His striking appearance left even the famous presenter Richard Hammond speechless.
Eric jokes: “I often leave people speechless – it’s almost like a superpower”
It all started in the 90s with the first innovative operation – tongue splitting 👅, literally cut in half.
“I felt like my tongue was burning under the laser – it was a fireworks display of pain, and it took me a week to start speaking normally again,” he says.
But that was just the beginning.
To complete his reptilian look, Eric had Teflon implants 🧱 inserted under the skin of his forehead, creating a line of bumps reminiscent of lizard scales.
Six hours without anesthesia was a real ordeal, accompanied by vomiting and hallucinations 🤢.
His teeth were filed down to razor-sharp tips 🦷, and he had to relearn how to speak with the help of a speech therapist 🗣️.
Between the physical pain, the surprised looks and the judgment, Eric fully embraces his transformation, which has literally changed his life 🥳.
Although he admits that sometimes harsh words hurt, he prefers to respond to them with positivity ✌️.
His wife Megan ❤️, a comrade and constant supporter, finds his forked tongue quite charming!
Eric Sprague is more than just a modified human: he is a living work of art, a walking manifestation of freedom and courage, inspiring to push all boundaries 🌟.
