OMG I had to stop it after 15 seconds. So awkward!

He has something weird going on with his mouth, like he was chewing on something. I don't see anything to indicate not being sober - he has odd mannerisms. I thought the interview was horrible - all about his daughters and nothing about why they were there, which was for his portraits.

I couldn't watch the whole thing. It has to be drugs...I don't think even alcohol would make him like that.

Hmmm.... the way he moves his mouth makes me wonder if he's not had a mild stroke. I'm not being sarcastic, I'm serious.
I do find his outfit kind of funny, it's like he's dressing how he THINKS artists dress. hehe.

That might explain Matthew Perry too. I can't watch Odd Couple because he does this weird thing with his mouth. I think he's the weakest link in that show which really surprises me. |

I do find his outfit kind of funny, it's like he's dressing how he THINKS artists dress. hehe. I'm leaning to the stroke thing, too. At first I thought he was chewing something, but as the video went on I really think he was struggling to control his tongue. I know it sounds weird, but a quick search of recent images show a lot where his tongue is hanging out. Not being able to control his tongue would definitely cause what is effectively a speech impediment. |

I've always thought he was a odd duck.

I think he's the weakest link in that show which really surprises me. There were also a lot of comments saying that the mouth 'behavior' is "exactly what happens on..." Meth/cocaine/prescription drug addiction/etc. Who really knows? He's been REALLY weird since the divorce. |

I can't say I've ever paid any attention to him, so have no idea if he always speaks like this or not.
Medication side effects is a possibility (hundreds of different drugs can cause a dry mouth) and also a mild stroke with residual speech deficit could also be the cause of someone having unusual mouth movements and some difficulty with speech.
Tardive Dyskinesia isn't that common, I've only seen it twice and it looked quite different to this, plus if he is on those sorts of drugs, surely his doctor would have reduced the dose or changed his meds before it got to that stage, particularly if he was going to be in the media spotlight.
Maybe he has a significant medical condition.
I don't think it is necessarily or obviously recreational alcohol or drug abuse.

Some more interesting behavior at a recent fashion show. I'm leaning away from stroke and towards him being on something(s). Pics |

Okay, this is a video interview from 2 years ago. VAST difference in behavior, and not just the weird tongue movements. (I'm not really invested, just bored sitting at my daughter's dance recital practice.) Video |

If it's not a medical condition, my money is on cocaine. I haven't been around it in over 30 years, but his actions sure brought back memories. Anyone familiar with the song I Can't Feel My Face, by The Weekend? That's what not being able to feel your face looks like.

A relative of mine had a similar tongue issue. His was due to meds he was taking.

While I have no firsthand knowledge of cocaine, I can believe it's possible that an 'artist' who is acting so OUT THERE while also exhibiting weird facial movements could be using it. |

Yuck, I've always thought he was a creep. Now this just solidifies it!

My first impression was that his mannerisms are side effects of psychiatric medication. This is based on working on a psych unit for 8 years.

He's been through quite the transformation since divorcing their mother -- the presumption being that he is gay. Wasn't he a practicing minister at one point? Anyway, he just had his first art show as a portrait artist. I don't know which drugs do what, but there is no way the man was sober in this video interview!

What is going on with his tongue?? He and my ex went to school together. That presumption has been around since middle school. Looks like he has something in his mouth he isn't familiar with... like new dentures. |

I've known people who make those mouth moves when they are doing a lot of coke. Whatever it is it's weird and hard to watch.

Usually when you here of a man coming out later in life, after a marriage even, no one is surprised and everyone expected it since childhood. |

He's been REALLY weird since the divorce Unfortunately I have witnessed the mannerisms of several meth addicts and he looks exactly like what I have seen. |

Off topic, but my son was already doing those things before taking an anti-psychotic drug.  |
