In an unprecedented attempt to transform into a “black alien,” a guy known as the world’s “most modified man” has severed two of his fingers, turning his hand into a claw-like appearance.
Anthony Loffredo, a 33-year-old Frenchman, is determined to change his appearance, having previously bifurcated his tongue, excised his nose, and covered his body in tattoos and piercings.
Despite undergoing a series of remarkable changes, including the removal of his top 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 danger, such as eyeball tattooing, which briefly impairs his vision.
His willingness to push boundaries led him to surgically remove both of his ears in search of an extraterrestrial appearance, as well as other modifications including tongue-splitting.
Anthony has travelled the world for his many makeovers, seeking medical operations outside of France because they are forbidden in his home country. He travelled to Spain last year to get his nose surgically removed.
Dermal implants improve his facial features, giving him a textured appearance with definite lines cut across his cheekbones.
Anthony recounts his incredible growth on his Instagram account, the Black Alien Project, which has 718,000 followers, consistently impressing his audience with his unwavering commitment to changing his physical identity.
In a post-surgery photo, Anthony displayed his latest endeavour, the fabrication of a “alien claw,” with a bloodied, stitched scar on his palm and the phrase “I develop my inner peace.”
While his brazen changes frequently elicit conflicting reactions, Anthony’s audacity earns him both admiration and scepticism from his followers.
According to one commenter, “This is both scary and exciting. I don’t think I could take such a risk, but I admire you for pursuing your dreams.”
Another person praised Anthony, writing, “Congratulations on moving forward with the idea. “It is fantastic.”
However, others weighed in, with one claiming, “Blatant disrespect to those who are unfortunate enough to have lost limbs and seek ways to function as the human body should.”
Despite the many 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 the French publication Midi Libre in 2017. “I realised that I wasn’t living the life I genuinely desired. At 24, I made the daring decision to leave everything behind and travel to Australia. Over time, it has become almost natural for me to continually visualise and strategise my objectives for the following months.”
