A 33-year-old man from France has dedicated his entire life to becoming a “black alien” – so much so, he has apparently had two fingers of his fingers chopped off to create a ‘claw’.
Anthony Loffredo is no stranger to the operating table. The wannabe extraterrestrial uses his Instagram platform (@the_black_alien_project) to document the journey of his extreme body modifications to almost 1 million intrigued followers.
In his most recent endeavour, Loffredo appeared to have travelled to Mexico for the obscure surgery.
“On the other side of the world to continue my project,” he wrote in a caption, adding that the procedure is “one more dream that has just come true.”
Loffredo later took to the platform to share the end result, proclaiming that his transformation is now “34%” complete. Some users were less-than-pleased.
“Blatant disrespect to those that are unfortunate to have lost limbs and look for ways to function as the human body should,” one user wrote.
Another concerned person said: “Wow! I’m curious at what point will these modifications effect your ability to live a healthy life.”

The self-proclaimed “black alien” has covered himself in tattoos and piercings for his extraordinary transformation.
Loffredo had his nose surgically removed in Spain – after the operation was illegal in his native country. He has even risked tongue-splitting and had dermal implants put in his face.
He told the French paper Midi Libre in 2017: “From a very young age, I have been passionate about mutations and transformations of the human body.”
“I had a click when I was a security guard. I realized that I was not living my life the way I wanted. I stopped everything at 24 and left for Australia,”
“I love getting into the shoes of a scary character. I often settle down somewhere and play a role, especially at night in the dark streets … I explore the contrast between the role I play and myself,” Loffredo added.
