Known as Brazil’s walking, talking, living doll, model Celso Santebanes has spent over £30,000 turning himself into a human version of Barbie’s boyfriend, Ken. The 20 year old has revealed he’s has four operations on his nose, chin and jaw, as well as silicone implants in his chest.
Following his operations, Celso quickly found himself in the limelight and even has his very own line of Celso Dolls. On Instagram, he posted a photo of himself and his doll, which read: ‘I went to the city to become a model. I never expected to have a toy myself. I dreamt of being a human puppet, but having one in my image was completely unexpected.’
Said to have grown up with a shelf-full of dolls, Celso claims he’s always been a doll enthusiast and started his transformation after winning a modelling contest at 16. You can see more photos of him via the gallery below.
