Songwriter Spends Life Savings on Surgeries to Look Like Justin Bieber
Professional problem child Justin Bieber has many tween girls willing to hand their bodies over to him at a moment's notice, but only one True Belieber was willing to transform his body for Bieber — and he's a 33-year-old man.
LA-based "songwriter" Toby Sheldon idolizes Bieber to such an extent, that he spent the past five years and nearly $100,000 to turn his face into a shrine for the androgynous Canadian.
Spurred by an acknowledged fear of aging, Sheldon says he's undergone multiple plastic surgeries, Aquamid injections, and hair transplants "to look like Justin."
His last time under the knife back in July, Sheldon had the sides of his mouth extended in a controversial procedure known as "smile surgery."
"It's Justin's smile that gives him his youthful look," Sheldon told the British tabloid Closer.
That particular elective set Sheldon back some $15,000.
"My smile surgery took more than a month to recover from," Sheldon recalled. "And, after my eyelid surgery, I couldn't open my eyes for a week."
Still, Sheldon believes his investment has paid off.
"My friends shower me with compliments," he says. "They even call me Toby Bieber."
