He shared a throwback of himself as a child, excitedly posing for the camera with his tongue out and braces blared, showing off his blood-spattered T-shirt.

The white tee was covered with blood and featured an alien protruding through the chest, a work of clever costuming that paid homage to the sci-fi classic Alien.
