The ‘Human Ken Doll’, Rodrigo Alves, has entered the Celebrity Big Brother house don’t you know.
Starting as he means to go on, dramatically, Alves has warned he’ll sup nothing but champagne, prosecco and cava.
The 34-year-old, who has spent in surplus of £500,000 on 160 procedures, claims he wants people to see ‘the real him.’
Hoping Big Brother will be fair on him, Alves has asked them to cater to his pricey organic diet and even warned them he will be bringing in his own hair straighteners.
Taking the idea of reinventing yourself to a whole new level, Alves has spent nearly half of his life transforming himself into the complete opposite of what he looked like before going under the knife.
Convinced he was born into the wrong body, he has undergone numerous surgeries in his quest to achieve ‘perfection’.
Open about the surgeries he has had, 34-year-old Rodrigo wrote on Instagram:
I was not born this way! I made myself this way. It has been a very long journey for me and it is an ongoing process.
I represent a new generation of a modern society where we have the freedom to be what you wanna be and showcase that on social network.
It feels good to be at home and to be able to let my hair down barefoot, no make-up ,no fancy clothing, no noise, only the sound of the birds singing and the breeze from the sea that blows the trees around my house.
Although Rodrigo here does sound at peace and confident within his new body, he does admit that there is still work to do.
Reportedly using ‘the best plastic surgeons’ he could find around the world, to date Rodrigo has undergone 58 operations since 2000 and plans to have many more.
Speaking to The Sun, Rodrigo talked about what is next on his journey:
I was born in the wrong body and I have spent my entire life trying to reveal the real me.
Now I’ve achieved my dream face and body I plan to stop the ageing process using stem cell technology.
I’ve already had lots of them injected into my face, scalp and bloodstream.
My aim to always look ageless and maintain my unique looks, after all there is no other man or another Rodrigo Alves that looks like me.
I get a lot of attention due to my artificial looks – but I finally love myself and that is the most important thing of all.
Being bullied at school while his parents were going through a divorce, Rodrigo had hit a new low that caused him to go under the knife.
If he’s happy now, who are we to stick our noses in slag him off? If Rodrigo wants to reach for the cosmetic stars then so be it. Takes all sorts to make up this planet.
While I don’t indulge surgery for the sake of surgery, I get my kicks by volunteering for numerous charities and saving abandoned dogs. Not that I’m bragging or anything.
