People with the most shocking physical anomalies (Photos and Videos). Life derailed: a series of shocking photographs depicting portraits of women whose faces and bodies were disfigured by acid How people disfigure their bodies

1. Hilton Sisters
Violet and Daisy Hilton

These sisters are Siamese twins. They shared a common circulatory and nervous system. This meant that they experienced one pain between them. The sisters were sold into slavery by their midwife mother, who greedily took advantage of their misfortune. They sang, danced, played various instruments in the circus. Their slave owner took all their income and forbade them to communicate with anyone. In the end, one lawyer helped them escape the shackles, and even bought back all the money they earned. The sisters continued to work in show business and at the peak of their careers earned $5,000.

2. Wild men from Borneo

These "wild men" were actually doppelgängers, mentally retarded dwarfs who had no hope of employment other than to entertain circus audiences. At the age of 26, they were purchased from their natural mother by a man named Lyman Warner. They were taught acrobatics and dances, with which they performed in front of the audience. Enslaved by the Warner family, they continued to bring wealth to the family for fifty years.

3. Woman doll
Lucia Zarate

Lucia was born in Mexico in 1864. She weighed 8 ounces and was 7 inches tall. She weighed less than a kitten. To this day she is the smallest woman on Earth. Arriving in the United States at the age of 12, she was the highest paid midget at the time ($20 per hour). Unfortunately, she died at the age of 26 on a train.

4. Texas Giant
Jack Earl

Al had a condition called acromegaly. Jack Earle performed in the circus with famous circus performers. He also starred in movies like Jack and the Bean Tree (guess who?). Despite the fact that it was difficult for freaks to find work, Earl showed everyone that you can use your extraordinary appearance in any profession. He was a salesman for a wine company and later became their PR representative. He also sculpted, painted, and wrote poetry (his book Long Shadows was published in 1950).

5. "The Hunchback"

Quasimodo is not a fictional character. The eponymous Hunchback of Notre Dame in Victor Hugo's story actually lived in Notre Dame. One British researcher found fragments of a memoir that told of a “hunchbacked stone cutter” who worked at Hugo Cathedral. It is not difficult to understand why he was given the nickname "Le Bossu" - the Hunchback.

6. The woman with the face of a mule
Grace McDaniels

This woman was born with a facial deformity that made many people uncomfortable looking at her. She was declared "the ugliest woman in the world." This is also a kind of achievement. Despite her appearance, she was a very good person. Grace got married and had a child who did not inherit her facial features, but he became a drunkard and a social outcast.

7. Jo-Jo, the dog-faced boy
Fedor Evtishchev

The boy, like his father, suffered from a rare disease - hypertrichosis. His father lived alone in the forest, away from people, so as not to listen to their ridicule. To earn money, he performed in the circus. After Fedor was born, they began touring together. Soon his father died, and the boy performed for a long time in shows organized by the famous American entrepreneur F. T. Barnum. Like a trained dog, Fedor could bark and growl on command, but he was not a dog. He could speak English, Russian and German.

8. Julia Pastrana

This girl suffered from hypertrichosis - her face and body were covered with black, coarse hair. Outwardly, Julia resembled a gorilla. Her height was a little more than 137 cm. Despite her deformity, Pastrana danced well and was very kind and welcoming. She had a husband, Theodore, who bought her and taught her everything she surprised people with in the circus. Soon, Julia gave birth to a child who lived only 3 days, and she herself died 5 days after this event. Theodore mummified the corpses of his wife and child, and later their bodies were displayed in various Panic Rooms.

9. Schlitzi
Simon Metz

Schlitzi was very popular in the circus. He was a microcephalic - a man with a small skull and a small brain. His child's head sat incongruously on the shoulders of an adult. His brain was about 3 years old, yet he sang and danced like a 10 year old. Already physically an adult, he starred in the film “Freaks” (1932), then “Island of Lost Souls” (1933). After his death, Schlitzi became a true legend.

10. Caterpillar Man
Prince Randian

Prince Randian was an amazing man - he wore sleeveless clothes and no socks. He had only a head and a torso and looked like he was paralyzed, although he could light a cigarette with just his mouth. He had a wife, with whose help he learned to move. He became famous in 1932 after a cameo role in Tod Browning's film Freaks. Prince Randian lived to be 63 years old.

Unfortunately, not all people on the planet have an attractive appearance. Some suffer from incurable diseases, some have been victims of accidents or other incidents. But there are also those who deliberately disfigure themselves, guided by the desire to be different from everyone else. They pay huge amounts of money to mutilate their body and become the happiest. In our review, there are 7 unusual people who were included in the ranking of the ugliest people on the planet.

Zombie fight

Rick Genest or zombie fight

Rick Genest gained popularity and the title of one of the most terrible people on the planet thanks to his extraordinary appearance, or, more precisely, the tattoos that cover his face. First of all, the attention is drawn to the fake teeth like those of a skeleton (in their proper place), dark circles under the eyes and a black nose with a ring, which makes the guy look even more menacing. Rick probably often hears the frightened screams of passers-by.

Woman piercing

Elaine Davidson - female piercer

The well-deserved leadership in this category belongs to the Brazilian Elaine Davidson. She is the woman with the largest number of piercings: on her body there are more than 9 thousand punctures, the total weight of which is more than three kilograms. Now Edain lives in Edinburgh with her husband, who, by the way, does not have a single puncture on his body. The couple are happy together.

Lizard Man

Eric Sprague - Lizard Man

Eric Sprague? the first man in the world to make his tongue like a snake's by cutting the tip in half and day after day stretching the halves apart so that they would not grow together. Almost his entire body is decorated with green tattoos that imitate the scales of a lizard. And sharpened teeth complete the picture.

Vampire woman

Marie José Cristerna or the Vampire Woman

Mexican Marie Jose Cristerna is very popular in her homeland. Thanks to her unconventional appearance, she received the nickname "Vampire Woman". The fact is that Marie grew fangs on all her teeth, then sewed implants simulating horns into her forehead, and covered most of her body, including her face, with tattoos and piercings. In addition, a woman loves to wear colored lenses, which makes her appearance even more expressive.

Woman illustration

Julia Gnuse was nicknamed the female illustration

But there are those who are on the list of the ugliest people on the planet not of their own free will. For example, Julia Gnuse is recognized as the woman with the most tattoos in the world. And all because since childhood he has suffered from an incurable skin disease - porphyria. This is what forced Julia to cover her body with tattoos for 10 years. Some compare the girl to painted dishes or a matryoshka doll.

The most terrible woman on the planet

Lizzie Velasquez officially recognized as the ugliest woman on the planet

Lizzie Velazquez, also against her will, was recognized by the media as the scariest girl in the world. This is due to a rare combination of two diseases - Marfan syndrome and lipodystrophy, due to which her body has lost the ability to form subcutaneous fat. For the same reason, he cannot see in one eye. But, nevertheless, this did not stop her from leading a more or less normal life. Today, Lizzie is a motivational speaker. She travels around the world giving seminars and writing inspiring books.

Man Without a Face

Doctors literally removed Jason Shechterly's face

There is another person who, thanks to the media, received the title of the ugliest man on the planet. Retired police officer Jason Shechterly, while on duty, was involved in a terrible accident: a taxi crashed into a police officer's car. The blow was so powerful that it immediately caught fire. The policeman was not pulled out immediately. The result is fourth degree burns. Doctors, in order to save Jason's life, had to literally remove his face. It was this incident that gave rise to the Weekly World News newspaper to include the policeman in the list of the ugliest people on the planet.

They were born under a lucky star. Whether it was fate that way, or whether they walked long and hard towards their world fame, the fact remains: they are rich and famous, and also... ugly as hell! Photos of the scariest, ugliest celebrities.

1. Michael Jackson

Who did you expect to see on our list at number one? Michael Jackson could have become a successful performer and earned worldwide fame as a black singer, but he himself decided to destroy both his face and his reputation. He began to look like an albino, acquiring facial features that were completely unusual for him, for example, a nose shape that was absolutely not typical for representatives of the black race. He showed us all what can happen when a person is too critical of his appearance, given to him by Mother Nature... As a result, Michael Jackson turned out to be something between an alien and an albino.

2. Marilyn Manson

Gee... What the hell has happened to this guy? An unnaturally whitened face, different colored eyes (one is his own, the other is covered with a soft blue lens) and blood-red lips make him look like a ghost...

Marilyn Manson is simply ugly, there’s no other way to put it, and the strangest thing is that he chose this appearance himself. Moreover, he not only disfigures himself, but also arouses disgust in everyone who looks at him.

3. Jocelyn Wildenstein

This is just some kind of nightmare! This is what happens when you are obsessed with plastic surgery. A wealthy socialite from Switzerland, Jocelyn became famous precisely because of her ugliness. For her extreme appearance, journalists nicknamed her “the Bride of Wildenstein” (by analogy with the Bride of Frankenstein), and this nickname stuck to her like a burr.

According to rumors, Wildenstein has already spent about $4,000,000 on plastic surgery in the United States, with all expenses paid by her husband, world-famous art billionaire Alec Wildenstein.

4. Michael Berryman

No, don’t think about it, this is not makeup for a new role. This actor, originally from Los Angeles, suffers from a hereditary disease - hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. This rare disease, which affects the sweat glands, hair, nails and teeth, has determined his creative role - Michael appears mainly in horror films and science fiction projects. He has a rich filmography, which includes such films as “Oh, this is science”, “Alf”, “Invitation to Hell”. He also starred in such legendary films as The Devil's Rejects and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Berryman typically plays mutants, monsters, monstrous villains and other terrifying characters. The actor starred in one of the episodes of the series “Star Trek: The Next Generation” and “The X-Files.”

5. DJ Qualls

And again we have before us a man who, against his will, acquired a truly strange appearance. Qualls suffered from the cancer lymphogranulomatosis, or Hodgkin's disease, which he contracted at the age of 14. He was able to overcome the fatal illness: after two years of numerous surgical operations (including removal of the spleen), chemotherapy and radiation therapy, Qualls entered a stage of remission, during which he acquired such a peculiar appearance: the young man is extremely thin. In 1997, he entered the University of Nashville. And then (oh, happy fate!), at one of the performances of the city theater, the famous photographer David LaChapelle noticed him and began to invite him to his photo shoots. Qualls began modeling for Prada and Calvin Klein. Afterwards he was able to become famous as an actor, starring in the film “Road Adventure”.

6. Marty Feldman

Here's another tragic incident. Marty Feldman (1934-1982) was an English writer, comedian and BAFTA award winner, known around the world for his bulging eyes, the result of an overactive thyroid gland. He wrote scripts for 25 films and TV series, and his acting fame came after playing the main role in the TV series “Marty.” He starred in the films “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”, “Young Frankenstein”, “Silent Movie”, and also took part as a guest in one of the episodes of the legendary Muppet Show - “A Thousand and One Nights”.

7. Clint Howard

This time we are not talking about any illness - this artist himself simply does not have a very pleasant appearance. But this is the reason for his incredible popularity. The actor, born in 1959, has starred in films such as Backdraft, Apollo 13, Knockdown, and the TV series Star Trek and Arrested Development. In 1998, Howard was awarded an MTV Award. He was married twice, and took this step only to prove to everyone that in his personal life, appearance does not matter at all.

8. Shane MacGowan

This Irish musician, a member of the group “The Pogues”, became famous throughout the world as a talented author and performer of his own songs. He is recognized as one of the most important and poetic Irish composers and musicians of the last 30 years. Great find for our top! He actually looks terrible, just terrible...

9. Lyle Lovett

Surely Lyle Lovett has incriminating materials on half of humanity. Otherwise, how was he allowed to leave hell and get to our sinful earth? And the fact that Julia Roberts married this monster makes us think that she, too, was a victim of his blackmail... or fell under some kind of charm that we do not understand.

Find at least something attractive in this person, and if you find it, share it with us - we’ll laugh together.

10. Kelis

Holy God... Yes, Kelis is not the kind of girl that all the boys run after in the yard. When you look at her, doubt creeps in: is she a woman or an alien from outer space? It sounds a little strange, but if you look at her photo, you will notice that her mouth is constantly open, as if she is preparing to swallow you.

Brr, unpleasant, of course... And every time, looking at her next photo, you involuntarily begin to look for the Adam's apple.

11. Iggy Pop

A rock singer, composer and actor, he is also called the godfather (sometimes “grandfather”) of punk rock. Iggy Pop was the lead singer of The Stooges, one of the leading grunge and rock bands in the late '60s and early '70s that influenced the emerging genres of heavy metal and punk rock. The Stooges' live concerts were infamous for their performances, which included Iggy jumping off the stage into the crowd, injuring himself with a broken bottle, smearing peanut butter on his naked torso, and insulting the audience. So, not being naturally handsome, he managed to disfigure himself even more at his own whim.

12. Steven Tyler

This guy looks like a real zombie. He is a famous and very talented singer, a cool guy, the father of one of the coolest girls in Hollywood, he had so many women and money that anyone would envy... and he is also scary as a nightmare...

13. Courtney Love

Drugs have never made anyone more attractive. And this woman became an example of what an ugly and sexless creature a rather nice girl can turn into as a result of drug use.

14. Donatella Versace

Oh, how quickly the years fly by... Yes, she is talented, famous and rich, but, my God, how ugly she is!

15. Amy Winehouse

Another victim of drugs is an English singer and songwriter, a performer in the genres of soul, jazz and R&B. She had many tattoos of naked women on her body. When asked about this, she admitted that in this regard she likes girls more.

“In essence, I am more a man than a woman, although I am not a lesbian.” Amy always said that when she left the stage, she would open a beauty salon and live out her life, making people beautiful and happy... Unfortunately, she was not able to accomplish this; she passed away at the age of 27.

16. Ronaldinho

One of the best football players of our time, Ronaldinho can easily be called the funniest, most honest, most likable, but at the same time... and the ugliest athlete in the world. This famous Brazilian does not particularly try to embellish his image; his fees are truly cosmic in size.

17. Kelly Osbourne

Who doesn’t know Kelly, the daughter of the legendary Ozzy Osbourne? Americans are greatly fascinated by her British accent, and everyone recognizes that she has a strong personality, but, frankly speaking, Kelly Osbourne's appearance leaves much to be desired. And it’s not at all that the girl is fat, no, recently she managed to lose a lot of weight, then gain a little again, then lose it again... Come on, let’s be honest, weight fluctuations have nothing to do with it! It can't radically change a person unless they're naturally attractive, which is why Kelly made our list!

18. Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling owes her career entirely to her father, media mogul Aaron Spelling, otherwise, with her appearance, the girl would never have managed to make it onto the screen. For some reason, you always want to hope that yes, daddy pushed through, but then she will prove with her talent that it was not in vain that she was given such strong protection. But... all hopes are in vain, and (thanks to dad Aaron!) every time I see Tori on TV, for some reason I want to change the channel.

It's terrible, but it doesn't give you the opportunity to see, what if she actually became a real star? Alas, she is not getting prettier over the years...

19. Rosie O'Donnell

Rosie O'Donnell is a real badass, and it's not a bad thing that we got her on our list. It is not beautiful, but it is simple and understandable to everyone.

20. Rachel Dratch

Don't get us wrong: we love Rachel. Her sketches are very witty and she is a truly great actress. But, unfortunately, her ugly appearance gives her every right to take the last place on our list.

Octopus Man

9. Manar Maged
Two-headed girl

8. Minh Anh
Boy is a fish

Minh Anh is a Vietnamese orphan who was born with an unknown skin condition that causes his skin to peel off massively and form scales. His condition is believed to have been caused by a special chemical (Agent Orange) that was used by the US military during the Vietnam War.
This condition is associated with constant overheating of the body, so it becomes extremely uncomfortable for a person to “wear” the skin without regular showering. The same orphans from the orphanage nicknamed him “fish”.

Previously, Minh was subjected to violence by staff and other children living in the orphanage. They tied him to the bed and did not allow the boy to go to the shower to “remove” his old skin.
When Minh was just a child, he met Brenda, a 79-year-old resident of the UK. Now she travels to Vietnam every year to see him. Over the years, the woman visited the boy and became his good friend.
Brenda helped improve the life of the boy in the orphanage in many ways. She convinced the staff not to restrain him when he had another seizure, and she also found him a friend to take the baby swimming every week, which is now Min's favorite pastime.

7. Joseph Merrick
Elephant Man

Probably the most famous person on this list is Joseph Merrick the Elephant Man. Born in 1836, the Englishman became a London celebrity and later gained fame throughout the world.
He was born with Proteus syndrome, a condition that causes unusual tissue growth on the skin that causes the bones to become deformed and thicken.
Joseph's mother died when the boy was 11 years old, and his father abandoned him. So he left home as a teenager, then worked in Leicester and a little later became a showman. He was extremely popular and at the peak of his popularity he received his stage name: “the elephant man.”

Due to the size of his head, Joseph had to sleep sitting up. His head was so heavy that the man could not sleep lying down. One night in 1890, he tried to escape into the realm of Morpheus "like all normal people," and dislocated his neck in the process.
The next morning he was found dead.

6. Didier Montalvo
Boy - turtle

Didier was born in the Colombian countryside with a congenital melanocyte virus, which causes the birthmark to grow throughout the body at an incredibly fast pace.
As a result of this disease, the birthmark became so huge that it covered Didier's entire back. Didier's peers nicknamed him "the turtle boy" because his incredibly large "mole" was very similar to a turtle's shell.
Apparently, Didier was conceived during an eclipse, because the locals considered him "the work of the devil." For this reason, he was not allowed to communicate with other children and was banned from attending the local school.
When British surgeon Neil Bulstrode learned about Didier's problem, he went to Bogota, where he operated on the child and completely removed the unfortunate "birthmark".

When the operation was performed, the boy was barely six years old. It was a real success, because the specialists were able to remove the entire birthmark. After the operation, Didier was allowed to go to school and began to live a normal and happy life.

5. Mandy Sellars

Mandy Sellars from Lancashire, UK, was diagnosed with Proteus syndrome as Joseph Merick. This resulted in Mandy's legs becoming incredibly huge, with a total weight of 95 kg and a diameter of 1 meter.
Her feet are so big that she orders specially equipped shoes for herself, which cost about $4,000. She also has a personalized car that she can drive without using her legs.

2. Dede Koswara
Man is a tree

Dede Koswara is an Indonesian man who has suffered from a fungal infection called epidermodysplasia verruciformis for most of his life. It causes the growth of large, tough fungal growths that look much like tree bark.
Over time, Dede became extremely uncomfortable using his limbs, they became so large and heavy. The fungus grows throughout the body, but manifests itself mainly on the arms and legs.

In 2008, Dede underwent a course of treatment in the United States, as a result of which 8 kg of warts were removed from his body. After this, skin grafts were done on the face and hands. Unfortunately, the operation failed to stop the growth of the fungus, so another surgical intervention was performed in 2011. There is no cure for Dede's disease.
