Man has 30 jobs to look like Ricky Martin.
Francisco Ibanez of Buenos Aires, Argentina, claims he had nose, lip, and chin surgery to look like Ricky Martin and ended up “prettier than him.”
A man who underwent 30 cosmetic procedures to resemble Ricky Martin claimed he is “even prettier” than the ‘Livin’ La Vida Loca’ hitmaker.
Francisco Mariano Javier Ibanez was told he resembled the ‘She Bangs’ singer and later decided to have plastic surgery.
On Tuesday, the lookalike from Buenos Aires, Argentina, spoke about the arduous procedures he underwent to look like the celebrity on the TV show Mananisima.
“I worked on my nose, chin, and lips… I desired to resemble Ricky.
Despite undergoing the dramatic transformation to look like a pop star, Francisco recently discovered that it is best to “just be yourself,” a realization that took him a long time to come to.
When asked why he wanted to look like the pop star, he said, “Because we all have a sense of belonging.”
And I didn’t have the distinction of saying, “I have to be the best version of myself” at the time.
“I considered who everyone likes, and yes, people did tell me that I resembled him. So I trusted them.”
Francisco previously described how he had a photo of Martin, noticed how much he resembled him, and decided to “go for it.”
