Michael's look was in stark contrast to his appearance a few weeks ago when he added a selfie where none of his features could be seen because they were hidden behind his mass of black hair.

Michael recently shared a photo of his much longer hair 

"Adulting is hard nowadays. It's very hard for kids. Job opportunities aren't what they were. The economy is driving this trend," she said.

"I know that Michael graduated college in May of 2020 and he had a writing job lined up which evaporated because the pandemic shut down the production and it just never came back."
