No one will hire him....

Anthony Loffredo, widely known as ‘Black Alien’, has recently shared the challenges he faces in securing employment.

Loffredo says that his extensive tattoos and body modifications have led to a situation where employers are reluctant to hire him.

He became well-known as ‘Black Alien’ through his extensive body modifications, aiming to transform himself into an extraterrestrial being as per his own vision.

However, this unique appearance has its downsides, and Loffredo has opened up about how it has negatively impacted his career prospects.

Previously, Loffredo shared with his Instagram followers the emotional toll his journey has taken:

“This project to which I gave everything, love, passion, determination, strength, has lost its meaning over the years.

“I did not expect it to have so much impact on the world, to be known I did not know how to manage it and my project has lost its meaning.

“One thing is for sure I no longer want to touch my body or take anything off or put anything on, I am putting an end to the modification of my body for the moment I no longer like this world.

“I’m going to finish my full black all over the body and finish for the moment like this. Goodbye body modification.”

In an interview with the French newspaper Midi Libre, as reported by the New York Post, Loffredo previously explained his initial reasons for beginning his transformation.

“From a very young age, I have been passionate about mutations and transformations of the human body,” he stated.

He recalled a pivotal moment while working as a security guard, saying:

“I realised that I was not living my life the way I wanted. I stopped everything at 24 and left for Australia.

“I love getting into the shoes of a scary character. I often settle down somewhere and play a role, especially at night in the dark streets…

“I explore the contrast between the role I play and myself.”

Loffredo has also surprised his followers by posting several throwback photos showing his appearance before the modifications.

In a Channel 4 documentary, Loffredo reminisced, revealing that he was once considered a ‘very sexy guy’.

“But I’m the same person! Same heart!” he emphasized. “But it’s not my body, my real body.”

He further reflected on his past on Instagram, writing: “13 years/35 years. A slave to the body of the free spirit.

“Free is the race of poets. To choose is to be free. Everyone is free, everyone has their convictions. The story continues.”

More recently, Loffredo discussed the difficulties he faces in finding a job due to his distinctive appearance.

On an episode of the Club 113 podcast, Loffredo shared:

“It’s a fight every day, because every day you find new people who don’t understand, who want to judge. It’s life, not everyone understands everything.

“Like me, I don’t understand lots of things about lots of people. You can’t judge someone, no one knows what’s inside someone’s head, why they’re doing that, you need to talk with this person.

“I can’t find a job, there’s lots of negative stuff. It could be positive because you feel better, but you have to know there’s also a dark side.”

He concluded: “I’m a normal guy, I work, I have a family… I like being looked at like a normal guy with a job, with a family, who has a friend, girlfriend, all of that.

“That’s what makes me normal.”
