Have you noticed how his smile reaches his eyes now? When I was looking through Getty images of JD while he was with AH, he just had this pained look at times, a drained sadness in his expression which was really noticeable to me.
JMO, but since the verdict, I think he actually looks like he's enjoying life again, like there's a massive weight off of his shoulders.
Yes, it’s very obvious, it’s like blood and oxygen flowing through. His skin actually looks different! Carrying that burden and anguish for the last 6 years would suck the life out of anyone, plus recovering from the previous years he lived with her. He’s lucky he is alive!
