Judging by the picture he's already chilling out on a cloud in Heaven, basking in his smug sense of self satisfaction.
Actually it looks like he's in limbo waiting to be judged, like a nerd who knows he just aced his exam.
I remember when his hair care products first hit the stores. I loved the almond scent and they were great products that didn't cost a fortune.
