Influencer Gleiciano Azevedo Junior mocked for spending £13,000 on plastic surgery to look like Brazilian movie hunk Caua Reymond Marques

Social media heartthrob Gleiciano Azavedo Junior, 32, says he spent the cash on a series of procedures to make him look more like Brazilian cinema hunk Caua Reymond.

Although the former JuiJitsu champ is a huge star in TV and movies in his native Brazil he has not yet made the breakthrough to Hollywood. Now Gleiciano has revealed how he is working his way through a series of ops to become a mirror image of the 44-year-old star.

He says the plan started to form when he discussed having some minor procedures done with a cosmetic surgeon who asked whose looks he admired.

Gleiciano said: "I said Caua Reymond because I’m a huge fan of his. He’s a very handsome boy."

He continued: "I had facial implants, also in the jaw and chin. I changed my ears, and nose, and had some dental work done. There are still some surgeries to do, there are some things to finish. I am already about 80 per cent similar, but I want to be 100 per cent like Caua."

But despite the picture evidence that he still has some way to go before he hits his target, Gleiciano claims he is always being mistaken for the movie star.

He said: "Everywhere I go people call me Caua Reymond, they say that I am very similar, an identical face, and I am very happy with this affection."

Social media users, though, think he has simply wasted his cash.

One named as 'aqueline.patrocinio' said: "You wasted money it looks a long way from Caua."

Another called 'veralujesus' joked: "The whites of the eyes are identical."

And another named as 'anderson.gomes.5245' said: "Save us, man, if you want to lose your own identity to look like someone else, go pick coconuts on Amazonas Avenue."
