Beckham wannabe in £20K debt spends benefits on liposuction

Jack Johnson pays back his debts with welfare money

A teenager who’s on a quest to look like David Beckham is in thousands of pounds worth of debt and has now spent his benefits money on liposuction.

Jack Johnson, 19, has splashed £20,000 on a variety of cosmetic procedures, including Botox, tanning injections, lip fillers and work on his teeth in order to look like the 41-year-old.

He is unemployed, so has been paying for the work with loans, which he is now paying back with benefits.

The teen receives £12,000 a year from the government and says it is up to him how he spends his money.

He told Channel 5’s On Benefits: “It is my life and it has sod all to do with anyone else.

“If I get enough benefits I could pay my debts off. It is up to you what you do with your money, what am I doing wrong?

“So all you haters out there, you can jogon.com.”

Did he really just say that?

Jack has no regrets even though he is constantly contacted by debt companies to pay back the money.

He continued: “I wouldn’t look how I do today if I hadn’t taken out loans so no regrets.”

Speaking of regrets, Jack has the same tattoo as Becks ‘no regrets’ too!

No we are not joking.

Jack, who weighs twenty stone has decided to undergo liposuction so that he can have the slim physique that the football-loving hunk does.

He said: “I want liposuction, this is what I have to do to get a body like David Beckham.

“It might not give me a six-pack like him but I will be closer to my goal.”

But, Jack found the procedure very painful and had to ask the surgeon to stop after removing one litre of fat, instead of the target two litres.

He continued: “I am groggy and sore now but it is worth it as in a few weeks time I will be skinny and feel more confident about myself, so it is worth the pain in the long run to look slimmer.”

Jack also aims to make sure his wardrobe is like Davids.

He said: “I Google his outfits online and see if I can get them in my shops.

“Everyday I have to wear something different, like this hoodie I bought for £100 and have only worn once or twice.”

It’s safe to say he is obsessed!
