Man's medical condition makes him a living suction cup

EVERGREEN PARK, IL -- Jamie "Canhead" Keeton makes a professional living out of putting stuff on his head. From full cans to bottles of alcohol, the items all stick to his head.

Doctors told Keeton, 47, his condition was because of his abnormally high body temperature.

His temperature is always at 100 degrees, which turns his skin into a giant suction cup, according to doctors.

Keeton's doctors aren't exactly sure why his skin acts like a suction cup, but said he's completely healthy.

"I can stick almost anything. Let me try your iPhone. Look, I'm hands free," Keeton, who lives near Chicago, joked.

Keeton said he can make up to $1,000 a day and $8,000 a weekend just for renting out his head.
