He had a makeover? Still seems like a greedy robot to me.

Well now he looks like a greedy robot who’s had some kind of cosmetic hair surgery, a really deep tanning session and mainlined some steroids

His hair is hilariously bad. It's like Bender put on a wig

He doesn't look like he mainlined steroids to me, I think he still looks like a punk.

Also he tries to dress like people he probably would have talked shit about back in college.

He started a combat sport and it changed his physique. I don’t know why people insist on the worst possible explanation when it comes to people they dislike. As if reality doesn’t matter anymore.

I obviously don’t know if he is taking something, but I’ve been around that same combat sport long enough to know that it does increase your muscle mass drastically and makes you a lot more fit. Basically, he started his new hobby for his body wellness, which is a good thing. You don’t need steroids to look like him, he is just skinnier and more athletic, that’s all.
