7 Fans That Spent Tons of Money to Physically Transform Into Their Idols
We all have our own idols, and sometimes we like to copy their style. But while the majority of people feel like buying some clothes that can only be found in celebrities’ wardrobes, others go further and try to literally transform their bodies to get closer to a desired image. And some of their idols aren’t even living creatures, which makes the whole process even more spectacular.
1. Pixee Fox, the living cartoon
This model spent $120,000 on 15 surgeries to look just like the cartoon character. But for this purpose, she had to get a 14-inch (35.5 cm) waist. That’s why she had to remove 6 of her ribs to get a closer resemblance to the famous Jessica Rabbit.
2. Jordan James Parke, the male Kardashian
This guy is a huge fan of Kim Kardashian. And he’s already spent $150,000 on more than 50 cosmetic procedures to transform into his idol. And he keeps doing it, even today.
“I love everything about Kim,” he said. “She’s the most gorgeous woman ever. Her skin is perfect, her hair, everything about her.”
And looking at his past pictures, it’s obvious he’s made a massive effort to look like he does now. He’s had Botox, lip and cheek fillers, eyebrow tattoos, and laser hair removal.
Many people consider him to look fake and plastic, but Parke just laughs at them. “Do they think I’m going for the natural look? If I was, I’d ask for my money back,” he says to such people.
3. Rodrigo Alves, the living Ken doll
Alves has spent over £373k on aesthetic procedures in an attempt to achieve the “perfect” body image. He has endured more than 57 surgeries, but still decided to withdraw his application to the Guinness World Record for the highest number of surgical procedures. He simply thinks that bettering one’s appearance shouldn’t be seen as a competition.
4. Jack Johnson
Johnson was a teenager when he started to alter his appearance to look more like David Beckham, and he spent £20,000 to do so. He had Botox and tanning injections, lip and teeth fillers, and now plans to have a gastric band to complete the transformation. Currently, he believes that it’s his weight that is currently holding him back from truly looking like his idol.
5. Toby Sheldon
This guy spent 5 years and £100,000 in an effort to look like Justin Bieber. Sheldon is a songwriter himself, and Bieber’s appearance was a true inspiration for his numerous surgeries, which predictably included face fillers, a chin reduction, and eyelid surgery.
“When Justin Bieber got famous, I was so jealous of his good looks! He had this baby face that I just really liked,” said Sheldon. “Once Justin shot to fame, his face was everywhere and all I kept thinking when I saw his picture was ’I want to look like him.’”
6. Herbert Chavez
Clark Kent’s transformation into Superman was very simple. However, in real life, it took Chavez a bit longer — 16 years of plastic surgery and around £4,400 to be exact. He had multiple nose jobs, skin whitening, lip liposuction, pec and abdominal implants, and jaw realignment to become a living superhero, or at least look like one.
7. Justin Jedlico, one more living Ken doll
This man spent $15,000 (£11,000) to thicken and lower his hairline and get new eyebrows and sideburns. He was just 18 when he had his first nose job and has gone through over 630 cosmetic procedures since then.
He spent $625,000 (£445,000) on his nose, cheeks, chin, jaw, forehead, lips, shoulders, back, 6-pack abs, biceps, triceps, and backside, and many more procedures. “I’m really happy with how I look now,” says Jedlico. “Everyone talks to me about it, even my bank teller commented on how good my hair looks.”
