Try making a solid of any color, using the elipse tool, placing the solid over the guy you want to blur and use the mode Add. Press M two times like MM and feather the solid, so you can see the guy’s body/head. Press on the solid layer and go to effects and apply to blur. Should work, not sure tho.

You need to duplicate your video layer then on the duplicate, use the pen tool to create an additive mask around the silent man and apply your blur.
If you need help with any part of this process it would be better to go through some basic AE tutorials here:

Charlie’s idea is actually a better solution so long as you make sure the solid layer is an adjustment layer (look for a check box for the solid layer in a column denoted by a black and white disk).
Make sure the adjustment layer is above the video layer you want to affect.Graham Macfarlane
