Are you unhappy with your appearance? Then take a look at these men. They are on the list of the ugliest men in the world. Of course, a personâs appearance does not reflect his inner world, but still, itâs scary to look at these people.
However, despite the external flaws, many of them continue to live, love and raise children. The article lists the top of the ugliest men in the world.
Elephant man
Joseph Merrick lived in Victorian England in the 1800s. He suffered from Recklinghausen's disease or type 1 neurofibromatosis, which is characterized by the presence of tumor-like drooping formations and large age spots. Also, his limbs and parts of the face became asymmetric.
Look at the photo of the ugliest man who has ever lived in our world. Because of the illness, the boy was constantly bullied and taunted, so at the age of 13 Joseph left his studies, and at 17 he left home and went to work at the âfreak circusâ. A man died at the age of 27 from asphyxiation. He simply laid his head on the pillow (before that he always slept sitting), because of which the head simply bent over a thin neck.
A man with a huge tumor on his face
The face of the Portuguese Jose Mestre literally âswallowedâ the tumor, which at one time reached 5 kilograms. For this, he entered the list of the most ugly men. Moreover, he lived with a tumor for 40 years. The thing is that Jose was born with a hemangioma, which uncontrollably grew to 14 years.
Due to the neoplasm, the left eye collapsed, and soon it âswallowedâ the entire surface of the face. The man underwent several operations and now his face looks like after burns. But he is still happy, because he managed to get rid of his external defect.
The hairiest man on earth
This is Jesus Acevez, nicknamed Chui - one of the members of the family, which is considered the most hairy on the planet due to congenital hypertrichosis. He entered the ranking of the most ugly men in the world. Previously, Jesus performed in the circus, where he received the nickname "Wolf Man".
In 2010, the man was awarded the title of âThe Hairiest Man in the Worldâ. At the moment, he is busy with the career of an actor and a TV presenter. He is married and has two girls, one of whom also has dense vegetation on his face and body. Both women and men from the large Jesus family suffer from this pathology.
The family lives in Loreta, where many residents insult and fear them. But soon on the TV screens will be released the documentary "Chews: The Wolfman", thanks to which, Jesus hopes, people will cease to be wary of him.
Uganda's ugliest man
Godfrey Baguma was the victim of an unknown and rare disease. The people around him always looked at him with hostility, considering him inferior. Despite this, he continued to study and work. He is married twice. The first wife walked from him, and the man soon found out about this and divorced.
Kate Namanda's second wife is 17 years younger than Godfrey, but this was not a problem. Today Godfrey has six children from his second marriage and two from his first. He works a lot to feed himself and his entire large family.
Octopus man
Rudy Santos or the octopus man also entered the ranking of the most ugly men. He is 69 years old and suffers from an extremely rare pathology - the craniopagus parasiticus (parasitic twin). Today is the oldest person living with this rare disease.
From the abdomen, Rudy grows another pair of arms, legs, and also a head with an ear and hair. Agree, the sight is not for the faint of heart. This all belongs to his twin brother, whom Rudy devoured in his motherâs womb. But why didn't he remove the parasite?
The thing is that the 1980s Santos was a national celebrity. He participated in a freak show, where he earned about 20 thousand pesos per day.
In 2008, doctors again suggested that he remove unnecessary parts of the body, but Santoz refused, citing the fact that he was used to his imperfection. Now the man is married and has a child.
Stone man
Harry Eastlak or the stone man, unfortunately, has already died. But still he is considered the most ugly man who lived on our planet. He suffered from a rare disease, which manifested itself in the transformation of connective tissue into bone. Surgeons have repeatedly tried to cure a man, but they did not succeed.
The ossifications appeared again. As a result, at the age of over 40, Harry died and bequeathed his skeleton to the Mutter Museum of Medical History, which is located in Philadelphia (USA).
Papa Smurf
Paul Karason received this nickname due to his unusual appearance. He had blue skin, so he entered the top of the ugliest men on the planet. This is not congenital, but acquired pathology due to improper self-medication.
He tried at home to fight dermatitis with colloidal silver. In 1999, the medicine was banned for sale, but Paul had already turned blue. It turns out that after taking silver inside, argyrosis may occur, manifested by irreversible skin pigmentation.
Due to an external lack, the man experienced many inconveniences. Everywhere they looked at him with genuine interest. Due to the eternal search for doctors, the man got on television, but no doctor was found who could restore his healthy skin color.
Tree man
Dede Cosvara also entered the list of the most ugly men. Born and lived in Indonesia. The main feature of his body was the presence of growths that resembled the roots of a tree. Scientists claimed that all this is due to a mutated papilloma virus.
Despite the fact that the virus is not contagious, Dede was left alone. His wife left him, taking the children. All because the man could not find a normal job. He showed his body in a circus. Doctors tried to cut off all growths, but they grew again. As a result, Dede could not stand loneliness and died at the age of 42 years.
A child in the body of an old man
Dean Andrews suffers from progeria - premature aging of the body. In his 20s, he looks 50. Unfortunately, doctors have not learned how to treat this pathology, so people with progeria do not live long.
Despite the fact that Dean is one of the ugliest men in the world, he did not despair. At the age of 20, he learned to drive a car, went to college, where he studies mechanics, made 4 tattoos for himself.
Tallest man in the world
Sultan Kosen is the tallest man on the planet. His height is 2 meters 47 centimeters. Sultan is a former basketball player, but due to his great growth, he began to have problems with his legs. Therefore, the game had to be abandoned.
Sultan has a pituitary tumor, due to which the young man continued to grow. Since 2010, he began to undergo radiotherapy, thanks to which he managed to stop the constant growth. Now a man moves only on crutches.
When tattoos "spoil" appearance
Lucky Diamond Rich is the person with the largest number of tattoos on his body, which is why many consider him the most ugly person in the world. His body covers several layers of tattoos.
So that Laki did not have any areas of the body that were not covered by a tattoo, he even applied a picture to the gums, skin under the nails and ears. The man did not stop there. Now tattoo artists are applying him a third layer of drawings, only red.
