Thirty-four-year-old Anthony Loffredo insists he is just a ‘normal bloke’ and wants to be treated as such.
A man from France who turned into a ‘black alien’ has claimed he can’t find a job because people ‘judge him’. Anthony Loffredo has undergone extreme body modifications, such as splitting his tongue to create a forked tongue effect, and is covered head to toe in tattoos – including his eyeballs. Mr Loffredo considers himself a ‘project’ and posts about his body modifications on his eponymous Instagram. The Frenchman also had two fingers amputated to make his left hand look like a claw.
Mr Loffredo recently appeared on the Club 113 podcast, where he admitted that he gets a lot of ‘negative’ reactions because of his unique appearance. ‘There are people who, when they see me, they scream and run away. I’m human, but people think I’m just crazy,’ the Independent-affiliated publication quoted him as saying.
‘I can’t get a job, there are a lot of negative things. It can be positive because you feel better about yourself, but you have to know that there is a dark side,’ he said.
Loffredo said he recognises that his appearance can intimidate people, so he tries to make people feel comfortable by ‘stepping aside’ when crossing the road.
‘It’s a struggle every day because every day you find new people who don’t understand, who want to judge. That’s life, not everybody understands everything. I for one don’t understand a lot of things about a lot of people,’ he explained.
The 34-year-old singer claims he’s just a ‘normal guy’ and wants to be treated as such.
He has 1.2 million followers on Instagram and many people take a keen interest in his body modifications.
