I know, but he himself said at 0.23 secs, that he gets the shakes... except that I didn't see any shakes during the interview, actually he seemed really relaxed

Symptoms fluctuate in Parkinson’s. We have read enough reports from people who have been accused of faking disability to get parking spots or claim welfare benefits to know realise that not everybody understands that.

Anxiety, brain fog, tremor, Dystonia you name it, it can fluctuate.

Good for him for knowing when he needs to change his direction in life.
