Man with rare skin condition can stick almost anything to his head
Jamie Keeton, 47, has an unammed condition which turns his pores into suction pads thus allowing him to stick almost anything to his head. This rare feat is making giving him a fortune as a unique promotional tool. Jamie, otherwise known as "Can Head", has a sticky skin so powerful that he can hold a bottle of Barcadi to the side of his head and tip it into people's mouths without it falling off. His unique ability has seen him appear on the Ellen DeGeneres show and travel to China to break the world record for carrying most cans on his head. Big name brands have been quick to spot an advertising opportunity, and now pay Jamie thousands of dollars to attach their product to his skin.
Jamie, 47, from Illinois, told Mail Online : "My doctor explained to me that my skin pores act like suction cups, so things stick to me.
"My body heat is also hotter than normal, which makes the suction stronger."
He claims he can make $8,000 in a weekend through companies by sticking their brand on his head.
