The 50-year-old circus performer who wants to be taxidermied
A circus performer says he wants his body to be taxidermied when he dies.
Anthony Walls, who is 50, performs a ‘human pin cushion’ act, which involves him pushing giant pins through his face.
He told us that, instead of being buried or cremated, he wants his “body to carry on as a scene in sideshows and performances.”
Jane, a taxidermist, joined Anthony on the show. She told us that to taxidermy his body would “cost an awful lot of money – but everybody has their price.”
