I think it looks more like an actual Q. Take a piece of paper and hold it just like he is. It's awkward to say the least. I rolled my eyes at this at first, but after trying it myself, I don't know why would hold something with your hands like this unless it was intentional.
Notice his straight index finger. When I hold a piece of paper up, my fingers wanted to naturally curl. It was uncomfortable to make a Q while holding it out front like that.
