A UK man, who might look scary to many, said he wants to look like a real-life alien and that is why he has done the extreme body modifications. Anthony Loffredo, 32, has covered himself in tattoos and piercings to make himself look like a real-life alien.
Who is ‘black alien’?
Anthony Loffredo has grabbed eyeballs after he transformed himself into a ‘black alien’. Anthony through various medical procedures has sliced off his upper lip, nose, ears and has split his tongue into two. Not only that, the 32-year-old has his body covered with tattoos and piercings. He has dubbed this, the “Black Alien” Project, with pictures posted to his thousands of followers on Instagram.
‘The black alien project’ on Instagram
Anthony has documented his transformation from being a normal guy to being the ‘black alien’ on his Instagram page called the_black_alien_project. His Instagram bio reads, “black alien project evolution” and has 345k followers on the app.“From a very young age, I have been passionate about mutations and transformations of the human body. I had a click when I was a security guard. I realised that I was not living my life the way I wanted. Stopping everything at 24, I left for Australia. It has become normal, even unconscious, to constantly think about my plans for the next few months,” he told a French Daily in 2017.
Shared photo with mother on Mother’s Day
Loffredo, on the occasion of Mother’s Day in UK, uploaded a photo on his Instagram handle with his mother to show that she supports him. The post has garnered more than 38,700 likes. “Mum tells them it’s not true – she doesn’t have nightmares when she looks at me. I manage to put a smile on your face and that for me is one of my best victories. A mother never judges her son,” he captioned the post.
Wants to get more modifications
Anthony has also uploaded a few throwback pictures of himself which show the before and after version of his transformation. Reportedly, Loffredo is planning to get his skin removed and replace it with metal in the near future. He also wants to have modifications to his arms, legs, fingers and the back of his head.
He is ‘Proud of his looks’
In February, Loffredo had confessed that after getting his upper lip and nose removed, he struggles while speaking but despite that he is proud of his looks. Loffredo got most of his transformation surgery done in Barcelona since it is not legal in his country. “I love getting into the shoes of a scary character,” he said.
