I might take him aside after class in a non-disruptive way and ask him specifically what interests him. I disagree with others saying to ignore him or pay him no extra attention. Because students don't come from the same places, live in the same homes, have the same interests, you can't treat them all the same. Sometimes, they need that extra attention at school, so that they know SOMEONE is willing to listen to them somewhere. And it's really great that you're so invested in him. That says a lot about you as an educator.
