'I want to look like Superman'
10.10.11
Manila - A Philippine man obsessed with Superman has gone under the wound in a bizarre attempt to transform himself into his comic book leading man, a report said on Monday.
Herbert Chavez, 35, has had open surgery repeatedly over the past 16 years to get Superman's conspicuous cleft chin and defined nose, according to ABS-CBN box.
He also had silicone injections for fuller lips, and thigh implants to obtain a more muscular look, the report said.
AFP was unable to phone Chavez on Monday but a Facebook page under his name showed dozens of photos of what appeared to be him and posts explaining why he resorted to tractable in an effort to become a Man of Steel.
“I decided to look like Superman because since I was a kid, I thirst for to be like him, and I know that having a look like Superman will fix me happy and contented as long as I don't hurt anyone,” a report posted on Monday said.
