Nip Tuck And Martial Arts
How do the two go together?
Well, if you’re Roberto Miguel Rey Júnior, not a problem.
Some of you might be asking yourselves, whom I’m talking about.
You’re probably more familiar with his aliases such as Dr. Robert Rey or simply Dr. Rey.
I saw him the first time on E! about 3 years ago on the reality show Dr. 90210.
Again, if you’re not familiar with all these U.S. American intricacies, that’s the zip code for Beverly Hills, California.
In my humble opinion, Dr. Rey is quite an interesting guy and here’s why.
Born in th U.S. in 1961, the naturalized Brazilian lived in Sao Paulo until he was about 12, when he was brought to Utah along with his siblings by Mormon missionaries.
Four years later his mother reunited and lived with them in Prescott, Arizona.
So, what happened to his father?
Well, let’s put it this way:
It just didn’t work out and yet it did a lot better in many ways for Dr. Rey, who went on to study medicine at Tuft University School of Medicine, where he got his M.D. in 1990.
He advanced to acquire the knowledge and skills to become a very accomplished cosmetic surgeon licensed in California and Massachusetts.
And believe it or not, Dr. Rey has performed over 10,000 surgeries!
He has been featured on too many TV shows to even list here and it is safe to say that he is somewhat of a household name through the reality show, simply known as Dr. 90210.
What I find admirable is the fact that the married father of 2 children donates a lot of his time and skills to humanitarian missions to operate of children with physical deformaties.
Even with the craziness of a heavy workload and countless other obligations, Dr. Rey still has the drive and enthusiasm to pursue his commitment to martial arts which include Tae Kwon Do (black belt) and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (blue belt).
I found the following clip of Dr. Rey starting his BJJ training with Rener Gracie. Very cool!
