Francisco Mariano Javier Ibanez, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, 33, has admitted his addiction to plastic surgery.
He said that his desire to look like Ricky Martin started a long time ago, when people remarked that there was a resemblance between him and the Puerto Rican singer.“I took it as a joke, but I started to make some changes and the likeness increased.” He then decided to go all the way, saying: “I got a photo of him, I realized that I liked him and, like everything in life, when I like something, I go for it.”
However, Francisco, who said he was “born for television and cameras” and “feel[s] incredible” when people ask him for a selfie in the street, now admits that he regrets changing his appearance to look like someone else. Despite now having spent around $8,254 on cosmetic procedures, he said: “Now I am able to realize that the ideal thing is to be yourself, not someone else. In a recent interview on Argentinian TV channel Cronica HD, the Ricky Martin lookalike acknowledged his cosmetic surgery habit, saying: “I think that, at some point in your life, addiction develops and then gets worse.”Ricky Martin on the Honda Stage at the iHeartRadio Theater Los Angeles on February 10, 2015.
