In this day and age, with how easy and accessible plastic surgery has become, it is very common to get a procedure or two done. People rarely blink an eye now if you reveal that you have had a few procedures done.
With how people are influenced these days by celebrities, it is not surprising. However, it seems that some people can perhaps take it too far. And sometimes, it takes plastic surgery and celebrity worship a tad too far.
This man wanted to look like David Beckham, and his wish seems to have gone too far… Keep reading to learn more.
The life of athlete David Beckham is indeed enviable. A stellar football career, combined with marrying the gorgeous Spice Girl, Victoria Beckham, seems to have it all. With a net worth of reportedly over $350 million, he seems to be doing well for himself.
So it is not surprising that someone would want to be like him! A young man named Jack Johnson has spent over $26,000 in government benefits to look like the famed athlete. He
According to an interview, Johnson, who is unemployed, has had cheek and chin fillers, an eyebrow life, changed his teeth, and has been getting tanning injections to “try and get [Beckham’s] skin tone.”
He has also said previously that he plans to spend another $40,000 on other procedures and treatments he believes will help him look more like David Beckham. And when he completes these processes, he will make his acquaintance with celebrities such as Nicki Minaj, Beyonce, and Simon Cowell.
In an interview he gave, he was asked, “Do you ever worry that after doing all of this, spending all of this money, and putting your health at risk, that maybe you should actually just work on you and learn to love the person you really are?”
To which Johnson replied, “Not really, I’m happy looking like David Beckham.”
But of course, things changed dramatically for him, and he did not believe the same thing later on.
His procedures have put him in debt, which apparently, at one point, was so mammoth that it led to Johnson making an attempt at suicide. He explained, “I tried to take my own life because trying to look like Beckham is a full time job and is not easy. Trying to look like Beckham nearly killed me and I don’t want others to make the same mistake.”
It seems that right now he has been trying to reverse all the work he had done and is more content being himself. He said in a message, “Nobody should ever aspire to look like celebrities to that extent, and I’m an example of that. You need to just be yourself.”
It is good to know that Jack Johnson has changed his mind about wanting to look like David Beckham. Share this with others who might not know this incredible story!
