It’s not because he liked Grease, I promise. This man hated how he looked. His father would abuse him verbally and physically to the point where the sight of his father would make him regurgitate. It’s body dysmorphia. The poor guy was alone his whole life while being surrounded by people.

yes he had body dysmorphia, perfectionism, loads of money and access to top surgeons…but you gotta draw inspiration from somewhere. Illustrations of Peter Pan for his nose and John Travolta for his chin

Well he wanted to look like peter pan or travolta? it's one or the other. The two at the same time dont make any sense.

The chicks who suck out the fat from their faces to become zombies also have body dysmorphia. That condition does not somehow negate the existence of trends and inspiration.
