Here's some more ideas. All these options are fine:
He was not [who / what / how / like / as / the way] he seemed to be.
Note: there is a risk of offending someone by speaking like this. Because it's like calling someone "two faced" and "fake". So it's important to elaborate, giving more detail, to make clear you're not calling him "fake" or "two faced". For example: "Initially I thought he would be like this, but once I got to know him I realised he was like that." - This way you're admitting you made a mistake of pre-judging him, rather than him making a mistake of being fake.
A comma is not strictly needed in these sentences, but helps a lot in making them easier to understand instantly:
Those whom the angels love most, tend to die young.
Whoever god loves, seems to die young.
Note: saying "gods" is blasphemous (sinful, and sometimes offensive) to Christians and Muslims because they are monotheistic (they do not believe in multiple gods, and they often believe it's a big sin to suggest there are multiple gods). So I recommend using the singular "god" and/or multiple "angels".
