A controversial social media influencer who spent £250,000 to look like Barbie has now revealed he's 'de-transitioned' from Barbie and switched to wanting to look like her beau Ken.

Now 'living as Ken', Oli London has shocked fans with his new image of Ken, after wanting to transform to look like Barbie in 2022 as a gender fluid trans woman, and just a few years after he'd revealed he'd spent over £75,000 on surgeries to look like K-pop star, Jimin from South Korean boyband BTS.

Claiming he regrets his surgeries, the influencer has had around 32 different cosmetic procedures which has left him 'paralysed with facial muscle movements' and a painful lockjaw, the first being a nose job aged 23 in Korea.

Oli has undergone many invasive facial surgeries such as six nose jobs, jaw surgery, and cat-eye surgery to give a more feminine eye look and claims they have been fuelled by his own body issues from being bullied from a young age as well as social media.

Now de-transitioning back to male, Oli is happy with his Ken look with a smaller nose and eyes.

"I have six titanium brackets with 24 screws inside my chin and cheeks holding the bones together so sometimes I get jaw lock when I yawn and it's really painful," he explained.

Despite forking out a quarter of a million pounds to look like his idol Barbie, Oli feels better about himself as he felt as if 'something was missing' as a woman and life wasn't as glamorous as he'd thought, even though he would be getting a lot of love and praise for his look.

He added: "When I transitioned to being a woman I had all of this praise and love but something was missing inside. I thought all my personal struggles were because of my gender identity, but then I realised it wasn't. I had some therapy and went to church. Doing all this surgery doesn't make me happy."

Oli and best friend Aliia Roza, who also has spent millions on surgeries to obtain and live like a Barbie, now enjoy being the plastic duo of Barbie and Ken together, and the pair even have custom outfits they wore to the Cannes Film Festival and other red carpet events.

Still continuing to bleach his hair blonde, dressing like Ken and having regular facials to upkeep the 'Ken glow' he now feels at peace with himself, even though he has lost friends by de-transitioning due to them feeling like he was being 'transphobic'.
