A YOUNG English mum who used to get teased about her looks in school is having the last laugh: she now makes a living as a professional Katy Perry impersonator.
In her high school days, 26-year-old Suzy O’Neill was taunted for her large eyes and full lips. Then blonde and almost 20 kilograms heavier, she was dubbed ‘frog face’ by cruel bullies.
After shedding the weight and changing her hair colour, O’Neill’s remarkable likeness to pop superstar Perry soon became apparent. She’s since been snapped up by one of the UK’s top celebrity lookalike agencies.
“I’d always had grief over the way I looked, when I was in school people used to say I looked like a frog,” O’Neill told the Daily Star.
“After I had my little boy, David, now seven, I put on loads of weight, and I didn’t really ever have time to bother with my appearance. But when I broke up with my partner at the time, I decided it was time for a new me.
“I uploaded pictures of my weight loss and dramatic new image on Instagram, and I got loads of strangers sending me messages telling me that I looked like Katy Perry.
“At first, I really couldn’t see it myself, but when I started slipping into size 10 dresses, I began to notice it more — and thought why not use it to my advantage!”
