A man has spent big (about $60,000) in order to transform himself into a real-life elf. The 26-year-old fantasy fanatic identified as Luis Padron, from Buenos Ares, Argentina, has been determined to transform himself into a mythical creature since his teens after finding solace and acceptance away from bullies in the fantasy world.
To achieve the dream, he’s had liposuction on his jaw, a rhinoplasty, full body hair removal, laser skin bleaching, eye colour changing, a vampiric hairline op and more.
Last week in Los Angeles, Luis went under the knife to have his ears cut apart and reshaped to resemble the pointy personification of an elf.
This follows shortly after flying to specialists in Korea to have his jaw broken, filed and screwed back together into a diamond shape, similar to an anime character.
Since his appearance alterations, he feels more comfortable in his skin and after fully healing he hopes to be cast in the new Lord of the Rings TV series as an elf.
