Elliot Joseph Rentz (a.k.a. Alexis Stone)

Elliot Joseph Rentz a.k.a. Alexis Stone took the headlines by storm when he convinced the world that he’d undergone dramatic cosmetic survey in order to alter his appearance.

I said . . . let me take this rumor, this accusation, this comment, and let me give you what you want.”

According to Allure, Rentz worked with makeup designer David Marti to “…create a lifecast of his face for prosthetics that would make Stone look like he had, in fact, gotten intensive facial plastic surgery.”
