Life doesn’t suck for Jamie Keeton, and he can thank his sticky skin.
Keeton is known as “the human suction cup” thanks to a rare condition that makes things like bottles, cans, phones, pads of paper and other objects stick to his skin.
The 47-year-old Chicago-based sideshow artist calls himself “a real-life X-man-type person.” He travels all over the world showing off the tricks he can do with his unusual epidermis.
He even owns a Guinness World Record for“most drink cans placed on the head using air suction,” which he set in January 2016, when he stuck eight cans to his skull.
“Everything sticks to me as long as it’s got a hard surface that can suck to me,” Keeton told The Wizard Of Odd, a YouTube channel featuring humans doing extraordinarily weird things. “Most of the time when I’m walking around, people think the cans of glue are magnetized. ... That’s why I use a lot of aluminum and plastic, so none of its magnetizable.”
Some of his most impressive stunts include pouring drinks out of bottles and cans stuck to his body.
