Real Life 'Superhero' Wants To Be More Plastic | HOOKED ON THE LOOK
FROM "Wonder Girl" on Venice Beach to real-life anime character, Leslie Luxx has transformed herself into the girl of her own dreams. Growing up as a massive anime fan, Leslie has always been envious of the female characters who are "very voluptuous and very beautiful". "Cosplay inspired me to get plastic surgery," Leslie said. "And I want to be big and curvy. If I could be the biggest, I would be the biggest." So far, the Instagram model has spent around $100,000 on procedures. "I feel very pressured to get plastic surgery because of the industry that I'm in," she added. "There's always a new look and somebody with more curves. I want to be like extremely pretty and I want to be extremely relevant." Leslie's obsession with getting bigger has raised concerns amongst her family and friends, especially her boyfriend, Michael. "I love Leslie's look because she changes every day almost. It's like having a new girl every day," he said. "I'm supportive of her fulfilling her goals. But on the other side, it's like a paradox."

00:00 I've spent a hundred thousand on plastic surgery to look like a real-life superhero.
00:05 The anime girls are always very voluptuous. I've always wanted to look like that.
00:09 People tend to judge me all the time. They start, like, labeling you more.
00:14 Like, they don't treat you as a human as much.
00:16 It's just been, like, three and a half years of non-stop surgeries.
00:20 Now I've got to go into another surgery room and more recovery. It's like...
00:25 Boring. Boring.
00:28 I'm bored. I am bored.
00:30 Yes, I believe I have body dysmorphia. I want bigger, bigger, bigger. All the time.
00:35 Hi, I'm Leslie Lux. I'm a model and a content creator from Venice Beach.
00:40 I've spent a hundred thousand on plastic surgery to look like a real-life superhero.
00:46 I've been into anime for many years. The anime girls are always very voluptuous
00:50 and very beautiful. I've always wanted to look like that.
00:53 This one is specifically for, like, a Christmas look. I love it.
00:59 It's so beautiful and fluffy. I feel so warm and I feel like Santa Claus white.
01:03 When I was younger, I was very insecure because growing up in Venice Beach and working out at
01:10 Muscle Beach, I just always felt like I needed to be like the fitness girls.
01:15 They were always perfect. Beautiful noses, beautiful faces, beautiful
01:18 physiques. But they always had the bigger b****.
01:21 I would just work out at the beach in a bikini every day and walk around.
01:25 And people started calling me Wonder Girl. Everywhere I went, I just started dressing
01:29 up like her as a cosplay. Wearing these costumes makes me feel like a superhero.
01:35 Before I do a cosplay, I watch them for a whole week. I watch movies of them, cartoons of them.
01:41 Everything I can to just learn more about them. I feel like I transform myself into that character.
01:46 Cosplay very much inspired me to get plastic surgery.
01:50 I have currently spent $100,000. There's been generous people along the way.
01:56 I've had a rhinoplasty. I've had my ribs broken. I've had a lipo BBL,
02:03 butt implants, two b**** augmentations. When I see models and girls getting plastic
02:09 surgery on Instagram, I feel like I have to keep getting it to stay beautiful and sexy and stay
02:14 at the top. I feel very pressured to get plastic surgery because of the industry that I'm in.
02:20 There's always a new look and somebody with more curves. I want to be extremely pretty and I want
02:28 to be extremely relevant. I also feel like I have a lot to give, not just a complete bimbo.
02:33 Although I do like being a bimbo. A lot of doctors don't see my vision.
02:37 I've had people tell me that I need to go to Dominican Republic or Mexico or somewhere
02:43 doctors are willing to risk. I don't feel that I am complete yet.
02:48 Side, I actually want three ribs removed. I want a bigger bum and much bigger b****.
02:53 Hi guys. This is my cosplay for today. I'm Mrs. Claus. Happy holidays.
03:00 People tend to judge me all the time when I go out. They either laugh at me or they either
03:05 really stare at me because they like me. When I first started Instagram, the way I
03:11 dealt with horrible comments and stuff like that, it was affecting me. I cried. It was hurtful.
03:18 But then I realized, I mean, who cares? I hate to say it, but some people can't even afford it.
03:24 So why are you even talking about me? They're just angry because they can't have you or be beautiful.
03:29 Keep up the good work. Thank you. That's really nice of you guys.
03:33 Are you a girl? I get asked that. I think that's part of the surgery.
03:40 People think I could be trans sometimes. I love that they hate me and I love that they love me.
03:46 It gives me views. My partner is J. Michael. We have ups and downs, obviously, because there's a
03:52 lot of surgeries in the past four years, like just nonstop. He's just supportive. I mean,
03:59 scared but supportive. Leslie and I met in 2020 during the lockdown.
04:04 It seemed like the whole world had to shut down for us to meet up. We've been together ever since.
04:09 He has to take care of me when I'm healing. We can't have an ********* during that,
04:15 so you know it's hard for him. He has to wait for that.
04:17 How do you feel? It's hurting.
04:20 We are 20 years apart from each other. In the beginning, I guess we got more looks because
04:26 I was younger. Now, I don't think people really care. They just see Michael as a musician,
04:32 kind of like rock star. Well, it's just been like three and a half years of nonstop surgeries.
04:37 It's like we haven't even gone out sailing yet because it's a neck surgery, neck surgery. I mean,
04:42 we want to go do some lifestyle things and enjoy this life. It's like now I've got to go into
04:47 another surgery room and more recovery. It's like... Boring. Boring. I'm bored. I am bored.
04:55 So bored. I want filler. I want to look plastic. More plastic, the better. I don't care.
05:03 I feel like if Michael wants to make this relationship work, he's going to have to
05:08 either support me and be happy. She's the exact dream girl that I've always wanted.
05:14 When I was in elementary, I was playing with the girls with the dolls. So now it's like she's my
05:20 live doll and I dress her up every day and it's like I'm living my dreams. I'm supportive of her
05:25 fulfilling her goals, but on the other side, it's like a paradox.
05:29 Yes, I believe I have body dysmorphia. I want bigger, bigger, bigger all the time.
05:35 I love Leslie's look because she changes every day almost. It's like having a new girl every day
05:41 because she goes through these cosplays and we're together doing the shoots and then I get to enjoy
05:50 that girl too. So she's just great. People see you and they start labeling you more.
05:57 They don't treat you as a human as much and I want to be big and curvy. If I could be the biggest,
06:03 I would be the biggest, but I don't know if it's possible. I think it's pretty, you know,
06:07 almost like she needs to see someone because it's getting a little bit out of hand. I'm
06:14 supportive on one side and a little bit nervous on the other side. I think plastic surgery helps
06:19 with your insecurities, but I think plastic surgery as well makes you insecure. When you
06:24 first have surgery, you always have these expectations that you're going to look a
06:28 certain way, that you're going to be like a Barbie doll immediately, but that never happens.
06:33 You have to heal for months. You don't want me to go snowboarding because you don't want me to
06:37 get hurt, so it's the same thing. I don't want you to do more plastic surgeries because I don't want
06:40 you to get hurt. I don't care. No, I don't want to hear this. I'm turned off. If she wants to get
06:48 another bum thing, that's three, like, I'm going to be pulling my hair out, but also, you know.
07:00 Goodbye. Goodbye. Go pull it out in the bathroom by yourself. Stop.
07:07 Hearing Michael share his concerns for my health made me feel like, obviously, I want to be more
07:15 cautious so that Michael and my family don't have to stress that much, but at the same time,
07:21 it's not going to change anything. I'm still going to get tons of plastic surgery. He obviously wants
07:27 a real-life Barbie, too, so it's just playing around. I always felt like I would do something
07:33 so great that could possibly help the world, even through my plastic surgery, so I have bigger goals.
07:39 I believe that I will get a lot of plastic surgery, but I probably will stop around 50,
07:44 like, but you never know. I might need it more then. I don't know.
07:52 [silence]
