This is kinda crazy. robot6.comicbookresources.com/2011/10/superman-fan-turns-to-surgery-to-become-man-of-steel-well-silicone/"Stories about people with body dysmorphic disorder who turn to excessive cosmetic surgeries to address perceived physical flaws kind of freak me out. I have to skip right past any articles that have to do with Jocelyn “the Cat Woman” Wildestein or those numerous “real-life Barbies.” Luckily, there’s rarely if ever any crossover into the world of comics — until now, that is. RealSelf.com has caught wind of Herbert Chavez, a 35-year-old Filipino who’s gone under the knife repeatedly since 1995 to look like his hero Superman. According to the website’s translation of this news report, the “pageant trainer” confirms he’s had chin augmentation to achieve the cleft, rhinoplasty for Christopher Reeve’s nose, silicone injections to his lips, and thigh implants. Looking at Chavez’s before and after photos, the RealSelf experts speculate he’s also had eye surgery, cheek augmentation and jaw augmentation. Training beauty-pageant contestants must pay very, very well."     |

Creepy. Though he ends up looking a lot like Routh rather than Reeve. ;D

Seriously fucked in the head.
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Jim Bowers is saving up for such an operation

The average height in the Philippines is SHORT. I went there and I was a giant at 5'11".
But it appears the female reporter is taller than him. ;D If that Routh statue is life size, then he appears to be about 5-foot-nothing....below average even for that country.

I just don't get people like this. Or any of those people who idolize someone so much (either real or fiction), that they undergo plastic surgery to look like them.
Though body dysmorphic disorder really plays a number on you. It's all about trying to improve self-esteem.

And you can be world famous, the biggest selling solo artist of all time with a huge fanbase and still have those issues. See Michael Jackson |

MJ's issues didn't really come to light until the mid 80s, and by then, he was already HUGE.
If MJ tried to hit it big when he looked like his 1990s-2000s self, it never would have happened.

Someone already beat me to the Michael Jackson in training joke. ;D Thats pretty friggin bizarre that anyone would go under the knife to try to look like Superman. I guess he is going for something closer to the Routh look than Reeve But the guy is never going to get there. He'd literally have to change his entire face in every conceivable way AND grow about a foot. Not gonna happen. He needs to get some serious professional help to sort out his mental problems. U can understand being a big fan but this is ridiculous. I bet the little shrimp is gutted he can't do anything about his height I thought it was Dean Cain for a second...oops.  |

He was messed up in the head, but I don't believe he was ever a molester. The parents of those two kids knew a sucker when they saw him and exploited MJ to the max.

If this guy  who lived down the road and people generally avoided him had kids in his bed for "pyjama parties" then I suppose there is a chance he would be innocent too? |

People love to see the birth and the fall of celebrities. For some time MJ was almost bullet proof due to his unbelievable sucess and charisma. The media tried the most they could to catch him. Is he fag? Is he crazy? Does he sleep in a coffin? In the 90s, they got him - He is a pedophilo. I dont believe in that shit. But it didnt help that MJ went crazy as well. How could it be any diferent given he made himself that way, bigger than life?  |

read an article where an investigator who was prone to believe that MJ was a pedophile was on the case, but after interviewing the accusers, he did a 180 and became an advocate for MJ's innocence.
