I think he's in pain and has a problem with his right hip. He was in a bad car crash in France

Maybe he is really wearing a mangirdle

Except he doesn't have the hands right. Other than that it is spot on.

You can actually see his vacant facial expression and plasticity so much clearer, looks much more robotic.

the very elderly, or someone who has neuromotor or balance problems.

Putting more weight on the left and swinging the right leg forward.

"he doesn't bend his knees".

in his 20s and could have brain or back injuries dating back to that time.

been in the Vietnam war he was in favor of? Did he get a purple heart?

You can't tell me that's a coincidence.
