After being bullied as a teen for being “different”, Luis Padron, 25, from Buenos Aires, Argentina, became determined he wanted to become closer to his favorite fantasy world, by turning himself into a real life elf.

He started bleaching his hair and skin, spent over $35,000 on cosmetic surgery and now wants to change his eye color and ear form to be more pointed just like that of an elf.

Luis considers himself as a “trans-species” and won’t stop until he looks exactly like his favorite fantasy character.
