I don't think he was being unprofessional, I think he was just being upfront and not beating around the bush. Nothing wrong with that. If the guy had 20 more interviews to go to, he may want to shorten that list by getting the money issue out of the way to start and that you're within his min range. (This is all assuming he really is a so-called 'rockstar' and you've checked his folio: Someone worth dealing with shortly but in the end produces stellar work. Those kinds of folks are really hard to find). It's also a 20-sec selling point for the company not just the interviewee, it works both ways. I few friends of mine are real jackasses when you speak business to them, but after all that's settled, you find out they can really create awesome work and are a pleasure to work with. Again, some ppl just don't have as much phone charm as others. Others just aren't as good communicators as others. Think AD should have dug a little deeper before ending the convo so quickly. that's all. maybe try sending an email out and reworking that convo again instead of letting it go.
