Beautiful people are always surrounded by attention. But it can be enjoyable, raising self-esteem and increasing the number of admirers. The ugliest people are less favorably treated by others, they are often pointed at, their appearance flaws are discussed in whispers or in public, and many other unpleasant things are done to a person.
Some of the people on our list of the worst people in the world have adapted to this, and some even enjoy this attitude, making good money from it.
20. Joseph Merrick
Let's start the rating of the most terrible people with the famous "elephant man" who lived in Victorian England. Behind his terrible appearance hid a sensitive nature, Joseph wrote poetry and made paper models of cathedrals. However, he had to earn his living by working in a local circus and performing in a freak show.
Merrick is one of the victims of Proteus syndrome, a genetic disorder that causes excessive growth of the head, skin and bones. His enormous head forced him to sleep sitting up. When the weight of his head bent his thin neck, 27-year-old Merrick died of asphyxia.
19. Jocelyn Wildenstein
Some call this billionaire a lioness, while others call her a monster or a victim of plastic surgery.
Only she knows the exact number of plastic surgeries she voluntarily underwent to transform her once beautiful face into a semblance of a lion's muzzle. This was how Jocelyn wanted to please her ex-husband, Alec Wildenstein, who was passionate about lions.
However, in 1999, Alec traded his kitty for Russian model Lyuba Stupakova. And Jocelyn was left with a strange passion for plastic surgery and billions in compensation as a memento of him.
18. Didier Montalvo
For most people, moles on the body are just a minor cosmetic problem. However, for a Colombian boy, moles became a real curse. After all, one of them took up most of his back, turning it into a kind of turtle shell.
English surgeon Neil Bulstrode performed a successful operation to remove a huge birthmark, after which six-year-old Didier began to live the life of an ordinary child.
17. Rudy Santos
This Filipino man is a victim of a rare condition called craniopagus parasiticus (parasitic twin). On his stomach are a pair of arms and legs, as well as an underdeveloped head with one ear and hair that belonged to his unborn brother.
Because of this, Rudy was nicknamed the "octopus man." In the 1970s, he actively participated in various freak shows, and even refused to have his extra limbs surgically removed, explaining that he had physically and spiritually merged with his twin.
16. Melanie Gaydos
Sometimes, a terrible appearance does not hinder, but helps to achieve fame. Melanie, who was born with ectodermal dysplasia, has almost no hair on her body, she has only three teeth, and those are baby teeth (the rest fell out, and the permanent ones never appeared).
But the girl was lucky in one way - she contacted photographers on Craigslist who were looking for people with unique looks. Now Melanie is a sought-after model and actress.
15. Jose Mestre
Living with a tumor is a terrible ordeal that Jose Mestre has endured all his life. He was born with a hemangioma, a benign tumor that grew and grew until it weighed 5.5 kg. It literally buried Jose's face, blinded him in one eye and almost deprived him of the ability to breathe.
Fortunately, Chicago doctor Mackay McKinnon was able to relieve the patient of this heavy burden. This required three operations.
14. Jason Schechterly
One of the scariest people in the world is known as the "man with the removed face." It all happened because of a car accident. Jason's car caught fire, and he suffered terrible burns, and the skin on his face was completely burned.
Doctors managed to save Shechterli's life, but his former appearance was lost forever.
13. Supatra Sasufan
There are very few people in the world who suffer from Ambras syndrome, and Supatra is one of them. It is also called werewolf syndrome. The girl was called "wolf" and "monkey face", but getting into the Guinness Book of Records as the hairiest girl in the world brought Sasuphan popularity among her classmates.
However, despite her "wolf-like appearance," Supatra managed to find love. She got married and now shaves her face every day.
12. Carlos "Half" Rodriguez
He's not the only man to suffer a serious head injury. But he's probably the most famous. Carlos, under the influence of alcohol and drugs, got into a car accident, flew out the front window and landed on his head.
Many did not believe that he would not survive, but he did. Rodriguez is now an advocate for policies that prohibit drunk driving and also encourages people not to use drugs.
11. Claudio Vieira
The Brazilian is also known as the "Upside-Down Man." When he was born, doctors advised his mother not to feed him. No one believed that Claudio would survive except his family.
Claudio eventually earned a degree in accounting and then went on to work as a motivational speaker.
10. Dennis Avner
This American was obsessed with becoming a cat. And he became one. At least, his face resembles a cat's muzzle, his upper lip is split in two, his teeth are sharpened, and his fingernails are more like claws. Would you dare to pet such a cat? I wouldn't.
9. Abigail and Brittany Hensel
These girls are Siamese twins, they have one body but two heads. Abigail and Brittany have two spinal cords, but all organs below the waist are shared. What's even more interesting is that their eating habits, clothing choices, and favorite colors are different.
8. Sain Mumtaz
A Pakistani man looks like a monster. But not because he likes being one. He suffers from a rare condition called Proteus syndrome, which has deformed his head. But the man is mentally normal, and suffers greatly from the attitude of those around him.
He is not hired, and when Sain was a child, locals often ran away when they saw him. Over time, they got used to his appearance. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for people with Proteus syndrome that stops excessive bone growth.
7. Mohammad Kaleim
Among the photos of the scariest people there are also children. Alas, nature is sometimes cruel even to its young creations.
Mohammad Kaleim from India was born with a rare disease: his palms grew to gigantic sizes - 33 centimeters. In 2015, he underwent surgery to reduce the size of his hands. However, Kaleim is still on the list of the most unusual people in the world.
6. Billy Owen
In 2013, Billy lost half his face and one of his eyeballs. This tragedy was the result of a rare form of cancer. To save the patient's life, surgeons removed part of his nasopharynx and upper palate.
Owen embraced his new life by joining Freakshow and now makes his living performing at zombie festivals and shows.
5. Yu Zhenghuang
This Chinese man looks like a hybrid of a monkey and a human. He even got the nickname "Half-Monkey". Hair covers 96% of his body surface.
4. Mandy Sellars
Fourth place in the top 10 scariest people is occupied by a woman with unusually large feet. Due to a rare genetic mutation called Proteus syndrome, her lower limbs were far larger than the rest of her body.
Mandy had to have one of them removed up to her knee. This unique woman was the subject of a TV documentary called Losing One of My Giant Legs.
3. Eric Sprague "The Lizard"
A shining example of how one can voluntarily join the ranks of the most terrifying people on Earth, this man makes his living performing for the amusement of the public, both live and on TV.
He has jagged teeth, a full-body tattoo of green scales, subdermal implants, and wears green lipstick.
There were once rumors that he wanted to have a tail transplant, but Eric said it was impossible.
2. Petero Byakatonda
A Ugandan man is called the "egghead boy," and after looking at the photos of the world's ugliest people, you'll immediately understand the reason for this nickname.
He suffers from Crouzon syndrome, a deformity of the facial and cerebral parts of the skull that occurs in the womb. Because of this, Petero's eyeballs and ears are not in the right places.
1. Elizabeth "Lizzie" Velazquez
This woman was born with a rare congenital disease - Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome. Because of it, Lizzie does not accumulate fat in her body and her weight has never exceeded 29 kilograms. As a child, she went blind in her right eye, and her left eye is poorly seen.
As if Lizzie's physical suffering wasn't enough, people added mental suffering to it. Someone posted a video of her on YouTube, and it was dubbed "The Ugliest Girl in the World."
When Velasquez watched the video and read the comments underneath it, she didn’t get depressed, but began posting responses to the most offensive posts. She is now a motivational speaker, teaching others how to respond to bullying and fight stereotypes. And while she may still be called the ugliest woman in the world, Elizabeth Velasquez’s fortitude is the envy of many physically healthy people.
