The 'Black Alien', who has spent the last few years modifying his body in extreme ways, has explained why he made the major changes to fans.
Anthony Loffredo is known as the 'Black Alien' online, going viral for the extreme modifications he makes to his body.
He has previously said that he was 'Happy, but not in the right body', despite revealing to Channel 4 that he had a 'very sexy body'.

The Frenchman has, so far, amputated his nose, ears, top lip and two fingers, as well as had his eyeballs tattooed.
If that's not enough, his skin is almost completely covered in tattoos and his tongue is split like a snake.
Since his transformation, Loffredo has had trouble with everyday life, as revealed in Channel 4 documentary I Transformed Myself Into An Alien.
Loffredo said that Uber drivers do not stop when they see him in person, he doesn't get allowed into restaurants, and that he struggles to find a job due to his appearance.
Speaking on Podcast Club 113 in 2022, he shared: "It’s an everyday struggle, because every day you find new people who don’t understand, who want to judge. That’s life; not everyone understands everything, just like I don’t understand many things about many people,"
The 'Black alien' also revealed that he didn't class amputations of his nose, ears or fingers as 'a mutilation', but instead a 'a personal evolution and an aesthetic improvement.'
In an interview with the Spanish newspaper El Periódico in 2021, Loffredo explained to fans that the transformations he had made thus far made him feel better about himself and his body.
Speaking to Arthur Bruel in I Transformed Myself Into An Alien, he explained: "I'm not interested in people, I'm alone since I was little."
He agreed when Bruel said that he was always an alien, even when he physically wasn't one.
Loffredo also positively agreed when the cameraman said there was a word for it: Alienation.
However, in recent weeks, the 'Black Alien's' Instagram account has been deleted, and he has made an announcement to end his transformation project.
Viewers were deeply concerned, worrying that he was going through a tough time mentally.
But Loffredo confirmed that the reason he was leaving the 'Black alien' behind was because he was beginning a romantic relationship.
Posting a video on his YouTube channel in December 2023, he said: “I want to introduce you to my girlfriend, with whom I have started a new stage of my life.”
"This announcement marks the start of a happy chapter, and the end of an important process."
In spite of this announcement though, there have been videos posted on his account on X of him getting further work done among photos of Loffredo with his new girlfriend.
What you believe is up to you, but it looks like our alien friend is finally happy.
