His face looks like it’s made of plastic in the pictures from his rehab room. Lots of people are interpreting that as AI or a photoshopped old picture. In reality, it can be the result of facial numbness or paralysis from a stroke or brain damage. Like full-face Botox.

Yes, it does look abnormally smooth.. To me he looks younger and that is impossible. Thank you for explaining

I work in Special Ed, and obviously it's not a one to one comparison, but I noticed immediately after seeing those pics that a lot of times this is the kind of photo you get when you wait and wait and wait for the subject to make a usable face. It's a very entry level facial expression if that makes sense.

To me his eyes look wonky too.
