Man invests over $120,000 to look like Britney Spears
Los Angeles, California - One man who is obsessed with Britney Spears claims to have had more than 100 cosmetic procedures performed on him in an effort to look like the princess of pop.
Bryan Ray is said to have begun visually approximating Britney as a teenager, when his mother gave him $25,000 for veneers.
In an interview with the Daily Star, the Californian said, "I've been doing this since I was 17 – and I'm not done yet. I'm an ongoing work of art. When I look at myself in the mirror, I'm very happy. Am I perfect? No, absolutely not.
"I'm a person like anyone else and I strive for a certain level of beauty, I let Britney Spears [be my] inspiration, and that will never change, because my admiration for her has only grown over the last two decades," Ray said.
The super-fan, who runs a medical marijuana company in LA, has been through a lot for his passion: two rhinoplasty operations, cheek implants, a lip augmentation, and an eyelid lift amongst others procedures.
"I understand that people don't get it. People may call me weird or crazy, but I think if I'm so open about it, the stigma will go away," Ray hopes.
For those wondering, the super-fan doesn't think he'll ever be Britney Spears' identical twin, as he's aware that's not physically possible.
On the other hand, Bryan Ray is very sure of one thing: "I'll always be a big Britney Spears fan. She was a big part of my life, in fact, more than half of my life."
