A video has been released of the younger Boston Marathon bombing suspect joking around, doing robotic dance moves, and wrestling with a friend.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, is accused, along with his 26-year-old brother Tamerlan, of setting off the deadly explosions near the finish line, killing three people and injuring over 180.
Yushun Tsou, who was on the wrestling team with the teenage suspect at Cambridge Rindge and Latin School, has posted the video online with the words ''this was the Jahar I knew'', referring to Tsarnaev by his nickname.
The footage, taken in a basement during their high school years, shows the tall Tsarnaev dancing in front of the camera and wrestling a friend before he eventually pins him down.
Mr Tsou, who refers to Tsarnaev as a "friend and teammate", is one of a number of the suspect's associates who have expressed their shock at the apparent out-of-character behaviour.
Andrew Glasby, a friend at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth who lived in the same dorm in a floor above, said they had chatted the day after last Monday's bombings.
Dzhokhar was also pictured wrestling in the video "I thought it was just regular old Jahar," Mr Glasby said.
"We had a typical conversation, he was not startled, he was not scared, he was not anything. He was just the same old Jahar."
Mr Glasby also told ABC News: "He had the balls to come back and act like everything was OK, like nothing happened."
He said Tsarnaev had offered to give him a lift home on Friday.
Mr Glasby said he shocked when he saw his friend identified as a suspect in the bombings.
"Shocked is the word for it. I did not expect it. This was out of nowhere," he said.
Two days after the attacks, Tsarnaev reportedly attended a party, and one female student who was also there said: "He was just relaxed."
He had also been to the gym and slept in his dorm room that night.
The suspect is being treated in hospital as Boston pays tribute to victims A former classmate at the university, who would only identify himself by his first name San, said Dzhokhar had told him he was having trouble on some courses.
"He was talking about how he wasn't doing as good as he expected," San, 22, said.
"He was a really smart kid, but having a little difficulty in college because going from high school to college is totally different."
San told the New York Times he would be willing to testify on Dzhokhar's behalf. "I feel like all of his friends would do that," he said.
Peter Tean, 21, a high school wrestling teammate, said he thought Dzhokhar's interest in rough-and-tumble sports came from a desire to be like his brother.
"He's done these violent sports because his brother's a boxer," Mr Tean said. "He really loves his brother, looks up to him."
Ethnic Chechen Dzhokhar is in a critical but stable condition in hospital under armed guard after being injured during a gunfight with police before his capture on Friday evening.
His older brother and suspected accomplice Tamerlan, 26, died after an earlier shootout.
