This is the moment oddball Russian bodybuilder ‘Popeye’ has his eyebrows waxed and plucked before Botox is injected into his forehead.
Kirill Tereshin, 23, dubbed ‘Popeye’ due to his bazooka-like biceps hanging off his otherwise skinny frame, the botched result of injecting his arms with synthol oil, shared the footage on Instagram for his 280,000 followers.
In the footage, Popeye is seen having his eyebrows waxed and plucked before having Botox shots in his forehead.
He said: “Do you think a man should take care of his face? Now my cosmetologist wants to turn my face into jelly.”

However, not many followers sympathised with the young man’s beauty treatment.
Netizen ‘Giaww1’ said: “It is really tough to use the word ‘man’ when talking about you.”
‘Bb8Frstith’ commented: “Are you now trying to get Popeye’s eyebrows?”
‘Migen’ remarked: “I think the most important thing about a man is not how he looks, but how he thinks…”
In November last year, Popeye went under the knife to have some rotting flesh removed from his botched biceps.
The synthol injections reportedly caused tissue fibrosis followed by necrosis, seriously affecting his health.
Fortunately for the young Russian, he was able to have much of his rotting muscle and tissue removed.
Following the operation, he told Newsflash that he was feeling much better, adding: “It feels very weird, very unusual. My arm feels lighter. Now I am going through a rehab. Soon we will proceed with the next phase of treatment.”
