Man spends $30,000 on 11 plastic surgeries to look like Michael Jackson, says still not satisfied with his look
A 22-year-old Argentinian man is reported to have spent a whopping $30,000 on around 11 plastic surgeries as well as other cosmetic procedures ever since he was 15 years old in the hope of becoming the "ultimate" Michael Jackson impersonator.
Leo Blanco who hails from Buenos Aires performs as a tribute act to the King of Pop and is absolutely obsessed with looking like the late pop star.
And in his quest, Blanco has transformed so much that his mother is worried about the change in his physicality and sometimes wonders, "Is this my son?" reported the the Daily Mail.
According to reports, Leo has been obsessed about looking like Jackson, and even after 11 surgeries he is still not satisfied with his look and plans to go under the knife again.
Since he was 15 years old, Blanco has been modifying himself as well as his appearance, including procedures to make his chin 'more masculine'.
Leo has many fans who he says follow him around as he does shows and also on the street. He added that as a child, he would constantly watch Jackson and "absorbed everything" about him adding it was not possible for him to be anything else but this.
The youngster revealed how each surgery gets him one step closer to his dream but his mother does not necessarily share the same views. She admitted that she was worried about her son's well-being and wondered whether he would die in surgery.
When she sees her son, she sometimes asks herself, "Is this Leo? Is this my son?" to which her son jokingly responds saying it is his mother's fault that he was not born "better looking."
His mother also warned him that he should not treat his procedures like "going to the hairdresser."
In a video clip, Leo is seen undergoing a procedure which will help him get a squarer jaw as his father watchbes on. Post the surgery, there is a very visible change in his face, though according to Leo, there are many more surgeries to come if he really wants to be the best Michael Jackson impersonator in the world.
