The British woman who has spent some $30,000 to look like Kim Kardashian has her eye on show business.
Claire Leeson, whose transformation tale has gone viral, told the Daily News that she hopes to emulate the 33-year-old star's career, too.
'I'd love to be able to market myself the same way that Kim has,' she said. 'Even if I had half of the fame Kim has, I'd be happy.'
In her quest to keep up with a Kardashian, Leeson, 24, got a boob job, hair extensions, pricey teeth whitening procedures and many spray tans. She wears silicone padding to copy Kim's famous curves, and splurges on designer duds and shoes.
But looking like Kim K. comes at a price.
Leeson, who lives in London, works as a full-time receptionist and had to take out credit cards and loans to cover her breast augmentation.
The boob job, along with pricey procedures like teeth whitening and shopping for designer clothes and shoes, have added up to more than $30,000, leaving Leeson more than $10,000 in debt.
'My family is worried about me,' she said. 'At first, they reacted very worryingly, hoping that I would stop with this obsession. They tell me I don't need surgery to enhance my looks and that I'm pretty enough and naturally look like (Kim).'
Leeson was 17 when she first became a fan of Kim Kardashian.
'I thought she was so beautiful and just wanted to look like her,' she said.
She previously said on ITV's 'This Morning' that she was bullied and tormented by her peers when she was a teenager.
'I was told every day that I was the 'ugliest thing alive' and I should 'kill myself,'' Leeson said on the program.
Copying Kardashian makes her feel 'unstoppable,' and the Brit doesn't have any regrets - or plans to quit.
'I love my breasts and want to continue perfecting my look,' she told The News. 'I'm currently in more debt than anyone can imagine and have not paid this debt off, but I have continued to put myself into more debt to get my Kimmy on.'
