A celeb-obsessed man has spent over £100,000 in a bid to look like Britney Spears.
Bryan Ray has endured more than 100 cosmetic surgeries so far in an attempt to transform into the Oops!…I Did It Again singer, and he's not planning on stopping.
The 31-year-old, from Los Angeles, has vowed never to stop after having Botox, lip fillers, fat pumped into his cheeks and laser hair removal.
He even went under the knife for an eyelid lift in the hopes of replicating "Britney’s big beautiful eyes".
Despite all the work, Bryan still says his look 'isn't perfect' after undergoing surgeries since he was a teenager after being inspired by his "perfect" idol.
He explained that he got the bug for cosmetic work after his mum paid $25,000 (£22,200) to get veneers on his teeth to replicate Britney's smile.
"I’ve been doing this since I was 17 and I am not finished. I am an ongoing work of art," he said. "When I look in the mirror at myself I am very happy. Am I perfect? No, absolutely not."
Bryan explained that he is "human just like everyone else" but aspires "for a certain level of beauty that I draw my inspiration from Britney Spears."
"That will never change because my admiration for her has only grown over the last two decades," he added in an interview with The Daily Star.
Confessing his love for the queen of pop, Bryan added: "I think [Britney] is more beautiful now than I did 20 years ago because my emotional growth is stronger.
"She will always be the pinnacle of beauty in my eyes and I will always strive for a beauty like hers."
Bryan is very committed to his look and gets a Botox injection top-up every six months "for maintenance", he also gets hair removal surgery on his face and entire body every eight to 10 weeks.
"I also want to be clear that I’m not disillusioned into thinking I could bring a photo of Britney Spears to the best plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills and I would then look like Britney Spears," he said.
Bryan added: "That was never something that was in my head thinking I would look 100% like her.
"I understand my face, my symmetry, my features and what I’ve done is work in collaboration with plastic surgeons to see what characteristics could be altered in a way that is inspired by Britney to resemble that look of hers.
"I do get that people don’t understand it. People might call me weird or crazy but I think being open about it in the way I have will help eliminate the stigma."
He's even been able to show his look to Britney herself, having met the chart-topping songstress several times in person.
Recalling his favourite moment, a chance meet during a family holiday in Maui, he said: "As fate would have it we went to an outdoor little shopping event and they had little tents.
"I went into a little booth and it was very small and I was just looking at the beautiful artwork and jewellery and I saw from the corner of my eye someone come into the tent and I heard this soft spoken voice of a woman with a southern accent.
"I remember thinking 'oh my goodness that sounds like Britney'. She had her back to me but her lower back was exposed and I saw the fairy tattoo.
"I really got to have a special conversation with her and I got to thank her for being such an inspiration to me and helping me find my identity and I also got to tell her that I loved her smile so much that I had my teeth done to resemble hers.
"She told me my smile was absolutely beautiful and that was a tremendous compliment of a lifetime. She left me feeling like she was a really kind and down to earth person.
"She happened to be the most famous woman on the planet but she didn’t act like it. She took the time to speak to me and had kind words that I will always hold dear to my heart."
