Twin brothers spend a fortune to become Brad Pitt lookalikes
The Schlepp brothers spent about 19,000 dollars to look like Brad Pitt. They hoped this new appearance would help them achieve their desired Hollywood career.
In recent years, there have been many cases where thieves impersonate celebrities to extort money. "Scamming as Brad Pitt" has recently become popular. The Frenchwoman Anne, caught in a difficult personal period, lost over 870,000 dollars, believing she was helping a non-existent actor in his fight against cancer. The fraudsters even went so far as to create fake medical documentation and draw other people into their deception. It's worth noting in this context that, although not to extort money, some people genuinely wanted to look like the actor at one time.
The twins Mike and Matt Schlepp wanted to look like Brad Pitt
Twin brothers Mike and Matt Schlepp decided many years ago to invest significant sums of money to look like their idol. Their transformation was so remarkable that it caught the attention of MTV, which documented the entire process in its show "I Want a Famous Face." In one episode, the twins appeared as individuals who chose to resemble Brad Pitt. To fulfill their dream, they underwent a series of plastic surgeries.
Mike and Matt's transformation involved painful procedures such as cheek and chin implants, nose jobs, and new teeth and hairstyles. These surgeries required a long recovery period. Despite the challenges, the brothers did not regret their decisions and expressed satisfaction with the results.
The brothers were motivated to significantly increase their self-confidence—they knew Brad Pitt was considered one of the most handsome men in the world. According to The Sun, the twins spent about $19,000 on this endeavor. Importantly, MTV did not cover these costs; Mike and Matt financed the transformation themselves.
