Man with a horrific hole in his head becomes web celebrity

A man with a hole in his head has become an internet phenomenon after a video of him being interviewed was circulated on the web.

The man, who appears to be in his 70s, is being interviewed, apparently by friends and family members, after surgery which has left him with a hole in and around his left eye socket leading through to the sinuses and his optical nerve.

At one point his interviewer says ‘But they got it all, huh?’, suggesting the man might have been operated on for cancer.
