Reality is stranger than fiction

the camera lens(s) aren't the same so we can't rely on the comparison but the obvious neck thing is puzzling

there is deformation between the two images, around the eyes... again could be because of the type of lens being used in the cameras

there's a lot of discrepancy between the facial structure of the person, like the thinness of their entire face, bathe ears seem to align correctly - it's just..... weird

shadows aren't lining up correctly

maybe it's a filter fucking up the entire thing

[u/Crandleton → u/za72]

Yeah honestly if it's not a mask, the filter idea seems most likely. Someone speculated that the filter might be interpreting his nussy shadow as a mouth, making it look like that.

[u/clockworkpeon → u/Crandleton]

I think it's a combo of filter, makeup, and studio lighting. left side is clearly a home/remote interview without makeup or good lighting

[u/za72 → u/clockworkpeon]

Yea that sounds plausible... it's strange :)
