Luigi Mangione Appears Camera Shy in Court Before Hamming It Up for Photog

Luigi Mangione doesn’t know his fate yet in court … but he does know his camera angles.

The man charged with murder in the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson appeared camera-shy on the eighth day of pre-trial hearings Tuesday. He appeared to motion the courtroom photographer a little further back while being snapped.

Look at the pics … at first he’s visibly uncomfortable, shielding his face and stretching his arms out to suggest a little distance.

But then, he opens up … leaning forward and flashing a giant grin.

The 27-year-old, who’s become somewhat of a fashion icon, was dressed to the nines, of course. He wore a pressed white dress shirt under a gray suit.

It’s totally understandable that Luigi would be wary of appearing unflattering on camera … police body cam footage of his McDonald’s arrest was released earlier this month, showing him changing his story with officers and presenting them a fake I.D.
