It probably happened to every American little boy at some point or another. You tied a towel around your neck, shoved a repulsive amount of gel in your hair, put underwear on over your pants, and looked into the mirror only to find that you still hadn’t become into Superman. So, what do you do? Well, if you’re 35-year-old Philippine Herbert Chavez, you spend years and tons of money getting plastic surgeons to finish the job.
This real-life Bizarro Superman has been getting plastic surgery since 1995 to look more like the Man of Steel.
1995? Did anyone really like Lois and Clark that much?
A news report from ABS-CBN News details the amazing transformation. It also includes an interview with a doctor saying that Chavez likely suffers from body dysmorphic disorder. But, hey, at least he’s going for his dreams, right?
Anyway, the video is pretty ridiculous. The best part may be when it zooms in on every “surgically enhanced” part of his body step by step (chin, nose, cheeks) before pausing on his crotch just long enough for the viewer to think “Waaaaaaait.” They then quickly zoom in on his thigh.
Oooooooh, his thigh. Gotcha.
