The 36-year-old said he moved back in at the beginning of the pandemic due to lockdowns, but it was like he never left because his room was still the same. "Oh holidays when I go see them I'll dip back and forth in there a day or two at a time, but this is definitely the longest since I've left home for college. It was nice, I got all old action figures in there, posters, and my most prized posessions: I got my Jordans signed by Michael Jordan that are still there," John David confessed.
