"He was more conservative than he let on."
no he wasn't. or at least there isn't any evidence of that.
he was a private person and was exactly as conservative as he let on publicly.
norm occasionally publicly talked about his politics, and also how he didn't like to talk about politics in general.
that article is about how he was anti-political and didn't like to disclose personal beliefs, not about how he was a secret conservative.
it's a little gossipy, but it's pop-culture spin on a few off-hand public comments over his entire lifetime of public appearances, not private, new information that changes anything already known to the general public.
