Some people like dinosaurs and other people are dinosaurs ... well, sort of.

Actor and model Lorenz Valentino has always had the unique dream of becoming "the most famous dino in the world." 

Though that may sound impossible, because, well, he's a human, Valentino came up with a creative way to make his prehistoric dream a present-day reality -- by creating hilarious Photoshop images of himself wearing a dino suit while spending quality time with celebrities.
