He looks older. Probably remembers the way things were before the revolution in the 70's. They were well on their way to a much more westernized nation before then. Many were pretty forward thinking. Don't know if he was always that way or a later convert. Most that thought like that got out.

I worked with a guy whose father was one of those. He was trying to get to the US when he saw things were going to go sideways. He figured out he wasn't going to get through the immigration process before it hit the fan there, so he stayed in France for about 6 months waiting for the paperwork in the US to go through.
