Real-Life Barbie Doll Valeria Lukyanova Criticized By Human Ken Doll; What Did He Say? [Video]
It looks like the Human Ken and Human Barbie won't end up living a dream life in a Malibu mansion anytime soon.
Last year, Justin Jedlica, a 33-year-old New Yorker who's had over 100 surgical procedures to emulate the Ken doll, met the infamous real-life Barbie, Valeria Lukyanova, face-to-face at a photo shoot. And apparently, that didn't go too well.
In a recent interview, the Ken doll look-alike opened up to Us Weekly about his in person meeting with Lukyanova and his disdain for the Ukraine model.
Although Jedlica said "She was cute, and seemed overall sweet," he said that they failed to make a real connection. "I tried to give her a hug and crack up with her," he recalled, but, "She wasn't really having it."
According to him, the 28-year-old Barbie look-alike is trying "to impersonate a mannequin" even when cameras weren't rolling. "If she gives off too much emotion or personality, people aren't going to associate her with a plastic object. With a dead mannequin. Right?"
He went on to say that he wasn't fond of Lukyanova's stiff personality. "You don't speak, you don't laugh, there's no personality. So, why are we giving you the time of day? As an out gay male, as a stepfather of two kids, you kind of start to think ... what are you using your celebrity for?"
He also insinuated that she is being controlled by her husband and manager.
In April, Jedlica, who married his partner last July, told GQ magazine that he thinks the Ukrainain model is "a cute girl," but he added that "I don't really get her. I don't get why people think she's so interesting," Jedlica said. "She has extensions. She wears stage makeup. She's an illusionist."
