You NEVER let us down.
You NEVER let us down.
Canadian actor Saint Von Colucci has died after a series of costly cosmetic surgeries to resemble BTS singer Jimin.
The 22-year-old actor had been set to play the musician in a forthcoming series for a US-based streaming platform.
Colucci’s representative confirmed to MailOnline that he had died after suffering a complication from one of the surgeries.
On Saturday night (22 April), the actor had surgery at a South Korean hospital to remove jaw implants that he had had inserted in November at considerable risk.
Colucci had developed an infection from the implants, and was intubated before dying.
“It’s very tragic and very unfortunate,” publicist Eric Blake told the outlet.
Among the other surgeries Colucci underwent were a face lift, a nose job, eye and eyebrow lifts, and a lip reduction.
The outlet reports that the cumulative cost of the 12 surgeries Colucci underwent was $220,000 (£176,000).
Was he only ever expecting to play one character, or did he think he'd alter his looks for any character as needed?A 22 year old Canadian actor, Saint Von Colucci has died after complications from 12 sets of surgeries in order to make him look more like Korean pop star, Jimin. Very sad.

Yes, I think this is vaguely fishy. He was drastically changing his appearance to look like someone, when the company making the series could just have... you know... picked someone who looked like the guy in the first place!Was he only ever expecting to play one character, or did he think he'd alter his looks for any character as needed?
People don't seem to realize that it is surgery and that you need time to allow your body to heal. Also, implants are not intrinsically safe.
Yes, reading the article made the poor lad sound very unhappy with his own appearance. I couldn't understand whether he'd actually already got the part of Jimin or whether he was just about to audition for the part, the article seemed to contradict itself there. But it did seem that he would have tried to change his appearance regardless - he felt too 'Western looking'. Which begs the question - why go to South Korea in the first place?I would agree. Makeup and prosthetics would have done a good enough job if for some reason they weren't able to get a Korean actor to play Jimin. It sounds as if he was struggling to fit in in general.
To be honest, I thought that was supposed to be a picture of Jimin, rather than Colucci, just through the typical filters that a lot of stars use for these things.It gets stranger. Now news report says Colucci may not even exist.

The photo is weird but I too assumed the photo was just filtered like crazy. The other photo in the Metro link I posted above looks like a real person.It gets stranger. Now news report says Colucci may not even exist.

How does she remain upright? And I'm not just talking about top heavy. Her proportions look like it would be very difficult just to stand.Kim Kardashian lookalike and OnlyFans model dies of cardiac arrest after plastic surgery
“A Kim Kardashian lookalike and OnlyFans star died of cardiac arrest following a plastic surgery procedure.
Christina Ashten Gourkani, 34 — also known as Ashten G on the internet — died in the hospital last Thursday, April 20, while in recovery from the surgery.”
An apparently genuine photo (There are other, similar ones):

In what dimension is that degree of mutilation even sane, much less attractive?

I'm glad someone is questioning this story. I have never heard of this "Canadian actor". I am fairly up to date with Canadian actors and have never heard nor seen this person.It gets stranger. Now news reports say Colucci may not even exist.

How do you mentally get to such an extreme place?
As always, by small increments.
Money makes all questions go away. The supposed $200,000 probably gave the surgeon the answers needed.How does any surgeon agree to do things like that to a person without questioning the patient's mental state?

Actually, this dollar amount also made me question the veracity of the story. Someone would have to be pretty well known in the acting/music business to have this amount available for plastic surgery.
By lucky(?) synchronicity I have just come across a professional attention seeker who does seem to be real and did have surgery to look more like Jimin.
Baffling Wikipedia entry here.

It didn't work as can be seen from photos on his website.

Is the "Canadian actor" thing meant to be some sort of viral campaign then maybe?
It's too bad these wannabes don't take on some of Jimin's other traits like his philanthropy as described on :By lucky(?) synchronicity I have just come across a professional attention seeker who does seem to be real and did have surgery to look more like Jimin.

FTFY That reads betterBizarrely, I virtually bumped into Oli London the other day, too.
He now does political commentary on Twitter and tries to pretend that he didn't go mad and try to turn himself into a wannabe Korean.
I was actually commenting on the "Canadian actor". Sorry I wasn't more specific.Not insignificant, but not a ridiculous sum for OnlyFans models with devoted whales cheerleading every extra upgrade.
Extremely large and non-naturalistic boob-jobs have been around since the 80s, and generous bottoms seem to have been popular for a good number of years now, but pair the combination of both with a borderline dangerous waistline and you really do have an alarmingly non-human body shape.
How do you mentally get to such an extreme place?

There are men who will pay women to have enormous boob jobs. Just don't ask me how I know...Where the F do these weirdos get such gigantic lumps of money?
I'd never be able to afford that in a million years.
Ironically his twitter feed is dedicated to extreme TERFism.A scary distorted quest of self-image.
From Wikipedia's page about Oli London:
"By October 2022, he had undergone 32 surgeries, including six nose jobs, an eye surgery, a facelift, a brow lift, a temple lift, a teeth procedure,[31] and skin whitening injections.[11][13] He stated that he planned to stop getting further surgeries, which he said he had "undergone in [his] obsessive quest chasing perfection".[31]"
But at least you're not bitter.Where the F do these weirdos get such gigantic lumps of money?

I could do with some huge gouts of money, so I can retire.But at least you're not bitter.
