“From a very young age, I have been passionate about mutations and transformations of the human body,” he told the publication.
“I had a click when I was a security guard. I realised that I was not living my life the way I wanted. I stopped everything at 24 and left for Australia.
“I love getting into the shoes of a scary character. I often settle down somewhere and play a role, especially at night in the dark streets… I explore the contrast between the role I play and myself.”
He also revealed on Instagram that he’s coming to the end of his body modifications, stating: “This project to which I gave everything, love, passion, determination, strength, has lost its meaning over the years.
“I did not expect it to have so much impact on the world, to be known I did not know how to manage it and my project has lost its meaning.
“One thing is for sure I no longer want to touch my body or take anything off or put anything on, I am putting an end to the modification of my body for the moment I no longer like this world.
“I’m going to finish my full black all over the body and finish for the moment like this. Goodbye body modification.”
People have always been curious about how Loffredo looked before his transformation – and now, we’ve gotten some answers…
Speaking in a Channel 4 documentary, Loffredo had previously shown off that he used to be a ‘very sexy guy’.
“But I’m the same person! Same heart!” he continued. “But it’s not my body, my real body.”
And now, Loffredo has shared a throwback teenage snap of himself before he began his transformation.
In the unrecognisable image, he looks like a clean-cut teen, sporting a huge grin!
Fans have been rather rude in the comments, with one writing: “His poor mother.”
Another adds: “It hurts to watch this transformation, I worry where your pain really is.”
However, others have shared a more positive view, with one writing: “You look way cooler now.”
Anthony’s caption reads: “13 years/35 years.
“A slave to the body of the free spirit. Free is the race of poets. To choose is to be free.
“Everyone is free, everyone has their convictions. The story continues.”
