A Canadian man who is a huge Ken doll admirer has already spent over $23K (£18.5K) in the hopes of transforming himself into a human version of the doll.
Thirty-year-old Jonathan Dylan, from Vancouver, Canada, also spends $1.2K (£1k) every month to maintain his looks. This includes regular Botox treatments as well as fillers for his cheeks, lips, and jawline, including spray tans, teeth whitening treatments, and waxing.
The social media influencer maintains his sun-kissed glow through weekly spray tans and also wears colored contact lenses. His hair also receives monthly highlighting treatments to get him as close as possible to look like Ken.
Jonathan started his “project” in 2015 and has shown no signs of slowing down.
He said: “When I was five years old, I got my first Ken doll, he had blonde highlights, blue eyes, and dark eyelashes.
“He was tanned with good bone structure and I knew that was what perfection meant to me.
“As I got into my teenage years, I started wearing fake tan and makeup as I wanted to look glamorous all the time.
“My family wasn’t too impressed at the beginning as my look began to spiral out of control, I will admit I went a bit over the top with fillers from 2014 to 2017.
“But now I am older and tasteful – I still regularly get fillers to enhance my lips but just the right amount. I usually get a top up every three months with Botox too.
“Ken doesn’t have wrinkles so why should I? I get Botox in my forehead and around my eyes.
“I find it makes you look so much fresher; I love how flawless my skin looks after a Botox boost.
“I am a loud person so If I have something to say, I will say it, I don’t need to tell someone I am angry with facial expressions.
“I looked hideous a few years ago as I took lip fillers to the extreme but now, I know what looks good and most importantly, like Ken.
“I have enhanced my jawline and chin by adding filler to make it appear much sharper and pointier.
“I also have fillers in my cheekbones to make them more defined and stand out.
“I have known from a young age that I want to look like Ken so I will do whatever it takes to achieve this look.
“I work out daily by lifting weights to get a perfect body like Ken and the past six months I have become obsessed with spin, an exercise class on a bicycle.
“I go every other day it is like a therapy session for me to release all my tension.
“I also attend body sculpting sessions – a procedure that destroys fat cells without surgery which helps with my abs.”
With over 54,000 followers on Instagram, Jonathan is a bona fide social media influencer.
He adds: “I am always getting stopped by people in the street or at the airport as I am known for being a real-life Ken.
“I am so happy that I am finally where I want to be, I feel like I have made it.
“I am in the process of launching my very own lip pump as I am best known for my lips it makes sense, there is no better person to make this product.”
