I just read this story in the Daily Fail about a French man called Loffredo. He aspires to look like a black alien and has had extreme body modification including nose tip removal/upper lip reduction/finger removal etc, plus loads more. The ethics of all this aside, someone mentioned in the comments under the article 'good luck getting a passport'. So it got me thinking. Would he have trouble getting a passport? Would there be identity issues boarding a plane? I'm curious.

He has obviously gone to extreme measures to hide his identity so what is he hiding from

He gone to extreme measures to change his appearance because I think he some form of body dysmorphia. But he regularly posts photos of what he looked like before on his IG and his real name is Anthony Loffredo, so he isn't hiding his identity.

I wonder if he gets a lot of colds because hairs and (sorry) mucous in the nostrils are there to help keep all sorts of things from entering your airway...

Yes. That's my point...if you're posting pictures of people and speculating about if they're well or can get a passport or just generally making weird comments apropos of nothing, you should feel bad, it's shitty behaviour.

Passport photos have to be accredited by a reputable person as being a true likeness of the names person.

I can't see there'd be any doubt at border control , about his passport photo matching his face. Therefore it is him.

Just like anybody else with an obvious facial deformity evidenced on their passport, or their drivers license.

Because you'd think that we'd be past the point of posting pictures of a particular person and then asking people to speculate on something pertaining to their appearance, but apparently we're not and it's tiresome.

Show quote history

If you think we've somehow evolved past noticing people's appearances, you're crazy.
Pretty sure his whole point is to get your attention anyway.

Who on earth did that to him?

That's what I'd like to know. A surgeon allegedly put the hole under his lip. Who on earth would carry out the other procedures eg removing fingers etc? He is very muscly so clearly works out/looks after his body but modifying it like that is pretty outré.
