A man dubbed the Russian Popeye has defied medical advice so he can look more like an 'alien'.
The Russian Popeye wants to look like an alien
Former soldier Kirill Tereshin has been likened to the cartoon character as he injects petroleum jelly into his arms to give himself gigantic 'muscles'.
The Russian has been forced to undergo a number of surgeries due to issues with the 'dead muscles' in his arms. Despite dire warnings from doctors, Tereshin keeps having cosmetic treatment as he wants to look more like an alien.
He explained to his TikTok followers: "I want to make an alien face.
"I have believed in aliens since I saw UFOs as a teenager. I know they exist and that they are the most powerful race in the entire world.
"I feel like I'm going to them."
Tereshin added: "I'm an ideally handsome male.
"All stands out clearly - lips, chin, cheekbones, forehead, nose is even."
