A man who is addicted to lip fillers says he has spent thousands in an attempt to look like his idol Marilyn Monroe.

Thirty-two Cyril Roux, from Toulon, France, has shared before and after photos of his face following his procedures, which see him having 1ml of filler injected into each lip regularly, meaning they're now stretched and distorted to almost unbelievable proportions.

The waiter - who says he is nicknamed the 'Plastic Guy', for obvious reasons - says his love of cosmetic procedures stemmed from a desire to look younger and more like iconic movie star Monroe. And, while it might not be the sort of image that everyone would be into, he's happy with his new look and new lips.

He told Media Drum: "I was first attracted to cosmetic procedures as I wanted to look younger and more like my inspiration, Marilyn Monroe.

"At the age of 26 I had my first procedure, a Botox session, which was a great experience and just made me want more.

"I've now had over 20 procedures, including 16 lip fillers over the last year-and-a-half, which I get topped up with 1ml of filler in each lip every two months.

"I've now spent over £3,500 ($4,900) on my lips alone and over £5,000 ($7,000) on cosmetic procedures in total."

And despite spending an eye-watering amount on his treatments, Cyril is not happy and already has more procedures planned in the near future.

"I'm hoping to have a nose job and get chin and cheek implants in the future," he said.

"My next procedure will be a nose job in Tunisia, I'm just waiting because I still don't have the £2,000 ($2,800) to pay for it at the moment.

"I think I could say that I'm an addict to injections.

"I often get haters, people that I don't even know sometimes laugh at me and say I look weird when they look at me.

"But I'm proud to be a plastic guy and will continue to do it. As for people looking at me and judging me, I don't care.

"At the end of the day, beauty is very important - not for others but yourself."
