As another data point to this: i am a man of few expressions, i was born with quite a poker face and have been accused of lacking affect many times. I have my smiling bouts but i largely operate with minimal movement of my facial expression and with no movement of my forehead like this furled brow "look at me on instagram" type of face.
That video shows how he decided to "startle" his forehead to give something to the photo...just like every other idiot on social media trying to get attention for a self portrait
The progressive increase in voluntary use of the frontalis in such manner should be indicative of something. Is he aware his eyebrows are creeping up? It's just like the toothy smile.
Darwin proposed Facial Feedback hypothesis 130 years ago, the use of facial muscles affect your mood. IE if you smile, you will feel happy(So question begged to be asked, is whatever emotion, is something bald people want to feel, just a thought). And it's applicable in emotional recognition, unconscious (30ms)displays of happy or angry faces increase EMG activity from the smiling and the frowning muscle.
