protegee of the former Romanian Communist Party leader Ana Pauker. Some claim that political influences had been exerted upon King Michael through this liasion. Michael was head of the Romanian Boy Scouts in the 1930s. Michael is passionate about cars, especially military jeeps. He is also interested in aircraft, having worked as a commercial flight pilot during his exile.
