Author planning to splurge €150,000 on 'Will Shakespeare' surgery

A high profile Chinese author is planning to spend €150,000 on plastic surgery to make himself look like William Shakespeare.

According to local newspapers, Zhang Yiyi will undergo 10 surgeries over a 10-month period to sculpt his face into the spitting image of the British playwright.

The surgeon set to perform the procedures said it would not be too difficult because Zhang already has a sculpted face with a sharp nose and deep eyes, similar to Shakespeare.
