Covered from head-to-toe with dazzling zebra stripes, Rich Fortuna, 25, turned heads whenever he went outdoors for walks – and since a video of his tan lines went viral earlier this month, he has even attracted the attention of “hundreds” of flirty women who were intrigued by his look. “When you look like this, you can’t go unobserved, no one has ever seen anyone like this.” Rich thinks the zebra tan may help him find love – something he hadn’t expected. “I was really happy with the results, even if it was so strange looking.” He added: “I am always trying to do different things.” Chuffed with the results, when he was back in the Netherlands he went to a sunbed to try and replicate the results in September, but he opted for a vegan spray tan the following month as he didn’t want to harm his skin. She was flabbergasted.” The £25 tan looked incredible and like “something out of a video game”, according to Rich, and since his video went viral his phone hasn’t stopped pinging with views and messages from astounded strangers.
