I'm over here like "Who bent this dude's trumpet?"

And I'm like, "How'd his cheeks DO that?!"

With enough effort, you can spread your cheeks wider than you anticipate.

Funny coincidence: I've watched a documentary (Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat (2024)) yesterday that included footage of his shows.
I thought: Did they somehow edit his cheeks to look this extremely big when he's blowing the trumpet? But I guess that's just the way it looked. Very impressive.

Yes, I just checked the Wiki and it's "cheek-oriented laryngoceles".
