But at the end, when the video was almost done, there's a moment where there's people kneeling down, getting shaved.

I recognized him at once. I recognized him immediately. The second I saw him, I knew it was him. He has a tattoo and it's a Chinese phrase like on his sideburn. And obviously when they were shaving him, you could see it. And he has long curly blonde hair. And he's the only one who had hair like that. I mean, it was him. It was him. That was him.

I just felt so, so sad when I saw his face, like he was suffering. His eyes were swollen. He must have cried so much. And then immediately I went home, I turned on my computer and I started to look, and immediately I saw that he was no longer in the U.S.

I spent a lot of time with him at the barbershop.
