In today’s society, where plastic surgery is more accessible, it’s not uncommon for individuals to undergo cosmetic procedures. People rarely react when someone openly discusses their cosmetic enhancements.
Given the influence of celebrities, it’s no surprise that this trend is prevalent. However, some take it too far, crossing the line between cosmetic surgery and idolizing public figures.
One such case involves Jack Johnson, who spent over $26,000 to alter his appearance to resemble soccer icon David Beckham.
Johnson, who is currently unemployed, has undergone multiple procedures, including chin and cheek fillers, an eyebrow lift, teeth alterations, and tanning injections to match Beckham’s skin tone.
He plans to spend another $40,000 on additional treatments in his quest to look even more like Beckham.
In an interview, when asked if he ever considered embracing his natural self, Johnson replied, “Not really, I’m happy looking like David Beckham.” However, the immense debt from these procedures led to a suicide attempt.
Johnson now regrets his obsession, stating, “Trying to look like Beckham nearly killed me. Nobody should aspire to look like celebrities to that extent. You just need to be yourself.”
