I don't see it as much "over" reaction, as probably a defense mechanism. He can claim he's comfortable in his own body -- I don't even know if he does make that claim -- but it's hard to imagine the other crit about his physical appearance don't weigh in there somewhere. Oops...another bad pun. So he tends to get a bit heated and over-explain, over-compensate, when confronted with stuff like this, when he'd be better off just shutting his face.
