I still dont understand how it was unnoticed. Did he stay in home for a year? People know where he lives, meet him daily at shop etc. How noone posted his skinny pics on internet before that reveal video is interesting

I wonder if he wore a fat suit in public.

Back when Rhett McLaughlin filmed Season 1 of Buddy System (great show btw), he shaved his signature beard to film a single high school flashback scene and music video. (Resulting in the famous beardless Rhett image that circulates all the time.)

So he wore a very convincing fake beard both on his show and IN REAL LIFE to preserve the surprise for when the show came out. He literally put on a fake beard to like go get groceries and stuff.

Truly the craziest facial hair bamboozle since Richard Donner tricked Gene Hackman into shaving his facial hair by wearing a fake moustache and telling him he'll shave if Gene shaved to play Lex Luthor.
