What was wrong with this one @mons  ? Totally fair that the others are too small, but is this one not big enough either?

The source might appear to be large enough at an initial glance, but when you crop just the face, it's only around 200 pixels in height (as per the attached). The current cut might be from 2018, but it's very crisp and he looks practically identical in it.

 

Cutting the source and upscaling it will see it lose that little bit of sharpness, and it would therefore not be an improvement to the current cut.

 

I know it may seem pedantic, but I don't think it's worth replacing an excellent older cut with a decent newer cut when he looks the same, so it makes little sense to have it cut. If it were a bit bigger, then it might well be an improvement.
