A middle-aged man has made waves after he styled his hair into a perfectly right-angled flat top in order to make himself look younger - but instead ended up looking like a plastic Lego toy.
When Wu Lei, 54, from Taiwan, was quizzed about the hairdo by a Chinese reporter, he said he had wanted to impress a 23-year-old woman he had tried to chat up but was rejecting his advances.
Wu, who is still single despite the expensive hairdo, said:
"I can't understand it. I make an attractive monthly income of 70,000 Taiwanese Dollars (£1,400 - N350,000). I adopted this hairstyle because I wanted to look like a guy in his 20s or 30s to attract the girl who rejected me. Or in fact any girl."On the other hand, the young woman said the hairdo had made her even more unlikely to respect him as he looked like a Lego figure or character from the video game "Warcraft".
She said:
"My friends call him blockhead, I can imagine he might have found someone as he had a good and respectable job as a medical laboratory scientist at the National Taiwan University Hospital. But he should act his age."Styling his hair was not an easy task. Wu reportedly needs to use up two cans of gel and spends two hours doing his hair. He can also only comb it once every 15 days to get rid of dead hair.
Despite the fact that he didn't get the girl he wanted, the hairdo and media coverage has made Wu a local celebrity.
