Leo Blanco
Leo Blanco, a 22-year-old man from Buenos Aires, in Argentina, has
reportedly spent over $30,000 on plastic procedures over the last seven
years, in an attempt to mimic Michael Jackson’s look.
Blanco is one of the thousands of Michael Jackson impersonators
around the world, but what sets him apart from all the rest is is his
obsession with looking just like his idol.
He started watching the King of Pop as a young child and knew very
early on that he wanted to be just like him. At age 15, Leo turned to
plastic surgery to fulfill his dream of becoming a lookalike of his
idol, but seven years and 11 plastic surgeries later, he is still not
content with his look, and plans to alter his appearance even more.
In a video interview with Barcroft TV, Leo Blanco claimed that he
has so far spent over $30,000 on plastic surgeries and other cosmetic
procedures. He’s had four surgeries on his nose, as well as operations
on his cheekbones, jaw and chin.
The result is pretty impressive, as evidenced by the legions of
fans who follow him at his shows and even on the street, but to his
family, the transformation is disturbing.
Leo Blanco’s mother said that she has always been worried about his
drastic transformation, and admitted that she sometimes looks at him
and wonders “Is this Leo? Is this my son?”
The impact of all the cosmetic procedures on Leo Blanco’s face is
clearly visible, when compared to photos of his younger self, but the
young Michael Jackson impersonator claims that he still has a long way
to go to achieve his dream of being the best Michael Jackson
impersonator in the world.
“I put my body, my soul, and all my money to be the world’s best Michael Jackson impersonator,” the 22-year-old said.
