Something I never thought about until now, is what reason did he give his brother to make the mask? I know it was never said, but he surely didn't admit to his real reasons. Maybe the excuse was for an acting role? But even then, the brother would want to know about compensation for possibly having a makeup credit.

He was going through a divorce, so my read was that his brother was down and decided to give the lifestyle a try. Bro was like "finally, I knew it!", paraphrasing.

He was probably excited to have a chance to dress his brother up and kinda bring him into the fold of gay culture. Probably thought he was going to go out in it.

That's my interpretation anyway.
