In an unprecedented attempt to metamorphosis into a “black alien,” a guy known as the world’s “most modified man” has severed two of his fingers, transforming his hand into a claw-like structure.
Anthony Loffredo, a 33-year-old Frenchman, is determined to redefine his appearance, having previously bifurcated his tongue, excised his nose, and adorned his body with tattoos and piercings.
Despite undergoing a series of astounding changes, including the removal of his upper lip earlier this year, Anthony claims that he has only completed 34% of his desired transformation.
For more than a decade, Anthony has engaged in dramatic body changes, often at great risk, including eyeball tattooing, which momentarily impaired his vision.
His drive to push boundaries led him to surgically remove both of his ears in order to achieve an extraterrestrial look, as well as other modifications such as tongue splitting.
Anthony has travelled the world for his many makeovers, seeking medical operations abroad because they are forbidden in his own France. Last year, he travelled to Spain for surgical nose removal.
His face characteristics are further improved by dermal implants, which give him a textured appearance with defined lines across his cheekbones.
Anthony discusses his extraordinary metamorphosis on his Instagram account, the Black Alien Project, which has 718,000 followers, and continues to wow his audience with his unwavering commitment to changing his physical identity.
In a post-surgery photo, Anthony exhibited his latest endeavour, the fabrication of a “alien claw,” with a bloodied, stitched scar on his palm and the message “I develop my inner peace.”
While his daring changes frequently elicit strong reactions, Anthony’s audacity earns him both admiration and scepticism from his followers.
A commentator stated, “This is both alarming and intriguing. I don’t think I could take such a risk, but I applaud you for following your dreams.”
Another person praised Anthony, saying, “Congratulations on moving forward with the project.” It is absolutely fantastic.”
However, detractors weighed in, with one claiming, “Blatant disrespect to those that are unfortunate to have lost limbs and look for ways to function as the human body should.”
Despite the varying answers, Anthony is committed to his transformational journey, which he has been passionate about since a young age.
“I experienced a pivotal moment during my time as a security guard,” he told French publication Midi Libre in 2017. “I realised that I wasn’t living the life I really wanted. At the age of 24, I made the daring decision to abandon everything and travel to Australia. Over time, it has become second nature, even instinctive, for me to constantly visualise and strategise my objectives for the next months.”
