Hairy

from lemondrop:
A whopping 96% of the body of the world's furriest man is covered with hair. But it won't be for long -- Yu Zhenghuan, who's something of a celebrity in his native China, is having excess hair removed and getting plastic surgery because a director didn't give him the part of a talking monkey in a film.

32-year-old Yu, who suffers from a medical condition known as hirstutism, will undergo around four or five treatments to remove some of the hair. Then, he plans to have plastic surgery to make himself "look more like a pretty monkey, and let the director regret his decision." Yikes. After getting his pelt removed he plans on having surgery to enlarge his eyes, and make his nose and lips smaller. That...sort of...sounds like a pretty monkey...we guess.

Yu's big break came at the age of seven when he was transformed into a child star by the movie Monkey Boy's Treasure Safari. Maybe after this he will be able to take roles as an actual human, good for him.
