A French man, who transformed himself into an alien, says he is being banned from restaurants.
Anthony Loffredo has dramatically altered his body to fit an alien aesthetic, by removing his ears, nostrils and two fingers. He's also covered in tattoos and has several implants under his skin.
Loffredo says he often gets stared at in public and now claims he is being discriminated against over his looks as some restaurants do not allow him to eat there.
"If I want to eat at a restaurant, sometimes the server says I can't eat on the terrace," the 33-year-old told LadBible TV.
Loffredo, who refers to his body modifications as "the Black Alien Project," says he is only 49% complete with his transformation "to become less human." He says the alien look has helped his confidence grow in recent years.
"There are people that said thanks to me as they feel more secure now. That now the looks they get from other people, don't bother them," he said. "It feels very good. I feel more like myself... I feel perfectly good."
Loffredo started the dramatic transformation about six years ago when he was 27 years-old.
"Little by little, every year, one modification or two. It's a lot of implants. Removal of the mouth, nose, ear, hand," he told LadBible, holding up his left hand with only three fingers.
Many of the procedures he's undergone are illegal in Europe and the U.S., so he's had to visit locations around the world to get them performed.
"My tongue five years ago in France. My nose in Spain three years ago. My eyes in Switzerland six years ago. Ears three years ago in Barcelona. All the tattoos, many in France," he explained.
Loffredo compared his transformation to those who undergo sex changes, who "were born in a body that wasn't theirs."
Although he gets strange looks when he goes out, he has no plans to stop modifying his body.
"There are people who are open minded and people who are close minded. That's the way it is. That's how it will be for all of humanity," he told LadBible. "I can't make everyone be open to everything."
