In a bold and extreme transformation, Anthony Loffredo—a 33-year-old from France known as the “world’s most modified man”—has pushed the limits of body modification in his quest to become a “black alien.” Among his most shocking alterations: removing two fingers to create a claw-like hand.
Loffredo’s commitment to his otherworldly vision doesn’t stop there. He’s split his tongue, removed his nose, and covered his body in intense tattoos and piercings—all part of his radical reinvention.
Despite undergoing a jaw-dropping series of body modifications—including the recent removal of his upper lip—Anthony Loffredo says he’s only 34% of the way through his ultimate transformation into a “black alien.”
For over ten years, Anthony has fearlessly pushed the boundaries of body art, often venturing into dangerous territory. One such procedure, tattooing his eyeballs, temporarily threatened his vision. Undeterred, he’s continued to reshape his body in radical ways—like surgically removing both ears and splitting his tongue—all in pursuit of an otherworldly, extraterrestrial appearance.
Anthony’s transformation journey has taken him across borders, as many of the extreme procedures he undergoes are illegal in his home country of France. Last year, he traveled to Spain to have his nose surgically removed—just one of many bold steps in his radical reinvention.
His alien-like appearance is further accentuated by dermal implants, which give his face a textured, almost sculpted look, with prominent lines etched along his cheekbones. Through his Instagram account, The Black Alien Project—which has amassed over 718,000 followers—Anthony documents each dramatic stage of his evolution, continually shocking and captivating fans with his relentless pursuit of an extraterrestrial identity.
In one of his most recent posts, Anthony revealed his latest modification: the creation of an “alien claw.” The image shows a stitched, bloodied hand, freshly transformed, alongside a haunting caption: “I develop my inner peace.”
Anthony’s radical transformation continues to spark fierce debate online, drawing a mix of admiration, curiosity, and criticism from his massive audience. While some see his journey as a fearless expression of individuality, others question the deeper implications of his extreme choices.
One follower commented, “This is both unsettling and fascinating. I could never take this path myself, but I respect your dedication to living your truth.”
Another praised his progress, writing, “Congratulations on pushing forward with your vision—it’s absolutely incredible.”
But not everyone is on board. Critics have also voiced concern, with one user remarking, “This feels like a slap in the face to people who’ve lost limbs unwillingly and fight to function normally. There’s a line between self-expression and insensitivity.”
Amid the swirling praise and criticism, Anthony remains unwavering in his commitment to his extraordinary transformation—a passion that’s burned within him since childhood.
In a candid interview with Midi Libre in 2017, he recalled a defining moment that set everything in motion: “While working as a security guard, I had a realization—I wasn’t living the life I truly wanted. At 24, I left everything behind and moved to Australia. That decision changed everything.”
Since then, his vision has only grown stronger. “Now, it’s instinctual. I’m always imagining the next step, constantly planning my evolution,” he added.
For Anthony, this isn’t just body modification—it’s a lifelong pursuit of becoming who he believes he was always meant to be.
