Lorenz Valentino is an actor and model who has created a new hobby for himself -- editing his dinosaur-costumed self into celebrity Instagram pictures.
The reasoning as to why Lorenz Valentino chose to dress himself as a green and yellow prehistoric animal that's complete with owl-shaped slippers isn't completely clear -- however the pictures are all the more humorous with it. The project has garnered the actor and model a large amount of attention on social media, with his followers eager to see his next creative edit of celebrity Instagram photos.
He seems to comment on the silliness of taking social media too seriously, inserting himself into the images to take away from the overly conscious projection many have become consumed with curating for themselves. Or, as DesignTAXI speculates, he's showing how great his contrived relationships are with the stars.
