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 鈥榟uman pin cushion鈥� act, which involves him pushing giant pins through his face.

He told us that, instead of being buried or cremated, he wants his 鈥渂ody to carry on as a scene in sideshows and performances.鈥�

Jane, a taxidermist, joined Anthony on the show. She told us that to taxidermy his body would 鈥渃ost an awful lot of money 鈥� but everybody has their price.鈥�
