A 19-year-old UK man has spent $26,000 (about N8.1m) on surgery to look like football star David Beckham.
Jack Johnson spent the money on procedures for his cheeks, chin, eyebrows, lips, teeth and tanning injections to try to obtain the Beckham look.

The man is unemployed and in debt, but estimates that it will cost him another £30,000 in procedures to help him reach his goal. Doctors have shot down some of his requests.
He said: “Obviously I know I don’t look like him, I’m not that stupid. But I have a long way to go to get to my goal of looking like him. Easily another 30 grand. It will cost money and operations to look like him.
“I’ve told them I really need it and it will change my life. I’ve had problems all my life with weight and I’m not doing it as a quick way to lose weight. I’ve tried every diet in the book, every exercise and I can’t do it, so I need the gastric band to help me. And when I have that done I have to still exercise and eat healthily.”
Making Johnson’s task all the harder is the fact that he is currently unemployed and the surgery he has already undertaken has left him £19,000 in debt.
However, he seems determined to realise his dream.
“I know I don’t look like David Beckham at the minute but I feel happy and amazing about myself. I’ve been in the best place ever this past year,” he said.
He later added: “I do love myself, I just want to look like David Beckham. Who doesn’t? No one can say he’s ugly or unattractive. Even people who aren’t a fan.”
Now he just needs some tattoos.
