This sounds like Bell's palsy - my uncle had it last year. It usually resolves in a few weeks with treatment. Hope he gets proper medical attention.

While I admire his humor, I wish celebrities wouldn't make light of serious medical conditions. It might discourage others from seeking timely treatment.
