Bullied as a teen, Argentine man spends tens of thousands to look like an 'elf
May 04, 2017
On Wednesday’s “Pure Opelka” host Mike Opelka welcomed regular guest Angie Austin to discuss some of the strange stories of the week.
Austin shared the very bizarre tale of Luis Padron, a 25-year-old man from Buenos Aires, Argentina who has spent over $30,000 to remake himself as an elf.
According to a report on the Daily Mail, Padron was bullied as a young boy and decided the appropriate action was to use a combination of plastic surgery, body hair removal and skin bleaching to become "transpecies" and live his life in a fantasy world.
Padron told the media, "I want to be an elf, an angel and a fantasy being, my aim is to look inhuman, ethereal, graceful and delicate."
To see more from Mike, visit his channel on TheBlaze and listen live to “Pure Opelka” weekdays 12-3 p.m. ET, 7–10 p.m. ET & Saturdays 6–9 a.m. ET, only on TheBlaze Radio Network.
