Self-styled ‘Benefits King’ wants public to pay for his £3,500 new teeth to help him look like David Beckham
THE self-styled 'Benefits King' now wants the public to pay for his £3,500 new teeth to help him look like his idol David Beckham.
Jack Johnson, 23, is crowdfunding for a full set of dental veneers, despite the fact he lives on benefits and has already forked out £50,000 on other cosmetic procedures.
The Nottingham lad has created an online Gofundme account to raise the funds, despite claiming £940 each month in Universal Credit and £549 each month in disability living allowance.
On the site, Jack writes: "when I was 14 years old I got badly bullied at school and on one occasion I got badly beaten up which left my teeth chiseled / cracked / deformed."
He explains that the ordeal is "affecting my life dramatically" and has given him "major confidence issues".
"I can't even go on a date with my teeth how they are at the moment!" he laments.
The solution, Jack believes, is set of public-funded veneers.
My ideal smile is to have the same teeth as David Beckham so I'm begging please make my dream come true.

He continues: "I've tried hundreds of times to get my teeth fixed on the NHS but I just keep going round in circles so I'm pleading and begging for the British public and friend's and family to chip in my go fund even if it's £1 any little bit will help.
"I am wanting a full set top and bottom veneers which is costing £3,500 that's aftercare included and my flights included plus aftercare hotel included for the week I'm away in Turkey having veneers fitted!

'EASY MONEY'
Speaking to the he said: “I suffer with mild depression and mild anxiety, that’s the reason I’m not working at the moment, but if I'm totally honest life is much easier and much better on benefits – my friends call me the Benefits King.
“I have set up a crowdfunding page because anyone, from all different walks of life, is entitled to crowd fund and it’s free money.
“Let’s be honest, I’m just relaxing each day and the money will go up – easy money and easy work to get my dream smile.”

Jack, who’s life goal is to have enough surgery to look make him like David Beckham, believes that the procedure should be available to him on the NHS.
He commented: “Absolutely, cosmetic surgery should be available on the NHS.
“People with no arms or legs get new legs and arms on the NHS, so why can’t people get new lips or a new face on the NHS?”
He added: “But it’s not just that, I want veneers because David himself has veneers and after all I’m trying to look his double.”
CELEB CLINIC
Jack wants to go to the Comfort Zone clinic in Turkey where he says "all the celebs get their work done there and they cost £3,500.”
He claims to have already had botox, cheek, lip and jaw fillers, liposuctions, a nose job, chin implant and a beard transplant.
Brow, eyelid and neck lifts and tanning injections are also on the list of work he claims to have had done.
Jack also spends thousands of pounds on clothes, including a recent £1,600 Louis Vuitton bag purchase.

Jack first hit the headlines when he claimed he had spiralled into thousands of pounds worth of debt in his quest to look like David Beckham.
And last year, he revealed he actually wants to resemble Victoria Beckham, saying it will cost around £18,000 to fully transition, including a boob job and face lift.
He then appeared on This Morning and did a series of interviews about the apparent surgeries - but later admitted he had lied about the whole thing.
Jack admitted he decided to come clean after suffering "abuse and hate" online, and revealed his family and friends knew it was a "stunt".
