10. Lisa Connell- A $60,000 Demi Moore
When Lisa Connell received the terrible news that she was diagnosed with terminal cancer, the London-based woman created a bucket list that included multiple surgeries to look like actress Demi Moore.
She told the press, “People think I’m crazy for doing this, but I know it will make my last months or years happier. When I was young I used to watch Demi Moore in films like Ghost and I longed to look like her.”
Social media picked up on Connell’s story and soon Moore was aware of her wanna-be doppelganger’s plans. Moore took to Twitter to deliver a message to Connell, writing, “Wish I could contact this woman Lisa Connell who wants to have surgery to look like me and encourage her to not to! She is a beautiful girl!”
Well, Connell got the message and ignored it because she ended up getting breast implants, an eyebrow lift, liposuction, and teeth and skin alterations. The transformation set her back over $60,000 and even though it was what she wanted to do with her body, she received an onslaught of backlash. She responded by saying, “I want to die beautiful, so this is my way of taking back control of my body.”
