I don’t even know how he manages not to fall when standing like that. Seriously, have you ever tried? That stance puts a normal human’s center of mass way out in front of your feet, so you immediately topple. Where the hell is his center of mass? His knees?
I oscillate between ‘OMG this is hilarious’ and ‘JFC this is fucking creepy’. Though I see in the comments that a few people have identified it as an obvious and well-known symptom of dementia.
I have indeed tried. I tried it primarily to see if my hands did indeed dangle stupidly in front of the rest of me, and they did. No surprise there: tilting the upper half forward tilts the shoulders out in front of the pelvis, so of course the arms are moved out in front too. Before trying I thought maybe some instinct for balance or something would autocorrect, but nope – the arms just hang out there.
